Didn't think it was great. Underdeveloped characters and everything was too easy for the main character - not enough tension or stress to make it compelling for me or my 13 year old son. I walked away wanting to watch Lord of the Rings again. I do think that Pullman has an agenda. He may be an atheist but he is still very religious - atheism is his religion and he wants to convert people. The undercurrents of this were toned down in the movie but i think these elements will come the front if other movies are produced from the other books in his series. Pullman boldly states that the books are about killing God to be free from Him. i posted some links to related articles on a new blog for parents at the church where i work. www.launchnews.blogspot.com John I saw the movie.
