An interesting development to the dark materials trilogy. The first half is far superior, with some rather peculiar elements and a disjointed feel to the flood at times.

Very amusing with fun characters and even a few surprises towards the end (0 more)
A few elements seem random, like the fact that one character thinks he's a pirate (0 more)

I actually enjoyed it a lot more than the first book, just because I found it a lot easier to follow. It still has the deeper philosophical elements though.

The casting is very good. And I like certain added elements. (0 more)
It strayed too far from the books for me. And somethings were completely different. (0 more)

Thrilling, scary and suspenseful, Halloween delivers the perfect elements needed to create a successful horror film with a relentless, unstoppable villain, and director John Carpenter has done just that

This is a good idea for a zombie movie, it changes weak elements others have shown to give us a smart look at how the problem could be addressed.

This movie was intense! It was so good and I thought it had a lot of allegorical elements in it. The acting was amazing and the kids were SO cute!!

A typical Stephen King film, very odd at times. Wouldn't class it quite as a horror has certain elements of Stand by me and the Tommy Knockers in it. Overall pretty good.

High quality, some exceptionally creepy scenes and elements. (0 more)
The ending just made me feel confused, which was sad because I didn't walk away with the high level of creepiness I felt earlier. (0 more)

For some reason there just doesn't seem to be enough traditional fantasy elements in this book for me to group it with my other fantasy books. It's not great, but not terrible either.
