Why do so many people have such an issue with this movie? Ok, I suppose if you really get down to the nitty gritty of it, yes, I can see how people can take it and twist it to say that they are killing God for our children......but you can do the same with just about every Fantsy film EVER made! Look at Star Wars for instance.....Darth Vader, The Emperor, if you want to get technical, it parallels Hitler, so why hasn't anyone really stepped up to complain about George Lucas....if you want to push it further, Gene Roddenbury must be burning in hell....lol...I mean if you look at that futuristic view, it churns around all sorts of contoversal issues from religion all the way down to genetic manuipulation. The Golden Compass is an amazing piece of visual FICTION. ITS A STORY folks. And if I may say a very well put together film. The cinematics are breath taking, and the animation is absolutely flawless. the story is strong, and every role is well acted. I took my 7 year old to see it, and he didn't move for 2 1/4 hours! If you have children, you know what type of accomplishment that is!! It absolutely gripped him and he adored it! For it to be banned by the the higher ups because they are afraid of change and people having thier own personal views of God and man and everything in between! I found it outrageous that a country who says they are the "Land of the Free", ought to be run by people who BELIEVE it. I live in Canada, I would watch this movie a thousand times....so in short, if you can get a chance to see this film watch it! Don't read any garbage about religion into it, its a fantasy story, and I wager Peter Jackson will have competetion with the new Trilogy...yes its a Trilogy, so, for all you who are against it....get ready to vent again when they release parts 2 and three. It is as powerful and The Lord of the Rings (once again a story about one supreme bad guy who controls everyone with a ring......hmmm seems like that would offend alot of people don't ya think?) So to those of you who oppose this film, I feel sorry for your narrow minded views, for those who are willing to brave it and watch this amazing film, you won't be sorry. Enjoy it!!
