Man. If you've read the books, this first 5 minutes is solid spoiler. That is, all the stuff it gives as the intro is all stuff you had to figure out slowly, and with great joy in the book. I'm not saying it won't be a really good movie, but it doesn't seem like it can be anything like the experience of the book, and the book was incredibly wonderful.

HAH, Apparently the villain of the movie is a woman named Marisa Coulter. She must be the most insane, bigoted, repugnant bitch ever.

I never heard of the book and the movie until the trailer.

The movie and book have a lot of Catholics upset. The author is an athiest, and his portrayal of religion and central church in the book is rather negative.

Oxdottir: Bummer. Didn't they also complain about Harry Potter movies too? I wasn't crazy about it, but I enjoyed the special effects.

The key difference between Compass and Potter is that Rowling has, as far as we know, written an amusing book for its own sake.

Pullman, Compass author, is another kind of author altogether.

While the "anti-Church" thing as described in the quoted article I'm going to share with you doesn't really mean I'll skip a movie if it's amusing, I heard it got 1 star out of 5 in some reviews, so I'm going to instead avoid it because of 'teh suck.'

Aside from highlighting the anti-religious propaganda, the third paragraph is also useful because it explains what the heck is going on in this clip.

The movie has been described as "atheism for kids"
and is based on the first book of a trilogy entitled "His Dark
Materials" that was written by Phillip Pullman. Pullman is a militant
atheist and secular humanist who despises C. S. Lewis and the
"Chronicles of Narnia". His motivation for writing this trilogy was
specifically to counteract Lewis' symbolisms of Christ that are
portrayed in the Narnia series.

Clearly, Pullman's main objective is to bash Christianity and promote
atheism. Pullman left little doubt about his intentions when he said
in a 2003 interview that "my books are about killing God." He has
even stated that he wants to "kill God in the minds of children". It
has been said of Pullman that he is "the writer the atheists would be
praying for, if atheists prayed."
* BR>While "The Golden Compass" movie itself may seem mild and
innocent, the books are a much different story. In the trilogy, a
young streetwise girl becomes enmeshed in an epic struggle to
ultimately defeat the oppressive forces of a senile God. Another
character, an ex-nun, describes Christianity as "a very powerful and
convincing mistake." In the final book, characters representing Adam
and Eve eventually kill God, who at times is called YAHWEH. Each book
in the trilogy gets progressively worse regarding Pullman's hatred of
Jesus Christ.

Just finished reading the Golden Compass. It was pretty good, and I would have really loved it as a 12 year old. Don't think it would have done much to shake my catholicism. As a 12 year old, you just don't think about those things. Loved the Narnia series too as a 12 year old, and it did nothing to strengthen my catholicism.

Krupo, avoid the movie for any reasons whatsoever, but honestly, the book is good. I think Catholics objecting to the book, and especially the watered-down movie, are nutty ont he same order as the Muslims who objected to Salman Rushdie. I don't mean to pick on Islam: we can find plenty of other religion-based objection to art.
