The furor from Christians about this movie is misplaced. Yes, the Magisterium could be thought to be the Roman Catholic Hierarchy, but equally and effortlessly it could be considered to be the Soviet or Chinese government. There is no display of theocratic activity, just some organization that wants to control minds and eliminate dangerous free will.
The uproar from the Archdiocese of the Catholic church is a bad case of nerves I think. To fit into the picture portrayed of the Magisterium, the Bishop of Central Wisconsin has told his flock not to watch the movie. Quod erat demonstrandum!
As for me, I am going to see it again. There's a lot of good cinematography in this movie and, because some yokel brought her one year old to the movie last night, I missed some of dialogue.
I would not recommend this movie for children under 8 or 9 because of some of the vivid fantasy violence. Roaring polar bears are quite vivid!
Why the "evil" character played by Nicole Kidman is named Ms. Coulter I cannot imagine!
