Forum : The Golden Compass (there will be no sequel)
2008-01-09 01:01:00 12-02-2007(>49 posts)First comment from this forum :"I went with my daughter to a sneak preview showing of the Golden Compass . The theater was sold out. To put it quite simply, the movie did not have an ending. The audience sat there in stunned silence as the movie simply ended. I did not hear a single positive comment about the film as we left the theater. We actually felt "ripped-off" as we left the theater. I was hoping that there would be an ending that would explain what happened in the previous, laborious 1 hour and 45 minutes. It was nothing more than boring confusion. While the producers are banking on the fact that people will flock to see the sequel, I don't see this as a likely possibility. People have to like the first movie before they will see a sequel. If the sequel has already been shot, I would suggest that it will go direct to DVD and bypass the theaters. This movie, and toys based upon it, are destined for the $1 bargain bin."see this forum at : http://ww... More About: Forum , The Golden Compass , Sequel

Its understandable that the movie cant incorporate all the scenes from the book, but how can you not show the ending??? Incorporated in the Book or into the Movie, it leaves the reader pending, and wanting to know what happens when the bridge is crossed... Aside from the fact that the story seemed rushed, the character development in the movie was abysmal. The development of Lyra as a person, who moves on from being a child and finally an adult is one of the most crucial elements of the trilogy. In the film, Lyra fails to change into nothing more than what she started of as. I hope (if there is) the sequal proves me wrong."see this forum at : http://www.rottentomatoes.com/vine/showth read.php?t=602956 More About: Forum , Awful
Forum : I Love The Golden Compass
2008-01-09 00:52:00 12-09-2007 (>10 posts)First comment from this forum :"This is a fantastic movie.I think kids ages 12 and older will like it. The daemons are really cool (mine is a gibbon). It is a mysterious story, based on an oppressing 'magestirium', magic dust(atoms), and disappearing children. The magestirium represents the catholic church, who are furious at the movie. They lie, distort science, and steal your soul. The parallels to fantasy and reality are really awesome.The special effects in this movie are outstanding and breathtaking, really should be seen on the big screen. The story and ideas are original, have deeper meanings, intriguing and mysterious to the end.As far as having no ending, the story within does wrap 'part one' very well. It's not quite a cliffhanger as Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. What people are talking about is after the ending, they have a 'lead in' to part two. The book is a Trilogy.I have heard people rip the movie, they either have no imag... More About: Love , Forum , The Golden Compass , Golden , Compass

News : Pullman not promoting atheism in ‘Golden Compass’ (Nov. 2, 2007)
2008-01-06 19:46:00 Author on anti-Catholic criticism and how he imagined the epic worldTODAYupdated 1:22 p.m. ET Nov. 2, 2007“The Golden Compass” is the first in Philip Pullman’s “His Dark Materials” trilogy. In the first volume, Pullman invites readers into a world as convincing and thoroughly realized as Narnia, Earthsea or Redwall.

First, her fearsome uncle, Lord Asriel, appears with evidence of mystery and danger in the far North, including photographs of a mysterious celestial phenomenon called Dust and the dim outline of a city suspended in the Aurora Borealis that he suspects is part of an alternate universe. He leaves Lyra in the care of Mrs. Coulter, an enigmatic scholar and explorer who offers to give Lyra the attention her uncle has long refused her.Some eager readers sent in questions for Philip.

2008-01-06 19:20:00 Thursday, 29 November 2007The author of the book on which the new film The Golden Compass is based has hit back at critics who accuse him of peddling "candy-coated atheism". Phillip Pullman won the Whitbread prize for the third part of his trilogy Philip Pullman dismissed as "absolute rubbish" accusations by the US-based Catholic League that the film promotes atheism and denigrates Christianity.

Epic battle The film also stars James Bond actor Daniel Craig and is based on the first part of Mr Pullman's best-selling His Dark Materials children's trilogy.

Forum : Christians Boycott The Golden Compass
2007-12-07 10:30:00 First comment from this forum :6 Dec 2007 (140 posts)"Just wanted to warn those who didn't know:By now, you probably have already gone to the movies and noticed a huge banner for the latest fantasy movie being released on December 7th by the name of The Golden Compass starring Nicole Kidman. If it wasn’t the poster you saw, it was probably an advertisement on T.V. Before you decide on whether or not to take your kids to watch this movie, I just thought that I might give you a little bit of information about what inspired this movie and about the story itself.In the 1950’s, an Atheist turned Christian author by the name of C.S. Lewis, wrote The Chronicles of Narnia, a series of 7 books. All 7 books reflect Biblical stories and characters. C.S. Lewis wrote the series in order to spark the imagination of a younger reader to better understand important moments and characters in the Bible. He created a character named Aslan who was a lion that represented Jesus Christ in many ways. ... More About: Forum , Christians , Boycott

Forum : His Dark Materials - upcoming movie "The Golden Compass"
2007-12-06 13:48:00 First comment from this forum :12-12-2006(45 posts)"I didn't see a thread for this here, so I thought I'd kick it off.I'm just now reading this trilogy (I'm only halfway through the second book, use spoiler tags if need be, pretty please) and see that New Line has Chris Weitz directing a movie adaptation of the first book. It's filming now and is due out this time next year.1. I'm incredibly excited.2. But also dismayed as the rumor is that the movie execs are cutting the Spoiler anti-religious content out of the movie to pander to the family values crowd. the corruption of the church is (for me) perhaps the defining theme of the books. 3. Also dismaying is their choice of director: Chris Weitz. He hasn't really made a name for himself yet, so maybe he has this amazing visionary talent the world hasn't seen. But a dark fantasy film from the hands that brought us "American Pie" and "About a Boy?" Um....eek.4. Nicole Kidman as Mrs. Coulter = perfect.5. Daniel Craig a...

Article : Golden Compass Author Doesn't Care for Narnia, Lord of the Rings
2007-11-06 14:46:00 It won't reach theaters until December 7, but The Golden Compass -- which adapts the first installment in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy -- already has some people up in arms, and the author doesn't seem to mind one bit.Of course, Pullman is no stranger to controversy; his books have long been targeted as anti-Catholic by various media watchdog groups, and even though Compass director Chris Weitz took pains to whitewash the story's more overtly religious themes for the film, that hasn't prevented boycott threats from the Catholic league.Pullman made an appearance in New York last week, and MTV Movies was on hand to get his answers to questions about His Dark Materials and The Golden Compass. He didn't pull any punches in his responses:Pullman [described] how he finds the "Lord of the Rings" books trivial in their lack of asking big questions and doesn't find C.S. Lewis' answers to the big questions in the "Narnia" books satisfying.Daring to express a public opin... More About: Article , Care , Author , Lord of the Rings
