You should go there

The Golden Compass was enertaining and fun to watch. While it seemed to meander and wallow in a kind of self-endulgent way, the film is rich and beautiful. The characters are charming in a Mary Poppins sort of way. I wish however that the film actually had and ending, rather than walking away with the distinct impression that they already have Part 2 almost in the can. Even if they do, a movie should stand on its own. And, was that Kate Bush singing at the end?
