This movie won best the Oscar for Best Visual Effects in 2008 even though it's visuals have aged like milk. Let that sink in for a bit...

The image of a little girl wandering around an English college with a sloth around her shoulders is so surreal and hilarious.

It's hard to believe people hated this movie, made it bomb at the box office and somehow it won Best Visual Effects at the Oscars beating Transformers and Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End

Golden compASS

I paid money and saw this movie 3 times at the cinemas upon release. Spent most of my life since wondering where the sequel is/was but now I know that no one else vibed as much as I did

The show "His Dark Materials" is really what "The Golden Compass" was. An epic, three-season story about religion and violence in the name of it. It's actually brilliant.

Oh God, I remember playing this game as a kid. I couldn't get past the area where you're suppose to get the armor for the polar bear from the village and gave up.

I got this game when I was a kid and thought it was fun at first, when I reached the school area I felt tricked and gave up out of boredom.

This movie's revival, "His Dark Materials" , is super good. There's 3 seasons, I think

The goddamn counting had me weeping The mechanics in this game are something else

This movie is the equivalent to making a Harry Potter movie but based entirely around Harry's chocolate frog

This game was very confusing for someone who did not speak English as their first language. It took me like ten years to finally get past the boat level because you had to win minigames around the boat to win (If you lost, you had to reopen the save, since you had limited tries) Then I accidentally deleted that save file. Absolutely devastated because the later half was not fun at all.

i distinctly remember the fight between good guy polar bear and boss polar bear that ended with good polar bear ripping boss polar bear's jaw.

The scoliosis butler is a very relatable character

I just want to see an interview with the developer, like in the meeting where they're talking about game mechanics, who the hell went "you know what kids want in a game? Playing hide and go seek on a roof top."

I'm a simple person. I see Mind Pulp uploaded, I click. I never watched the movie, so the game seems like a masterpiece 👌

My favourite thing about the movie is how upbeat the movie ends with our protagonist saving her friend and them flying to her father. Only problem is that in book right after her Father kills him.

The tv show was WAY better than the movie. All the actors was stunning and the visual effects was well made

It's baffling how Golden Compass even won an Oscar for best CGI in 2007 and not Transformers 1 🙄 Glad His Dark Materials CGI and story is much better than the movie

Honestly I played this game as a kid and loved it, I preferred it to the actual movie, I remember it being so much fun

I actually really appreciated a lot of things that they did with this game. There was a lot of opportunities for reading the compass, and you could learn many of the symbol meanings... That's more detail than you'd expect from this sort of game, there were clearly some people in the staff who were passionate about the source material. How you could make use of the different daemon forms, and climb on the rooftops and tell people lies just like Lyra would... YES I do enjoy the catch game with the kids :D It was little things like these that really made me immersed with Lyra's character. The game could have been much better if they fixed the controls, camera etc. so the gameplay wouldn't have to be unnecessarily frustrating... But as a kid that didn't bother me either, I simply accepted it as a challenge to my gaming skills. Also, the soundtrack was fire!

I used to love this game as a kid but this whole riddle things with the compass… I never got to understand how it worked 😂

As a His Dark Materials fan this game was actually a guilty pleasure. I am well aware of the faults but I would play it over and over again even if I know that Will and the upcoming war against heaven Asriel was planning was never going to get a game. Funnily enough it had scenes that were taken straight from the cut ending. Outside of the books everything else from the franchise was rather mediocre. The HBO adaptation is the only one I would call a faithful adaptation and even then they messed it up at points but at least they didn’t censor key plot points on religious grounds and is actually completing the trilogy. 😂 Love this game, but very flawed I totally admit that.

I actually believe that the game is unique Imagine how good would will be if was released now days. Is a relaxing game and i miss those platform adventure games from Ps2 era

Oh dang, I wasn't expecting someone to talk about this game! I grew up with it and while I recognize now that it's certainly awful, I will say it's soundtrack is one of my all-time favorite video game OSTs.

I remember this game explicitly because i beat it all in one night, staying up overnight to do it

I remember playing this, the whole game... You guys did the right thing stopping so early on.

Never summon the power of your ancestors. Why would you ask some old dead person for fighting advice? Ask a bear or something.

"It was boring..." Finally, a game loyal to its source material.

