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.
