THE GOLDEN COMPASS Gets Mostly Bad Reviews

The controversial new film that some in the Christian community claim has been promoting an atheist message, THE GOLDEN COMPASS, has been getting mostly bad reviews from critics according to the poll of 138 critics over at ROTTEN TOMATOES, an excellent film review website. So far 79 of the reviews for the film have been labeled as "rotten" by ROTTEN TOMATOES, and just 59 positive.

In addition some film critics continue to complain about how movie promoters will misuse their quotes to make it seem as though they are giving good reviews to films that they clearly are not. Larry King, for example, complained that one time he found a film so confusing, that he claimed that you would have to see it twice in order to make any sense of it. One film promotion company misused the Larry King quote, printing, "See it twice"---Larry King, as a misleading promotion for the film, while Larry King obviously did not like the film or want moviegoers to waste their money seeing the film.
