It's strange to see in the bonus materials how happy Pullman seems to be with this and how involved—and the enormous effort they put into making it so perfectly beautiful to look at and listen to. Most disturbing to me is the bogus ending in the little booklet that comes with it. Before I saw that I imagined that the real ending would begin the next film. But now, without the motivation that follows from the deaths of Billy and Roger, what's left? Hard to imagine where they plan to take the story next; maybe better not to think about it.
what booklet is this? my copy didn't come with a booklet...
What you said reminds me however of a Golden Compass booklet that was sold with Cheerios here. There were three different ones, I have one, called "Iorek and the Gyptian Alliance".
I should have known, it says "adapted from the Major Motion Picture" on the cover, and as you can imagine it is filled with inaccuracies.
It is sad that New Line seems to be damaging the HDM story with poor quality promotional material
