Well I do not know anything about the Golden Compass books or the author, but I have seen the previwes for the movie and think it looks good and want to see it, but I have recently heard of some controversy that has emerged around the movie and the books.
Well it prpobably is not a big surprsie who it is that have begun the controversy, of course, certain Christain groups.
Apperently the author of the Golden Compass is an athiest and some of his views are expressed within his writing, though the movie apperently really down plays that part of it, certain people beleive that after seeing the movie unknowing parents will then go out and buy the books for thier childern, and then of course, the childern will become corrupted and thier souls endangerd.
Though of course they do not any anything wrong with Lewis Carollol and his Chronicles of Narnia and the fact that those books are aimed at childern, and have clear strong religious messages contained within.
Though personaly when it comes down to it, I do not think it will matter one bit to a child, I remember when I was a child I loved The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, and never once as a child did it occur to me, this story is an analogy for Christ, and it certiantly has not turned me into a Christian, so I do not think after reading The Golden Compass, there is going to be a surge of childern becoming atheists.

Strong faith, huh? I mean, a movie can unsettle 'em that way...
