What’s really bad is that it celebrates an occult worldview and a selfish, stubborn and deceitful heroine who tries to kill her mother. That mostly comes in later books in the series. What’s bad about the movie is not its overt atheism. Even so, people probably will forget how dull the first two-thirds are, because the battle sequences and special effects are engaging. THE GOLDEN COMPASS is talky, didactic and badly written, with confusing character motivations. With her is the Golden Compass, a mystical device that tells Lyra what’s what and who’s who. She bands together with Gyptians, a Texan and an armored talking bear.
When her friend Roger is kidnapped, Lyra goes to rescue him. She discovers that henchmen from the Magisterium, an obtuse reference to the Catholic Church, are trying to poison her uncle and are kidnapping children to surgically separate them from their daemons. Separated from her parents, Lyra is a ward of Jordan College. The complex story of THE GOLDEN COMPASS focuses on a girl named Lyra who lives in a parallel world where every human soul is joined with an external animalistic companion called a daemon.
