Question: Did you think The Golden Compass was rushed!?
I read the book many years ago, and I never even thought of it again, until the movie came out, so I re-read it!.!.!.

When I watched the movie, it seemed like it had a LOT of potential but it was cut short, not just at the end, but all over!. They would start to get into something, and flip to something else!.

I dunno, maybe its just me, what do you guys think!? Www@QuestionHome@Com

I totally agree! I was especially annoyed at the end! Did you know, they had the same ending as the book, but it got deleted and appeared on the DVD as a deleted scene!? You can see it here: http://au!.youtube!.com/watch!?v=1mfJeLVowL!.!.!. Its pretty bad quality, but yeah!.

I think the whole thing felt way too rushed!. I saw the movie, read the books, then saw the movie again!. The first time I saw it, I had NO idea what was going on! It was really hard to follow, and so many things got left out! But I hope they make a Subtle Knife movie, as I really want to see who they cast as Will!Www@QuestionHome@Com

The book is always better than the movie!.

Always!.

Books are made into movies in order to disappoint true fans and enlighten future ones!. Fact of life!. also, this should probably have been asked in the movie section!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I was quite disappointed with the movie as well!. At the end i was waiting for Lyra to go to Asriel but it stopped when they were in the air balloon!.
I wanted Roger to die like he did in the book
The books are betterWww@QuestionHome@Com

yes!!!! I mean the book is confusing enough as it is but when they cut out the important parts in the movie, it just kills the whole thing!Www@QuestionHome@Com
