Advantages: Friendly, great campus and facilities Disadvantages: Not much in town
First of all, one question for many people when they hear you say that you're going to Loughborough University is 'Where's that!' Loughborough is situated in the county of Leicestershire, and is a short train ride away from Nottingham, Leicester and Derby. it is a small market town, known for the University.
In terms of the town, Loughborough is fairly small, and doesn't have much to offer in terms of shops. There are a few nationwide shops such as Top Shop and New Look, but not any where near the amount of shops that reside in Leicester or Nottingham. Being a student, I've found this quite useful, as it doesn't encourage you to go spending money that you haven't got on clothes, as there isn't really anywhere to shop!
There are a few clubs in Loughborough town; Echoes, Wild, Rain and Discotheque. These are all fairly small, and so ...
Advantages: Daniel Craig Disadvantages: Boring shallow characters
souls are called daemons and these walk beside them in the form of animals. Children's daemons can shape shift till they find their true form adults cannot. The gobblers are an unknown entity (the film's bad guys) that are kidnapping children, for what reason we don't know why until later in the film. Lyra's friend Roger gets taken by these which lead Lyra on a quest to find him she is given the golden compass to help her . The other thing I found weird about this film is that the girl Lyra is supposed to be the chosen one but not much is really said about this so it seems to make no impact on you as an audience.
One of the villains - Nicole Kidman Mrs Coulter is an evil woman whom we find out is Lyra's mother , usually I am a fan of Kidman ,however I personally found her performance weak and character shallow in this film. Fans of Daniel ...
Advantages: cinematography is spectacular Disadvantages: The script is flawed
of wondrous creatures some good who wish her well and offer their help, others not so good who are intent on hindering her on her quest. With the help of a golden compass only a select few are able to read to guide her on her way Lyra sets off on the adventure of a life time.

Acting/Characters
*************
Dakota Blue Richards - Lyra
As you watch Dakota on screen, you forget she was only 12 years old at the time of filming, and you certainly see no signs of this being her very first acting job. She commands the viewer's attention with her performance and she challenges us to feel her struggles and triumphs as she experiences them. It is a testament to her talent that, when sharing camera time with the likes of Sam Elliot or in fact Nicole Kidman, she steals the focus. I look forward to seeing more from this bright star
Nicole Kidman ...
