the reviewer seems to like the movie overall, but he just seems surprised that big stars Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig have such limited screen time (she is supporting and Craig's character doesn't have many scenes in the book in the first place). Obviously he hasn't read the book but that's okay. He also says that Dakota Blue Richards is good as Lyra but that she sometimes falters with the Cockney accent. He also says that some of the dialogue is a bit stilted but he gives good marks to the production values, the special effects, Sam Elliot (yay!!!), and even director Chris Weitz who he says "proves he can handle big CGI sequences". I still take this review with a grain of salt though because The Telegraph also gave Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix a mixed review while I thought it was flat out fantastic. Let's hope the same is true here.
