No but it does have pirates pillaging and chasing around girls that they most likely intend to rape in a cartoonish manner. It's amazing what's considered acceptable on a Disney ride.

Yeah I loved those books and was incredibly disappointed by the movie.
Why would you attempt to adapt a series of books whose whole message was anti organised religion, and then leave out the religious aspect to avoid possibly offending one of the most powerful organised religions?

The movie? A reasonably unique and entertaining fantasy story. It is rare enough to get one where it isn't the same played-out storyline, nevermind one where you don't know the source material backwards and forwards. Which was the case for me. I liked it enough that it made me want to pursue it more.
It's a pretty original, gripping alternate universe/fantasy narrative that raises a lot of interesting questions to do with faith, human nature and organised religion.
That's why I liked it, anyway.
