His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass - Official Teaser

I really don't understand why so many people say it isn't like the book--it IS! They switched the order of two events (bolvangar and svalbard) and changed the ending (or rather, ended it before the real ending), but otherwise it is REALLY faithful to the story. Considering how badly some movies butcher the books they're based upon, I wouldn't really consider this a disgrace. Actually, I thought it was quite good. Harry Potter was much worse, in my opinion.

eragon had to be the worse film adaption of all time in my opinon :/

the film was quite good but nowhare near as good as the book but at least kate bush made a song for it :D shes a legend :P

I love the book series and they casted it perfectly in my opinion, daniel craig and nicole kidman were perfect for their charachters. However, the special effects of the daemons aren't all that great and the story it's self doesn't match the story of the book. Go read the book before you watch the movie, its much better anyway

I agree. What Tthe producers did to The Northern Lights (yes, that is what it is really called) was disgusting. Pray that sequels are not made.

steampunk, witches, pirates, polar bears? wtf?

I have never read the book and I had never heard of the golden compass until they came up with the movie but ,I found it extremely boring ,I was about to leave the theater where this movie was being exhibit because I couldn't bear watching it anymore. How disapointing it was for me the ending was rubbish I think everyone was expecting something better from the ending.

i agree, this is is like the worst adaptation fantasy trilogy ever! my cousin, dad, and brother say its so stupid, don't understand why people like it so much, and it was a flop. its such an embarrassing,lame, and boring as hell movie.

The books were good. Don't expect them to make either of the other two books into movies tough. Waay waay to taboo.
They did a fair job on this movie though; of course not as good as the book but still good.
