Условие.

B Quickly read this review. Which of the things from A does it mention?

When I heard that The Golden Compass had been turned into a film, I was so excited. I went last Saturday night to see it with my friends at the local cinema. The film is based on my favourite book, Northern Lights. The book is the first in a series of three books called His Dark Materials. They’re great books, and I would recommend them. Unfortunately, the film was a great disappointment.

The plot is all about Lyra, an orphan who lives in Oxford. Lots of children start disappearing. When Lyra’s best friend is kidnapped, she goes on a journey to rescue him and to solve the mystery. Along the way she meets lots of other characters, such as some people called the Gyptians and a talking bear.

It’s an exhilarating story. However, I wasn’t convinced by the actors. The film has a star-studded cast, and that’s the problem. Nicole Kidman was too beautiful to be a villain. Every time I saw Daniel Craig I was reminded of James Bond! Actually, I think his performances in James Bond films are much better, especially in the latest one. There was some intelligent acting from Dakota Blue Richards, as Lyra, and gorgeous Eva Green, as Serafina Pekkala, but I’m afraid they couldn’t save the film.

My verdict? There were some astonishing special effects. The costumes were sumptuous and the music was lovely. However, if you enjoyed that fabulous book as much as I did, you’re better off avoiding this film.

HELPFUL HINTS

When your write a review, don’t try to tell the whole story: that’s not necessary or interesting. Make sure everything you write is relevant and don’t forget that a review is about your opinions.
