Roger Ebert gave this movie 4 stars, and that is enough for me. I'm going to see it tonight after the gym, I think.

Frankly, the Christians who are protesting this movie are being idiots considering the movie takes out the heavy-handedness of the books (I mean, why not SEE a movie first, THEN protest it). Though of course, some of those people say "OMG if kids like the movie, then they'll read the book, and then they'll get these naughty naughty ideas!".

I mean, god forbid someone actually hear different viewpoints or think for themselves. I believe that people who question their religion and then come to similar conclusions of their religion (or spiritual beliefs) come out that much stronger in their faith. How is it that Mother Theresa questions her belief in God, making her a stronger person of faith in the eyes of the Church, and yet when a child hears a viewpoint that questions the belief in God or organized religion, it is evil?

Yes, yes, I know, Mother Theresa is held to a different standard because.... because.... ummm....

In an odd way, the Christian groups are PROVING the point in the books regarding the evils of organized religion. Dumb, dumb, dumb. The author of the books can just point to them and say, "see! This is EXACTLY what I mean."
