I actually liked it... mostly. Of course a movie gets major points from me for featuring Polar Bear Warfare. ;^) Some of the shots in the tundra were breathtaking (when Lyra's riding for example... the loping bear a bit higher than the horizon - a truly beautiful shot). But the cuts made to the story were pretty nasty and the ending was, at best, completely truncated (in the book things happen differently... and more disturbingly). Still I liked it. I can't say that I really ended up a fan of the books however... the last book, especially, just went all metaphysical and weird and ended even worse that the movie. Maybe he just can't end things well...
