the books are great and most of the casting is it's just Lyra sounds really fake and forced alot, she hasn't got much expression in her voice. i think the film is stil good tho.

I choose it because of the storyline,and the characters. Also because it is probably the best book after the Lord of the rings trilogy. Do read it. Every second you spent reading these books they will award you. Warm recomendations to everyone!

The Chronicles of Narnia is no where close to a stor such as this. Narnia is so poorly writtena and the plot line is so not original. But the Golden Compass book (book 1&2 at least) have the greatest storyline ever and it was very creative! I am a christian and the first 2 books have nothing bad in them. This moie was okay, but i hated the ending, they totally changed it. Well anyways those of u who have seen the movie, but not read the book, dont judge it!

I remember this movie....I saw it last year when it was in theatre....I loved it :P

Loved the books, but this movie completely killed them. Its almost ass though its been made too innocent and censored.. maybe not quite those words but it just didnt quite capture the mood of the books for me.. good casting tho

I apologize for submitting "I agree" prematurely. I meant to say "I agree with faninarnia...The Chronicles of Narnia is better than this." My opinion has nothing to do with any theological belief system. I just thought that the first Chronicles of Narnia movie had a LOT more charm and appeal than the first His Dark Materials movie. I thought The Golden Campus was an uninteresting, confusing mess. I did like the fighting polar bears and Lyra's daemon, though.

I agree.

the only reason there is still uncertanty about the making of the 2 sequels is simply because this movie floped at the USA box office, even though it did much better overseas... thats all
