Christian groups slam Golden Compass

Hey, I thought the buzz on this move was dudsville. Now I'm thinking it might not be so bad.....

I'll have to look at it now.

Old news. And not surprising considering they already hate the books.

Not Afraid · 12-03-2007, 09:01 PM

Ho hum. The Christians hate something again.

The film still looks lame to me. I like Nicole Kidman, but I'm tired of her faux ice princess schtick. Daniel Craig's only in it for a second. I hear the bear fight is good. But I can't even manage enough interest in this to Netflix it down the line ... and even Christian uproar does nothing.

I didn't mind the first book, but the anti religion slant got really heavy handed in the last two. It was too much for me. I'm not really interested in going to see the film.

I think it's a contrived controversy started by the producers to create some free press for a film that's getting not-so-good reviews.
But that's just me.

Is it a film about Mormons?

Not Afraid · 12-03-2007, 09:39 PM

I didn't get that the books were anti religion, but then I didn't get that the Narnia series was religious. Apparently, I'm not very bright. But, it's a good thing because I have enjoyed both the Narnia series as well as His Dark Materials series.

I saw it tonight.

I'm reviewing it so I'm embargoed but I expect I'll be receiving letters from the same people who thought I wasn't hard enough on communism in my review of Miracle.
