The kids and I will wait until the second week to see it.

Don’t like waiting in long lines and we like to get good seats.

I don’t think we’ll grow horns or tails while viewing the movie.

Again the best message to these film is no reaction just dont go. Producers only care about box office and merchandising, if you see a bunch of golden compass merchandise at the 99 cent store in july you will know it died a gruesome death.

He’s anti C.S. Lewis, my favorite author so nope, not going to go.

Doesn't really sound like a major assault on Christianity, more like an intellectual exercise which is not going to work out as a movie.

If it does flop, it will be interesting to see if some of the
evangelical atheists assert it was because the movie didn't
stay fully faithful to the atheist themes of the book.

Is "The Golden Compass" a sinister piece of anti-religious propaganda,
designed to convert impressionable young viewers into atheist heathens?


That...and more, I suspect.
It's a Trojan Horse, sufficiently sanitized in the hopes the
boxoffice will be large enough to green-light a film of the next
book in Pullman's trilogy.

It will be interesting if this will be a fat "Cash Cow" for succeeding
Pullman-based films with the atheism amped up more and more...
or if it will be a haggard, moribund steer that can
"hardly make it out of the gate".

The left-wing Guardian gave it 4 stars, so you know it is liberal drivel.

I read the total budget for this anti-Christian propaganda is at $205 million.

He is against forcing people to believe what you believe, and against accepting something you are told without thinking about it.

There. The director must not be a liberal, progressive, or commie, or democrat. Sorry for the repetition./s

The young crowd will be awed by the special effects and won't even think anything about the underlying message. If there is enough action, no one will give any attention to the dialog. Much ado about nothing.

I don’t get why they invest money in projects like this.I wouldn’t if I was an investor.It is limping before it even comes out.

The author completely failed in his efforts to subvert Christianity in the book - good writer, bad athiest? It’s nothing but a fantasy. We’re seeing the movie this afternoon.

All religious politics aside, Daniel Craig has a lot of audience goodwill coming off “Casino Royale.” I hope he, at least, gets some good notices out of this.

He’s making a list and checking it twice....
Question is does he live in a good place... a bad place... or at the north pole.

FWIW, Nicole Kidman hasn’t been in a hit in forever. She might just be box office poison (like her ex, Tommy).

Leftists in the media create movies and TV programs to promote an agenda. They don’t make movies and TV programs for entertainment, and then throw in a few lines to promote their biases.
The entertainment is to get the audience to watch it, and to keep watching it, and to pay little attention to the propaganda, while it gets into the subconcious mind and works its evil.
Examples of this are the evil characters who always just happen to be wearing a cross around their neck. Or the crucifixes in the background in the home of the evil character.
