That may make me want to see it now.
I read the books (the first one way superior to the other two in my opinion), then read rather cold critics and didn't go to watch the movie.

But Christian complaints against it? I must pay my entry fee!

Like a lot of these book-to-movie attempts, it was a mere highlight film to the book. The mechanics of it all, sets and other magic stuff, were incredible...but it came across as sterile and rushed. But I remember hoping to see the next installment.

What the Xians are complaining about, I can't imagine. But I agree. I should buy the DVD just to spite the one-male-god whiners.

The anti-Christian message is more obvious in the later books.

But these are probably the same Christians who think Harry Potter is about the occult because there are wizards. So they're probably just annoyed that it's not a film about men in beards looking furrowed-browed and smitey.
