Bears and Flying Machines.. Oh My!
Ahhhh.. I took some time today and watched, The Golden Compass, that I had bought for my brother.
I would have a difficult time not enjoying this movie since I liked the books so much. The only down side is that it is ONLY the first book!
But who could not like it with the cast it has!?
Nicole Kidman ... Marisa Coulter
Daniel Craig ... Lord Asriel
Dakota Blue Richards ... Lyra Belacqua
Ben Walker ... Roger
Freddie Highmore ... Pantalaimon (voice)
Ian McKellen ... Iorek Byrnison (voice)
Eva Green ... Serafina Pekkala
Jim Carter ... Lord John Faa
Tom Courtenay ... Farder Coram
Ian McShane ... Ragnar Sturlusson (voice)
Sam Elliott ... Lee Scoresby
Christopher Lee ... First High Councilor
Kristin Scott Thomas ... Stelmaria (voice)
Edward de Souza ... Second High Councilor
Kathy Bates ... Hester (voice)
Even before it began I had remembered the ads and that Ian McKellan was the voice of the bear, Iorek Byrnison ! Loved the character when I read the books so this just was icing on the cake!
Oh! and Sam Elliott as Lee Scoresby! Hello!?!! (can we say, "one of the sexiest voices around?!!)
About now I can hear you saying, "oh man, she's into old men!"
"Hell yes!", I'm an old lady ya think I want a youngun? Nada!
And yes, I know Ian is gay.. so what?! He's still ma-h-h-h-hrvelous to watch!
You young ladies can drool over Daniel Craig, and you can leave the "oldies but goodies" to me! :o)
It's a good movie!! And the eyecandy adds to watching it, you may want to put it on your TBW (To Be Watched) list..! But I will say that the books are still a bit better than the movie, so keep them on your TBR list if you haven't already read them.
