Ok. You're basing your arguement on the fact that you know quite a bit about the mythology. You're just being like the LotR and Harry Potter fans who complain about stuff being changed, added/taken out of the book. Not that there's anything wrong with that. As I did it for The Goblet of Fire.

But I believe, as a movie, without having to think about interpretations from another form, it was good.

So do you have any reasons to not like the film, besides changes to the basic story? You're not really knocking the movie, as much as you're knocking the process of turning a story from a different form into film. Really, I think that's what happens to all movies that are picked up from somewhere else. You're never going to get the exact same story once it's translated to film.
