Ever feel that The Golden Compass was too watered down on the religious aspects Or too short on running time Or even not violent enough Not enough character developement Want to see what should have been the finlae on the big screen Would you have rathered Compass was more faithful Pining for a closer adaption to the books There's only one chance. New Line are soon to decide the fate of this trilogy (what had the potential to do so well). Many of the fans were disappointed and know that with a less hacked and butchered adaption, it could have been more of a hit. If you would like to see The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass more faithful to the books then we have to convince New Line to greenlight them. Their original plan was to take out anything from Compass that would prevent it from being a hit and then make the sequels more faithful. So no, they did not remove them completely. These elements would have been shown in the next two. So come on! We have to do our best to convince New Line!
I was rereading the books again last night and honestly the way they just hacked up the pacing in that first movie still makes my head spin. I have been trying to get a straight answer out of anyone at the studio but it is like screaming into a deep dark void where nobody is interested in hearing about the Subtle Knife despite how much potential is just sitting there waiting to happen.

I really thought this might just vanish into the ether but look at how many people actually care about Lyra and Will getting the proper ending they deserve. It is wild seeing this momentum build up because honestly I was worried the studio had already moved on and forgotten about our books entirely.

The first movie was such a let down compared to the books. They need to try again and actually show the real ending.

Seriously, the books are way better. Just follow the source material instead of trying to cut stuff to make it a generic blockbuster. It failed because it wasn't the book.

The studio messed up the first one so bad. Just give us the rest of the trilogy already, the books are perfect as they are.
