No, it seemed to have more of an air for adult audiences. Don't ask me why. That's just how it felt.

That's because our Church is smart and realizes fiction is fiction and that people can think and make decisions for themselves. It's ridiculous how wound up some people can get. Ironically, if a church were to ban this anyways, they'd be no better off than the Magisterium as portrayed in the movie and books.

That's up for you to decide. To me it's an awful lot like how the Harry Potter movies are in contrast to the books, but still highly enjoyable.

From the trailers that I have seen, the best portrayal, as in how I imagined the characters is Lee Scoresby, who surprisingly looked pretty close to how I imagined.

Lee Scoresby was incredible. Shame on me for never imagining him as an actual cowboy. ^_^'

Which is why I'm not seeing it unless someone else pays for it.
