MCT:May 12, 2008I love the story and this is a decent cinematic translation, though at times it felt like the story was on fast forward.

MCT:May 12, 2008I am thinking that this is most likely the weirdest and most improbable movie that I have ever watched. I am not really sure how this movie is supposed to be so good. I am missing what is so profound . I recommend that if you are going to watch this, have something else close by to work on at the same time. Perhaps some arts and crafts or filing :)

MCT:May 12, 2008I dont know what people are talking about with all this satan and killing god crap. I think you need to have a mental evaluation!

MCT:May 12, 2008This is about killing God? All I know is that Sam Elliot flys around in a boat being Sam Elliot and Ian McShane is the voice of a polar bear. These are different polar bears that drink Whiskey and fight. They don't sit around till Christmas drinking Coke.

Okay, I hated the fact that it ended and I still wanted to see more. I guess I have to wait for part two.

Lame movie. Too much fantasy, to the point i could not enjoy the movie. I do like the polar bear scene though, because of it effects. I do not recommend it for anyone, unless your into EXTREAME fantasy.

Compared to the book atrocious - linear, lacking in scope, dire script. Amazingly i thought it was saved by the talented cast and wonderful effects. Hope a director's cut is imminent and that chris weitz doesn't direct the sequels as his script was flat and relied way to heavy on exposition. warner bros (new line ain't around no more) should try an actual director as opposed to a guy who made two decent films; american pie and about a boy. i'm sure he's nice guy but i thought he did an inadequate job at adapting it

For anyone who did NOT read the books and have made claims that the series is "athiest" this book is children's literature. This is theologically contreversial but not athiest. This movie is entertainment. People need to see that they can beleive what they want. God has a portrayel in this series but it is never negative. Read ALL 3 books and your fears will be put to rest.

its a nice movie i'd love it..but while im watching it, i expecting more adventures esp. the fight scene of the polar bear..but it has a fantastic special effects, great casting and acting, hope the next movie will be more spectacular, more adventures and fight scenes...but all in all "two thumbs up"

I thankfully went to this movie for FREE and I still wanted my money back.
Besides the movie feeling like a long movie, it's only 1 and a half hours but it felt like it was dragging on forever...
The acting was ok but the blatent religion bashing got in the way of the story itself and actually left for little to be desired for this movie.
the only thing worth watching in this movie is the polorbear fight where the one bear gets his jaw ripped off.
so over all I would say wait for tv to watch this flick because unless you see it for free I would spend your $6 at the wal-mart bargin bin to buy a different crappy movie thats better then this drek.posted 131 days ago -

the books don't just make people atheist, they aim to make people question their faith, the only thing that would be sick would be to stop children educative works of literature that aide the development of the child's religious beliefs. The reason the catholic church boards have such a problem with this film is that the books question the authority of god, and as you may have seen in the film, the Magisterium is supposed to represent the church, which is shown as repressive. The whole point of the books is to help people open their eyes, plus it's a beautiful story, I hope the next 2 films will be better than this one though, it was crammed into 2 hours and many of the important parts of the book were missed out, and information was changed for no reason... anyway, do read the books, your faith should be stronger if you're worrying that this will brainwash people...
