Oh, I see. To state your opinion as loud as possible?

OK, here is mine. I don't believe that movie should be exactly like 
the book, but I think that it is VERY reasonable to expect from the 
movie, which is adaptation of such famous book to state as close as 
possible to the original.


It is my view about all movies, which are adaptations. I've seen a 
lot and to tell you the truth, I am still yet to see the movie, which 
told the story better than the book.


I DO expect the movie to state as close as possible to the book. PoA 
failed spectacularly in that aspect, IMO.

By the way, it does not mean that I did not like the movie, I did. 
But, I liked it as  a totally different entity, which in my 
imagination had almost no relation to the PoA.
