JesseT: ‘Golden Compass’ Not For Everyone

I took my nine-year-old son to see “Golden Compass” today. It’s pretty action-packed but the story is confusing and set in an alternate universe, sort of a cross between Dickensian England and Narnia. There were lots of violent battles, but not much different from the latest Harry Potter. It’s rated PG-13. I’d recommend it as an escapist fantasy, but not for everyone.
