Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Комарова, Ларионова 11 класс, Русское слово: Writing: Film review
A What makes a good film? Work in pairs. Put these things in order of importance.
a famous cast
the special effects
the acting
the costumes
the directing
the plot
the scenery
the musical score
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.

J. Sample review

The Golden Compass is one of the most disappointing films I have ever seen. I was really excited to watch it because the book is one of my favourites, but the film did not live up to my expectations.

The story is about Lyra, an orphan who goes on a dangerous journey to rescue her friend and solve a mystery. The plot sounds exciting, but the film feels confusing and rushed.

The cast is impressive, but the acting is not convincing enough. Some characters are hard to believe, and the special effects, although astonishing, cannot save the film.

On the positive side, the costumes are sumptuous and the music is lovely. However, overall I would not recommend this film. If you loved the book, you are better off avoiding the movie.
