Yep, that's exactly how I would describe it. It was an amazing movie, 
especially if you never read the book or haven't read it recently 
enough that the inconsistencies and omissions of the movie were 
glaringly obvious.  

It's been a while since I read POA, and I really didn't think of all 
the omissions and inconsistencies until after the movie, when we were 
on our way home and all chatting about it in the car.  And even 
realizing all of that, I still want to go back and see it again.  

My only complaint about the movie itself, as a stand-alone, is that 
it moved VERY fast.  I went to see it in the wee hours of the morning 
following a long evening at an arts/crafts event, and my poor tired 
brain just couldn't keep up in some places.
