Read More i guess the religious part of this movie many object is that they make witches and demons good things for children to like. that been said, the movie itself was rather disjointed and very hard to follow, christopher lee was wasted for about 5 minutes, all in all we are for sure not going to watch the sequels.

Having said that, the visual effects are stunningly beautiful and the plot is complicated but interesting.
As for the religious issue, the movie's idea of n animal "demon companion" that reflects the person soul -- is a deceptive title because what's called "a demon" is really just a "totem" or animal symbol. The author really went out of his way to insult those with Judeo-Christian sensibilities by calling a totem, "a demon" and it really was unnecessary.
Is "The Golden Compass" are real threat to a child soul? Probably not, it's not a good enough film for that -- I'd worry more about it scaring them than anything else.
I did leave feeling a bit ripped off, as the story doesn't just "continue" into the next sequel, it leaves what should have been the ending of this film for the sequel. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

They seemed to fit the person they were with. I really enjoy Sam Elliott in Movies He has a very interesting Voice. Makes his Character stand out even more. The voice of the Polar Bear..main character was very interesting also. It fit the character very well. Will add to my collection also. It seems like it was left open for a 2nd movie.

Read More I think that these people who say they are trying to kill god must have watched a different movie or never watched it at all! Maybe the writer is an atheist but this movie has absulutly nothing to do with killing god or anything like it. It is just another run of the mill fantasy movie. I think some rumers must have got started becouse of the writers views and no one gathered their own opinion. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
