Objective Rating:
The mark of a great mystery story is when it's solved by the main character saying, "Oh, I remember what happened now." F*** you, Phillip Pullman. I didn't expect to like this movie, though. We just rented it because Matt Smith (eventually to be the 11th Doctor) is in it and I wanted to see how Doctor-y he is. Can't really say, though; the director of this crap movie managed to never quite let you see his actors' performances.
