I doesn't in the first two books, but in the third I wanted to smack my head near the end. The views weren't what bothered me, though. I was the fact that so many pointless things happened. I mean, if we found out in book two no one could stay out of their world for too long or however it was worded it'd make more sense than introducing in in AS. Because it just seemed like Pullman threw that in to make a bittersweet ending.

Orginal, though? I've seen countless books that borrow from or rip-off Paradise Lost. Though his are some of the more orginal of that nature, I couldn't help rolling my eyes a bit. But what really got me was that Lyra was never really tempted in a big way. The ending was cheap. The climax of the first two built you up so much it just fell flat.

I guess I might be overanalyzing little but I'm just mad some of my favorite books got ruined by the ending.

Actually, IMDB has a page for the Amulet of Samarkand. But it is only available with IMDB pro, so perhaps they got it from there.

There's nothing confirmed, though.

2 years is still an eternity. And, I'm scared it's going to be horrible. Yep. Probably won't follow the book to well. Look at Eragon. But maybe... if the director acctualy READS the books...

Eragorn was beyond horrible. They alienated even their half wit book fans. Rest assured that it won't happen again.

Paolini says he enjoyed it, though...

In fairness, his marketing people would have flayed him if he'd said he didn't.

And he assures us that Eldest will get it's own film too.

It's better PR if you don't associate with a horrible movie. And have you seen the way people are defending the thing? Highest grossing movie with a dragon as it's lead!

Poalini hated it. He had to. And, they've screwed up the plotline for Eldest movie.
