wolven7It was a very good movie. Pacing was faster, and there were some transition scenes that I didn't think needed to be there, but over all, the good far outweighed the bad.
To the haters: It was the "Magisterium" rather than that reality's Church. If you cannot see that they represent the same repression, the same blind dogmatic authority, then you need to take another literature class, and be sure to have the concepts of allusion, metaphor, and analogy explained to you, a few times until you get it right.
See the movie, enjoy it, then go read the books and enjoy them more. If you see the movie, the quality of the second two will most likely be greatly improved, even upon what was a wonderful film.
