Is there another movie the golden compass 2

The anti-religious aspect of the trilogy is very well disguised in this film. So, where the first couple hundred pages of the novel were difficult to get through-what with being unable to tell whom we should be rooting for (since all the characters seemed untrustworthy and/or dangerous), all the political blah, blah, blah, and the lack of life and joy in the story-the film version moved along more quickly. And unlike the novel, this world does have some beauty in it, added by both the stunning locations and the sense of a moral reality that the novels lacked. This movie gave the characters more soul than they ever had, though I can't decide whether this is an improvement or simply a lightly-sickening, sappy twist that doesn't belong in this story. Everyone is more likable, more human, and there is certainly more warmth (although not enough to explain why Lyra doesn't freeze death within five minutes, dressed the way that actress was dressed). There are frequent moments of tenderness between the characters that I never saw in the book. Coulter didn't decide she wanted nothing to do with her baby, the baby was taken away from her against her will. Here, Lord Asriel isn't feared by Lyra because of his anger and instability (though still admired for his power), he's a kind, brave, father. Gone is the harsh, brutal, ugly world where Lord Asriel displays a severed head to the scholars, where Lyra has turned lying into a proud art form, or Iorek has to be talked out of biting someone's head off. 'A murderer was a worthy companion' because he had proved himself to be strong, able to overcome others. Gone is the wildness, the almost animal-like portrayal of characters that have no moral anchor, where person after person is praised for his (or her) power, not his virtue where, as an example, Lyra, the main character, is suspicious of a boy she meets until she's told he's a murderer. Just thought it would be a good idea for someone who's seen the movie to throw in their $0.02.Д¬ompass Movie Doesn't Capture the Spirit of the Novel I also found it interesting that one of my agnostic friends thought the Magisterium (the church organization in the movie) was more like the Church of Scientology than the Catholic Church: The Magisterium teaches that a substance called Dust settles on people and leads them into wrong thought and action, which my friend likened to Scientology's idea of 'body thetans'. If you sit down and talk to your kids before and after seeing the movie and/or reading the books, it shouldn't affect them. I think kids are a bit smarter than we tend to give them credit for. And I would disagree that it encourages children to get involved in the occult. I can understand people not wanting to see it, and that's fine, but I think it can also be used to open up a discussion with children.explain to them how God and the Church as depicted in the books differ from what we as Christians believe and whatnot. I saw it last night with three friends of mine (one of them Christian, the other two agnostic).
