GameAngel64 I saw it. I was fairly disappointed in it myself, having read the book not long prior to seeing the movie. I saw it again a second time, though, because my boyfriend wanted to go and I felt more forgiving towards it that time. Maybe it's more suitable for people who haven't read the novels, no?

Well, my current crush apparently saw it and LOVED it. But he is kind of a dork so I don't know if I trust his judgment in whether the movie is actually entertaining.
For the record, he said he's never even heard of the books, though (nor, interestingly enough, the controversy. But he's in the army... maybe he just has more pressing worries than that. xd )

I wasn't really bothered by the anti Christian ideas in the books; after all I know whom I believe in and Pullman has the right to have his own beliefs too.
I think Pullman really has the ability to draw the reader into the story and made them read it with passion and expectations.
I found specially the first book really good, very thrilling and powerful in emotions.
The second was not so great, but still good. Then I was very curious to read the third one, and I really enjoyed some passages. Those mulefa creatures were lovely. And I was very thrilled to know how it all would be going to develop. But then in the end... I was rather disappointed. I'm not sure what I expected, but I was like "so this is all?" I was probably waiting for some kind of more profound explanation of all the mysteries around the dust and such... I'm not sure why I wasn't satisfied by the end, but I just wasn't.
Also I didn't understand this: Obviously the world from which Lyra is coming is not the ours, as we don't have this dust and animal shaped daemons (ours is rather the world from which Will comes, right?), yet the religious history of that world is the same as in ours, and they also have the Catholic church, the talked in some parts of the book about Moses and other people from the Bible... I just don't understand why a world that is a different one from ours would have exactly the same religious history.

i have read the books and watched the movie so i can offer some insight into that
apperantly all of the worlds are connected and that our world and lyras worlds are more so except for the fact that some events in there history occured diffrently than ours
also no the world in wich will comes from is not our world................the world in which lyra meets the scientest is our world
