The Golden Compass

 

The story of Lyra and her quest to prevent freedom of choice being stolen from mankind brings together all the elements of an adventure, a quest of epic proportions with true friendship at its heart

Amazon Price: (as of 07/26/2008)

This is a stunning book, gripping from the start. Philip Pullman is a true wordsmith who writes in an eloquent style. The story grabs you by the throat and takes you to worlds and universes so like our own - and yet so different. The adventure of Lyra and Pantaleimon as they fight for the things they love and believe in is a quest equal to that of Arthur and his knights.

Go ahead, disagree. I dare you. 

The Golden Compass is the best movie ever.

The Golden Compass IS the best.

Should be a Hit! Good adaptation and fantastic special effects
I enjoyed this picture and the controversy is not warranted.

The best movie ever - no, but a bold attempt to dramatise a complex story

Wrong! It's the worst!

Sergeantrom says:

It is the most boring movie of all time. I almost fell asleep let alone keep my head from dangling. The fake accents made it even worse.

MeganCasey says:

The book was impressive, wrestling with incredible complexities and facing religion head on. The movie really let me down though. It tried so hard to be eye candy that it forgot to be intelligent. Or, it should have had the guts to be 3 hours long, instead of forsaking the best moments and concepts.

I'm not Catholic, but why can't a Catholic be a free thinker? And vice versa

The books on which the film is based take a stance which opposes religion - but NOT faith so it is a moot point
