The Dude on the Right will usually justify in his head a reason or two for increasing his star rating for a movie, usually revolved around nudity or violence, but for his movie review of “The Golden Compass” The Dude actually talked his way into reducing a star rating. He wasn’t going to give the movie many stars to begin with, but he almost seemed more disappointed that the movie didn’t actually try to achieve “epic” status, instead just trying to leave people with a good feeling in under two hours. In the end, though, the loss of half a star came after finding out why Ice Bear nation wasn’t involved in the final battle.
