We *may* be in the minority (I'm not sure if we are, but I've noticed
that opinions on movie POA seem to be polarized) but I agree with you.

I thought it was much more beautiful than the first two. It's still my
favorite of the movies, with OotP in second. I liked the way it
moved-the first two films are slow-paced and frankly, boring. I've
found them very hard to watch again without wanting to fast forward. 
There were things I missed (like you, I love the Marauders backstory)
and yeah, they could have cut the shrunken head and I wouldn't have
missed it, *g*, but overall, I loved it and would be thrilled to see
Cuaron at the helm again. Or Guillermo Del Toro, who's expressed
interest in it. I guess I'm not a purist when it comes to the films.
