Dune and The Golden Compass deal with many complex and differing views about morality and social order

The movie simply looks abysmal. I think it?ll flop.

I agree with comparsion. I might read the book. I was a long time fan of LOTR. Heard about Dune the Movie I went and saw it. Thought it was OK but was underwhelmed. However I went ahead and read Dune the Book.

Needless to say I was very disappointed when I reviewed Dune the movie again and saw how much the director had butchered it.

Looks like Compass will be the same. Too complex to stuff into a few hours, regardless the anti-morality tale plot

Indeed. A flop.

If that is the case, then maybe God has delivered us by not having Peter Jackson direct this evil movie, since if anyone could have done this well, he has the technical skills.
