You know what? I still like The Golden Compass... not sure why everyone was down on it.

I thought it was a perfectly acceptable fantasy film.

Responses:

Because it ate all the dicks, contained the most boring overexplanation of backstory ever, and never didn't suck. - TFox Jan 3, 16:36 3
- And yet it kicked Transformers ass for the FX Oscar... go figure. :) -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 16:44 2
  - Woohoo, it had some boring talking animals who were far more interesting than a single human in the film. -- nm - TFox Jan 3, 16:46 1
    - I thought it was as good or better than the first two Harry Potters in fact. -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 16:57
Cause it was Christian? -- nm - lileve Jan 3, 16:25 9
- the opposite -- nm - Roger More Jan 3, 16:26 8
  - people were down on it because it wasn't christian enough? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 3, 16:29 7
    - (spoils) - Roger More Jan 3, 16:34 1
      - And yet the lead villain is Catholic in real life. -- nm - lileve Jan 3, 16:51
    - The books had anti-God undercurrents... I don't think they were in the movie. -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 16:31 4
      - hrm. I'd only ever heard the series held up as a pro-christian one. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 3, 16:36 3
        
        Um... no, quite the opposite. If Christians were reading it, it was to keep an eye on 'the devil" :) -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 16:43
        
        the Narnia books by CS Lewis certainly -- nm - Roger More Jan 3, 16:40 1
        
        oh, crap, that's w hat I did. I mixed up Golden Compass with Prince Caspian. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 3, 17:35
I enjoyed it on DVD and wouldn't mind a sequel but probably wouldn't see it again - Roger More Jan 3, 16:24
