“As a child, I really enjoyed all of His Dark Materials. I was really psyched when The Golden Compass was going to be a movie. Holy shit, it was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. And not in a ha-ha-funny kind of worst movie, like The Room, but just bad.”
“Which is a shame, because it had some perfect casting choices, like Nicole Kidman as Mrs. Coulter and Sam Elliot as Lee Scoresby.”
“Also Eva Green, Ian McKellen, Daniel Craig, Ian McShane, Christopher Lee, Kathy Bates!!! The movie was just lousy with acting talent. Short of something like Movie 43, I think Golden Compass is the best cast work of garbage I’ve ever seen. What a colossal loss of potential.”
