The Golden Compass tried too hard to minimize the Church being the bad guy.

The Mists of Avalon adaptation had some weird changes as well. For pacing, I guess, but still.

The Giver wasn't all that bad, but I felt like making the characters older and adding a love story took it in a different direction.

I agree about the Giver. On the one hand it was underrated and an okay adaption. On the other hand, making the romance explicit rather than just the starts of attraction on Jonas' part from no longer taking the pills kind of ruins the subtly of the books. I didn't entirely mind the aging up, but I felt the actor they chose for Jonas was kind of bland and not what I'd picture even for an older Jonas.

Yeah, I was kind of torn. Overall I actually think the movie is really brilliant and a lot of the added scenes are really interesting (not being tied to Jonas's POV, so more opportunity to explore gov't people and whatnot). I guess I'm not inherently against aging up characters, but it just gave it more of a YA genre feel to me, especially with the romance.

The only thing I liked about The Golden Compass was Lyra being the little shit that she is in the books.

I was more horrified to see Bond Asriel, the gutted ending, Bolvangar taking place after Svalbard for no good reason, and daemons being nothing more than talking pets to even begin to care about the Magisterium.

I think most of those problems just had to do with the rest of the planned movies never getting made. The ending of the book was supposed to happen at the beginning of the second movie (because they wanted the movie to end on a happier note) and, I dunno, I never got the idea that the nature of daemons had been intentionally changed for the movie. If it wasn't clear it was either that the message didn't get across as well as the filmmakers intended, or was going to be a later reveal. In the book, most of the explanation is narrative text, which is hard to translate to film without making characters spout clumsy long-winded exposition.
