* This film series has satisfied my eyes. besides cool of course there are many things that I can learn from the series.

The Golden Compass, released in 2007, had its issues, but this new series feels like a watered-down version only for young children, with its simplistic dialogue and toned-down action. With cameos from actors like Harry Me…
