utter piece of ---- (since i cant type bad words), 7 February 2008
1/10
Author: englishmf from United States

the director (who also it seems, wrote the screenplay) should be drawn and quartered for his adaptation. He has completely killed the complexity of the the characters and their relationships to one another, re wrote key scenes and used characters out of their original context. I realize that this is something that needs to be done to shorten novels for run time, but the choices made were horrible.)

I read the three his his dark materials books before seeing the movie and was so angered afterward my girlfriend had to yell at me to shut up. How could a complete tool like this director take such amazing source material and turn it in to nonsensical rubbish? The movie needed to be longer, and could have been handled so much better. My only hope is that this douche does not helm the next two movies.
