Commenting to take notes of movies that weren't ruined by useless sequels.
I wasn't really surprised it didn't get a sequel but I remember that "The golden compass" was made to have sequels from the get go and i think even ended with a cliffhanger, or maybe not. I juste remember feeling like the story was cut short. I didn't feel this with the Harry potter movies despite being another adaptation of a book, so they probably screwed up.
It's based on the first book of a trilogy, the series is called His Dark Materials, and was a fucking travesty of a film adaptation. I'm honestly glad they didn't go forward with the rest, I doubt they would have handled the other two any better.
I can't speak on Amazons attempt, haven't gotten around to it yet, but can recommend the books. They're a good read.
The books were so good! My whole family plowed through them. Movie/tv had none of the......page turning excitement of Philip Pullman's books.