This game can easily be really cool the whole sleuthing/puzzle thing while exploring characters is dope idea

i had the psp version as a kid, but i didn't know that you could save or load games. i also didn't know you could google walkthroughs and solutions for games. so every single day, i would start a fresh save of this game and play up til the exact same point where i would get stuck again, and then wander around that area until my mom would take my psp away for the day. i wasn't the smartest kid. kinda wanna go back home and find my psp and see if i can finally beat it

I loved this game as a kid and finished it too many times to count. You guys should’ve played the psp version, it’s the exact same thing but in a smaller screen so it’s a real game changer.

Ahh who doesn’t remember “British co’n Nar’Nia Symplenism” that’s British for I’m totally not a Narnia ripoff

I grew up with the movie and game so seeing you guys do a video on it really triggered heavy nostalgia

Please always continue these videos guys. You guys are one of the last youtubers I try to keep updated with

I love the Golden cum pass and its remake His dark stools

i wasn’t allowed to see this movie as a kid bc my dad said the director didn’t believe in God lmaoooo

The only thing I remember from golden compass was that the main character’s little companion is called a “demon”, and that caused many to not watch it.

The only thing people remember the Golden Compass for was the polar bear lol

I got taken to see this movie as a kid by my mum who loves polar bears. The movie was so boring and hard to follow that both of us thought it was awful. Looks like some how the game was even worse.

I remember back when I was in Sunday school, they *deadass* handed out sheets of paper in class that basically read: “The author of the book wants to bash Christianity and promote atheism to kids. DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!” ...Yeah.

YO! The books and story is absolutely incredible! The daemons are actually the humans souls in a physical manifestation. I personally loved the show from beginning to end. It was spectacular but it did change things or miss certain parts but overall it was a decent adaptation. This game doesn’t look great and I never watched the film, I just got in to the books when the show was coming out and then finished the other books before season 2 & 3 were released.

I remember seeing the trailer for this movie so much and having absolutely 0 interest in seeing it.

i remember seeing this movie and having no clue what was happening

The book series slapped. The kids accidentally mercy kill God. It's awesome.

"it can't be that bad" *Sees Comic Sans in the first menu they click on* "Oh, yeah, that's not a good sign."

I remember the first time I heard about this film/book: I was probably in fourth or fifth grade religious education (or Sunday school). Our instructor took a section of class to tell us sternly not to go see it because it portrays demons as best friends and priests as evil child abductors. Ironic given it’s about a fictional religious war and the dæmons not even being the standard ones of the Bible, but instructor still believed it was persecution on Christianity and promoting satanism. This is why I don’t practice religion anymore…

I remember my class being brought to see this in the cinema. I legit didn’t remember a thing about it after.

I’d love to see you guys play the Tintin Secrets of the Unicorn video game based on the Spielberg movie, i don’t remember it being half bad and I think you’d enjoy it!

Just found this gem of a channel, and now I can’t stop binge watching lol

14:01 there's something oddly hilarious about video game characters confidently plummeting to their death like they're diving into a pool.

I'm still hoping you guys will do the where the wild things are game it's basically just zelda

This movie was such an odd one for me I remember loving fantasy genres but this kinda jumped out from nowhere and while I wanted to watch it I can remember never getting round to it lol

I remember having this movie on DVD as a kid and just being confused on what Daemons are

I knew one girl that refused to watch the movie because in later books "they try to kill God!". It was so many years ago and I have no idea if that's true but I still find that hilarious.

You guys should check out Peter Jackson’s King Kong. That was my all time favorite growing up. Played it nonstop and replayed my favorite levels

Yea I remember my mom freaking out and my school as well “the movie was evil” lol still have never seen it😂

Would a coverage of the Eragon movie video game tie in be possible? It’s a neat book series with such potential squandered by the film.

the clip of Daniel Craig with the 007 theme playing just made me think "what came out around this time, Casino Royale or Quantum of Solace?" for a second, but the 2007 sealed it, not to mention that i lost it when the theme played.

If Mind Pulp start doing gameplay series again, I want to see them play Dead Rising, or finish Bully

Yall gotta try King Kong 2005 for ps2 it's actually got a decent metacritic rating and is actually a decent movie tie in game.

Wasn't the golden compass written by the same author as the nania series? Also i remember having a golden compass game on DS

The way the polar bear runs is so disturbing. Like a gorilla Yeti

the fact that you included a random clip if arthur and baxter made me sub.

GUYS,DO FUTURAMA NEXT, ONE OF THE FUNIEST YET WEIRDEST PS2 GAMES

12:19 Reminds of me of Home Alone with the movie Kevin watches, “One, two, ten!” Edit: 13:21 Also is that Goob from Meet the Robinsons or something, what in the world

I rented this game from the library as a child and all I remember is the mission where you clean up all the seagull S@*! off the boat. Fitting.

