I did see it. Although, I was surprised that it wasn't as "Pro-Atheism" as the zealots made it seem. All I heard on the news was how Theists were protesting it, saying "it tells us to kill God!" I went with high hopes of seeing a huge parody of the evils of religion, but left feeling like I'd just watch another kids film. I seriously think the zealots overreacted to that one. Anyway, the film was alright. It had the usual really-good-book-to-film problem of feeling like too much information was crammed into to little time. I've thought about reading the books, but usually if I don't like the film, I'm not too inclined to read the books. But if you say they are really that good, I may give them another chance.
Well I read all three last year and I loved them. What got on my nerves was how everyone was told to boycott the movie and there wasn't even anything really religious in it! I don't even think the book had gotten to the "kill god" part... pretty sure that came in with the second book. idk, it pissed me off that people could try to get you to hate a movie that wasn't even going to cause any harm to their self-righteousness but if you say you don't want to see a religious movie you must have been spawned by the devil... grrr.
