The Golden Compass is the story of a young girl who is following her "destiny" and runs into many problems along the way. As expected, the movie received terrible reviews, scoring a 2.8 out of 5. Comments like "Just plain bad", and "The holiday equivalent to a lump of coal," flooded the user review section of Autin360.com. According to the Austin-American Statesman, "The film tried transparently to replicate the cash-box fomula, 'The Lord of the Rings,' but it was so cleary not up to the task." In the eyes of many Christians, the movie was not good because it appeared that it was attempting to bash their religion.