The only thing I remembered from the movie are the polar bears

I have this game and still have it after decades of owning it. I remember playing it as a kid and only getting to the boat level, and puzzles were hard for my little 6 year old brain. And I played this game not knowing it was a movie based videogame lol. Until I saw the movie years ago and it was bad. I barely remember that movie

I remember the film. It wasn’t very good . The tv series was much better more like it from the books

i pray to the gods for a barnyard part 2 also oh my GOD THE POLAR BEAR LOOKS SO BAD..........

I recently binge-watched a lot of your videos, and now I am obsessed with Purple Rain. Thanks, I guess haha

Games like this although in retrospect are really trash I loved them. Something about this reminds me of eries of unfortunate events game for ps2 that I wanted SO bad but I knew it was bad

Man I remember HATING this movie when it came out. I also wanted to punch Nicole Kidman's character so hard

BABE, GET THE CAMERA, NEW MIND PULP!

Icl eating sliced cucumber while watching the golden compass is a vibe

First time watching this channel and I haven't stopped laughing yet these 2 are golden comedy

are we not gonna talk about the dog clipping through the ceiling at 16:08?

13:20 Well of course he looks sick, he has to clean every chimney in the city and get paid with a moldy bread. Bring back child labor.

I only remember the ferret and the poster. Though wasn’t the ferret in that other movie, InkMark or whatever? I think Brendan Fraser or someone that looks like him was in that.

I had this game as a child and actually played through to the end… you only get to play the bear like 2 times and they’re both near the end of the game I was very disappointed because the whole reason I got the game was because of the bear.

I was kinda thinking if you guys should play a Scarface movie video game called "Scarface: The World is Yours". 😛

I remember the Catholic Church saying to not watch this movie when I was kid but I thought they told us to not watch it because it sucked, but it turns out it was over not having the same agreement of the movie lol

God the nostalgia I got from this. I loved playing the game in the Dock town where we meet Iorek.

(NSFW warning) I remember in one scene of the movie I think where one of the polar bears just fucking claws the other one’s jaw off and kills him, shit was insane

Literally the only thing about this movie I remember is where that bear got his jaw knocked clean off.

I remember the existence of this movie. My family rent the DVD and I don't have memories of it.

To be fair, the movie got completely screwed up due to it's distributor and producer, New Line Cinema, wanting to make the movie shorter, and as a result, it sort of messed up the pacing with MANY scenes deleted. It actually did way better overseas and they almost greenlit a sequel for that reason...except New Line made it so that only it's domestic box office numbers could regain back it's budget, but it bombed pretty badly in the US.

🎶"I've got a golden compass!"🎶

I remember the armored polar bear, I thought that was Narnia 💀

What’s that song playing at 0:34 🤔

I still own a Golden Compass board game that has never been opened. My parents bought it a very long time ago because it was on sale, but none of us actually knew what the hell The Golden Compass actually was, so we just...stored it away and never played it. I didn't know that it was a book (and later a movie) until way later when i read about it on the internet, as neither of them have ever been mentioned in my country 😂

16:26 is like one of those creepy statues in Elden Ring.

Played through this game a few times on my PSP. The game isn't good, but it was my favourtite "rainy day" game for some reason. My rainy day games are the games I play when it rains and I feel like playing something, but I am not in the mood for something intense or requires my full concentration underneath a warm blanket while i listen to the rain. It's nice stress relief. When you play as Lyra it is relatively fine, but the segments playing as the armoured bear were boring.

My favorite bit of this video is learning that my friend’s favorite game in elementary school was dogwater. Never got to play it but I can see why he wouldn’t wanna show all of us

My friend brought this game over to my house during a sleepover and we played it on my big brother's PS3. It disappeared that same night... I think it was stolen and pawned off by my brother, and I've always felt guilty about losing my friend's game at my house. But after this video, I don't feel as bad about it...

It was the 2000's and that was when EVERY film had a game adaptation even if the film LOST money!!! I am surprised the AVGN has not touched into the goldmine of 2000's film to game adaptations!

I'm literally crying laughing at the tag scene😂

Almost got this game using my coke reward points back in the day. Glad I got a Vault T shirt instead

I remember my mom found a stack of strategy guides for this game at Best Buy, each only costing a penny. She bought them, against my Sage advice, thinking she could resell them on eBay. Yes, we still own the damn things.
