Zowee!

So......I saw "The Golden Compass" today. Wow. I liked it a lot. I think it is getting terrible reviews because everyone reads the book then goes and sees the movie expecting it to be on par, but no book-to-movie will ever be as good as the book so get over it. It was awesome. Also, I am glad they are marketing it differently then "The Chronicles of Narnia" because this is not a kids movie. It's more like a medium between "Chronicles" and "The Lord of the Rings". Very intense fighting.
SPOILER ALERT!!

There are two ice bears that fight in the movie in a very ferocious scene. It ends with the good ice bear batting the bad ice bear's lower jaw off of his face. Then he clamps his mouth around the bad ice bears head and snaps his neck.
...
Let me repeat that.
Bear #1 rips Bear #2's lower jaw off his face.
Bear #1 then puts Bear #2's head in his mouth and snaps his neck.

There was not one person in the theatre who did not react to that with some version of "Jesus Christ!"
