Yes, it is June and I am posting about movies I saw as far back as January. Trying to get caught up this weekend! We shall see…

I had just watched 1-6 on DVD as I had only seen the first couple long ago… I thought this was by far the best film. But it is also the one I wasn’t quilting through the watching of, so… I liked when they were out camping on their own.

Some derivative moments though. Maybe it’s the movies moreso than the book, but there were so many times when all I could think about was Lord of the Rings.

I still prefer the Pullman books (His Dark Materials trilogy) to these, as I have all along– especially after watching these movies. These are entertaining, but seem much more formulaic to me and the story/ideas/execution seem less original than Pullman.
