HBO His Dark Materials BLOWS this out of the WATER!

A high-budget, high-profile TV series was the only way to do the story justice and give it a modern realistic spin, and I'm thankful that the story is now complete on a visual medium.

This movie, by comparison, rushes by so fast and is so neutered and incomplete by the end that it's an insult to Philip Pullman.

Visually, Golden Compass wins, hands down. But storywise, His Dark Materials is way better. It’s a shame. There was real potential there.
