Eeeee, Golden Compass! So excited! And no, you are not the only one who fell in love with the voice of the POLAR BEAR. ^.^;;
And, in summing up most of what you've said, I agree. Not sure how I felt about Beckett's death scene... it sort of felt off, to me. Like they went, "Oh, right... this guy. Shipsplode!"
Jack's expressions = LOVE
And I sort of thought the multiple-Jacks thing was a "See how flipping nuts he went locked up away from water?" sort of thing--he didn't seem quite that nuts before.
And I also agree in the visual effects department. MAJOR moviegasm--except Tia Dalma. WTF, mate. She's a goddess being freed after years of imprisonment, finding out that she was betrayed into the hands of her enemies by the man she loves, and the best you can give her is, "I... AM... BIIIIIG NOOOW, YOU BAASTAAARDS!!"
I'm going to go see it again, so I can drool without my little sister poking me in the shoulder every two minutes with observations and commentary. Not that I don't love her dearly dearly, but she talks constantly during movies.
