Just posting to commiserate. Seems you're experiencing a bit of
delayed "Alfonso Cuaron Remorse".  I felt the same way, but have since
gotten over it, by vowing to no longer anticipate the movies in the
same way I anticipate the books.

As I recall, I posted quite a little rant-filled list when the movie
first came out, and I stick by it to this day.  The third movie just
isn't as "magical" to me as the first two. And that shrunken head....
Anyway, I really just wanted to mention something that I noticed a
while back. It's that (in general, mind you. It's not written in
stone, so don't get crazy, people) the younger fans seemed to like the
movie a great deal, while the older, adult fans seemed to be more
disappointed with it.

That said, I *did* run out and get the 3rd as soon as it came out (the
whole box set of 1,2, and 3, in fact!) and have been enjoying the
extras immensely, a bit at a time.
