wow - thank god for CGI

Rating: 6/10 (5 March 2008)

first of all, i would just like to say this could very well be the WORST movie made in 2007. EVERYTHING (well, almost everything) was complete crap: the horrible - HORRIBLE script (ex- the extremely painful scene in the boy's bedroom, with topics ranging from masturbation to a random hot girl), shitty acting from EVERY actor!, the stupid celeb cameos which ended up detracting from the movie, etc...
however, were it not for the BEAUTIFUL - GLORIOUS - STUNNING CGI visual effects, i would have given this movie a 1. sorry - it just didn't strike a chord in me - i'm honestly confused as to why it received such a high rating among fans!
but back to the effects... i haven't seen the golden compass yet but its effects must have been a gift from god for them to have won the Oscar! (i'm sure they're not and i bet money transformers had better effects. i think the problem in the end is that the movie in general was so darn bad. at least the golden compass was a movie based on a popular book and didn't make everyone want to throw up in their seats)
that's about all - i hope if you haven't seen the movie yet - you don't... unless you want to see one computer-generated miracle after the next
