I usually don't post, but this I need to comment on. See, I was very
surprised to 
find out, just after PoA was released, that most people on this list
seemed to 
hate the movie, despite the fact that the reviews were (mostly) very
good. Also, 
everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) that I have spoken to in real life are
really 
fond of the film. These people range from die-hard fans to those who
haven't 
even seen the first two films, and from 15 to 35-year-olds. That made 
comments like "as one of the few who liked the film, I'd like to..."
very strange 
to me. I realize not everyone is going to find it as great as I, but
it seemed like 
maybe ten percent or so liked the film. I suppose those of us that
are satisfied 
aren't as likely to voice our opinion.
