Yes. :P
It wasn't that I hated it, but they made it into a kid's movie and watered out important parts to the story. It wasn't dark enough, not really. The director of The Golden Compass, Chris Weitz, says he regrets the film. The reason I think was that they caved into religious groups against the books, because of their blasphemy, and they made it less obvious. But I don't see how they were planning to continue with the series if that was an issue, because His Dark Materials is blasphemous. That's half the point! The series is on HBO, but I don't have HBO right now. Though, you know, HBO offers a free month if you haven't had it before. I can tell you where you can watch if for free if you want, I can tell you how to watch it... somewhere else. This series is really good. It is very true to the books. It doesn't hide the fact that Lyra lives in a world controlled by a corrupt religious group, who controls people lives, who try to censor academics or anyone who challenges their ideology.
