Title: Not killing God- YET! (but it's comming)
Review: The movie is faithful to the book- In this movie, as in the first book, there is no talk of killing god but it is coming in the second book! The movie is prettily made. My only concern for children, is the possible sequel. The series IS about killing god, it is actually explicitly stated in the books- those who deny it are staring at white and calling it black. You do not have to be a religious zealot to see it you just need half a brain. The anti religion whiff is already in this one, but very mild. If you yourself hate god this is definitely a series for you. If you don't, you can still enjoy the special effects. As long as you are a thinking adult, aware of the antireligious undercurrents and the God hating agenda (which Pullman admits freely) you can definitely use this movie to promote thinking. For young unsophisticated children who are yet incapable of multidimensional thought, the book is cunning brainwashing; this movie is just a little dip.
Is the review positive or negative?
