Did any christians complaing about The Golden Compass go and see Beowulf this weekend?

I saw it. It was pretty good. Kind of had to get use to that computer generated look. But man was that movie incredibly violent. The blood was actually dripping at you in 3D, lol.


There was also some anti religious statements and the whole crossover issue to christianity.





So I was wondering how anyone can make a big deal over a movie like the Golden Compass if they go and see a movie like Beowulf.


(there was just a commercial on for beowulf)





The Golden Compass author might have been antireligious, but dont you think this movie will be just a fun fantasy movie aimed at a younger audience, compared to a movie like Beowulf where limbs are being ripped apart every other second and paganism is celebrated and religion kind of mocked?





Or are people that wont see a movie like Harry Potter and the Goldan Compass pretty consistent, so they probably wouldnt see Beowulf, either.





What would make you not go see a movie based on principle?

I have never seen any Christian complaining about the Golden Compass, I have no ideas what it is about, but one of my favorite actors is in it - Liam Neilson or however you spell it.





I'd like to see Beowulf because I like those kind of war movies, but I'm not much into the dragon stuff or Angelina Jolie but oh wells. Blood in 3D sounds good.





And Harry Potter, I don't dislike Harry Potter because of the witchcraft or whatever, I dislike it because I think it was written horribly. I got lost in the first book when a cat was really a professor sitting on a mailbox and turned into an owl and then talked to some biker guy who was teleported there. Its was just stupid.
Reply:ooops I picked the wrong one, lol





I meant to pick Marks, lol


oh well shao, you got the points even though you said Harry Potter was stupid





The books get better after the 1st one. Report It

Reply:I though that Harry Potter was stupid years ago, and my desire to never see it has nothing to do with my faith.





Did my religious beliefs stop me from watching "The Terminator" a few weeks ago? People who worry about this need a better grip on reality.
Reply:I am a very conservative Christian, and I like Harry Potter (their fun), My wife and I will go and see Golden Compass, and I am sure we will enjoy it.





We are steadfast in our faith so we need not worry about movies, stories, fiction, or even those of other faiths.
