Meanwhile, The Golden Compass is receiving more positive reviews. The Evening Standard‘s Liz Hoggard has given the “definitively” good film four stars. Even the Daily Mail calls it a “feast.” Baz Bamigboye says, “Overall, the film works splendidly. It’s big-screen entertainment at its best.” Melanie McDonagh, for The Times, comments on the publicity generated by Catholic League, describing it as Christmas come early for Weitz. The Telegraph‘s Tim Robey warns fans of changes, “it’s just too vague, leaving the whole plot puzzlingly under-motivated,” but nevertheless praises its excitement. Watch this page for more reviews.
Following The Golden Compass premiere today (Tuesday), the assembled guests made their way to a lavish afterparty put on by New Line Cinema. The location, Tabacco Dock in London, had themed rooms based on various aspects of His Dark Materials. There was an icy Northern room, a genteel Oxford room and so forth. The event was patrolled by Magisterium guards and “attended” by Iorek Byrnison.
You can view photos from the event here. We’ll have more from the premiere and surrounding events in due course.
