(*) THE GOLDEN COMPASS: EXTENDED EDITION ***

USA/UK: Chris Weitz, 2007

It should be noted that whilst the version of the film I watched here was the UK, Region B encoded Blu-ray Disc, titled as the "Extended Edition" I could identify no extra footage to that of the theatrical version I had seen previously. Curious, as THE GOLDEN COMPASS feels like a compromised work which suffers from plot and pacing issues. As a result the film would surely benefit from a longer running time in which to fully bring this adaptation closer to the much praised source novel.
