based on the 1995 novel Northern Lights by Philip Pullman, the first installment in Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, which was published as The Golden Compass in the United States. It stars Dakota Blue Richards as Lyra Belacqua, Nicole Kidman as Marisa Coulter, and Daniel Craig as Lord Asriel, alongside Sam Elliott, Ian McKellen, and Eva Green. In the film, Lyra joins a race of water-workers and seafarers on a trip to the far North in search of children kidnapped by the Gobblers, a group supported by the world's rulers, the Magisterium

...The film received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the casting and visual effects, but criticism for its pacing, characterization, and screenplay...

two things going against it

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.
