There was a pretty good movie series made previously that covered (I think) the first four books. I haven't seen seen any of them for probably 30 years but I enjoyed them then!
Given the not just anti faith bend of the books but hte utterly GLEEFULLY IGNORANT portrayal of those with faith?
I can get being irritated, but guys. let it go. the more you scream the more people will flock to it out of spite.
I'm christian. I enjoyed the books.... and honestly find the whole thing to be a wonderfully... Gnostic take on things. theDemiurge took over, somehow grew old, and is now usurped by his regent.
More fundamentally, (1) the writer/director had no experience directing a big-budget film, and (2) the studio, which had just produced LOTR, wanted another LOTR-sized franchise and kept interfering -- and in order to finance the movie they had sold the overseas rights, so when the movie made most its money overseas they didn't benefit from it.
