When someone does something really well it's often hard for a Myth 101 student to pick up on all the things they did well, but when someone screws something up bigtime, it's easier to try and piece together things or at least get them to recognize ways it differs and how it could have been better or more accurate.
I mostly wasn't dissapointed in the movie because of its gross divergance from the story (which did make it worse), but because it was a poorly made movie despite the high-budget production, and the stellar cast and crew. In terms of movies that are just meant to be amusing diversions, I prefer that they last no longer than 90 minutes, otherwise they are just a sadistic form of water-torture
