I'm not 100% sure about Film 5 either, but I actually thought they kept to the heart of the 
book better than any of the other films... and I think most of the subplots simply would 
have gotten in the way as many don't "wrap" themselves up till books 5 or 6 or even (they 
better!) 7.

BUT yes, I was FURIOUS that Bellatrix AK'd Sirius.  WAY too off-canon.
