Wow, what the crap was that? I feel like I watched something that was still in the early stages of editing and accidentally got released the way it was. The entire narrative, flow, and editing of the movie was so incredibly crappy.

The acting was fine, some of it was even great. I think the actress who played Lyra got it pretty perfect as did Nicole Kidman as Mrs. Coulter.

But I seriously didn't feel like I was watching a movie. It felt like I was watching pieces of a movie that was hastily flung together with little regard for character development, timing, or anything. Ew.
