Well, I suppose with enough wine, anything's tolerable.

Read the books instead.

That is the most deliciously scathing review since "Last night Tallulah Bankhead barged down the Nile as Cleopatra, and sank."

Agreed. I was...disappointed, to say the least. Way to dilute the themes! The visuals were pretty nice, though.

I disliked the books, so it seems I'm stuck with drinking that wine on my lonesome.

This makes me sad and happy. :() because compared to HP these books were so full of new ideas and themes, but they managed to make good movies out of HP and not this? Maybe some things are meant to just be read and imagined - we readers can keep the best stuff for ourselves.

Oh, wine, that's what I was missing.

I haven't seen it yet, but since I liked the books, I should expect not as much? (Honestly, no books for a long while have made me want to illustrate quite as much as His Dark Materials. Amazing mental images.)
