The heroine is a pill, the issues are jumbled maybe because of the attempt not to offend potential moviegoers and the storytelling is clunky. Golden Compass Blu-ray The Golden Compass is an enjoyable, albeit confusing diversion. A mishmash of half-baked ideas, loud special-effects and disjointed imagery. The Golden Compass ultimately fails as a film in its broad strokes and inadequate scene development. Every character in The Golden Compass has a daemon, a talking animal sidekick who follows them everywhere. Its a neat idea — I wished I had one sitting in the theater with me to explain what the heck was going on.
