I can understand how one would be shocked by the changes, but 
impressed???

The whole movie felt like an American action flick with Mexican 
touches... talking heads???? 

Stupid working class stiffs - who not only acted dumb, but also 
looked dumb? Cliches? Why?

Why the change to the uniforms? The choir? And was that Flitwick? 
And where was Sir Cadogan? 

Why the really tacky werewolf transformation... the 8 year-old-
beside me thought it looked like a hairless rat... not a wolf.

And oh yeah, a dirty Leaky Cauldron which looked like a dive in my 
town from my childhood over 40 years ago.  No magic there.

None of the movies few plotlines or conversations lead into movie 4 
or advance the story towards Harry's ultimate fate.

Sad.

And the Titanic inspired ending... blegh... urk...
