• Its ok
  This was an enchanting story with great CGI. Acting was well done as well. Just took a bit of time to develop and when it got interesting it ended... I'd compare this to Chronicles of Narnia and Stardust
  

• Safe movie --avoids main issues
  None of the quasi scientific aspects of the book makes it into the movie. Character development, poor in the books, is of course worse in the movie. But most significant in comparison between the book and film is the avoidance entirely of who the Magisterium represents and so who the war is really against.

• Can negative reviews kill what could have been a fantastic series?
  Unfortunately, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials never gained the
  fame and mass following of JKR's Harry Potter. But his series was one

  and welcome reminder of how wonderful the books were.
  Unfortunately, we marketed the movie all wrong in the US, and labeling
  the series as the "anti-Narnia chronicles" did not help boost its
  popularity among the audience here, which reveres CS Lewis's creation. more info

• Um, somebody forgot to finish the movie...
  I read His Dark Materials Trilogy (The Golden Compass; The Subtle Knife; The Amber Spyglass) (suffered through it to be more accurate). Then I watched the Golden Compass. I was grateful that it left out a lot of the banalities of the book, but then the movie ended with about a third to a quarter of book left to go.
  I saw the credits start to roll and I thought "Huh! Where's the rest of the story? WTF?"
  Other than that, I felt the movie represented the book very well. If only they had finished it.
