(For a more accurate piecemeal dissection of the movie, I can link you to a reveiw I made of it) The Golden Compass, largely based off of a response to C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, the Golden Compass is based on Phillip Pullman's highly Anti-Thiest Dark Material's Triligy. He uses the Magisterium, (Which is a very high up body of Clergy in the Church) as the main Bad guys, and in the end, The main Character's 'kill' God and announce the Republic of Heaven. I read the books when I was younger, and I boycotted this movie. Beowulf, The legend had nothing whatsoever to do with Christianity, in fact, it was set in Pagan times before the Coming of Chritianity to Scandanavia and Denmark. In the Movie, the only person talking seriously of Christ, is a drunken guy taking a leak, the same person cowardly beats up his slave unneccesarily, and later becomes a Catholic Priest. Including a blasphemous line from beowulf himself, 'The Age of Heroes is over, the Christ-God killed it' Completely thrown into the movie for the sake of it. Jumper, in the book, the bad guy was a radical Muslim terrorist, in the movie, the bad guys are the Magisterium, Inquisition, etc, etc, etc all rolled into one. (No, literally, it is) Left Behind Series. I am unaware of any Mormon ones.
