Ok, lets start with Golden Compass. It was an OK movie. I really wasn't expecting much from it and my parents had to drag me to watch it. But I have to say if you've read the book you'll be disappointed, It's kinda like Harry Potter. Not the story but the book is always way way better. So nothing much to say about this. I give it 2 1/2 stars.
Next we have National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets. Definitely much better than Golden Compass. Eons better. But it wasn't as good as the first movie AND unfortunately there were certain parts that were way to similar to the first one. But there is one huge scene that made up for it. I don't want to put up any spoilers so I'll say no more. Just go watch it. 3 1/2 stars.
