Good movie for movie's sake

I reluctantly give this 3 stars, because the film is great, but having read all of the books (this being my favorite) it's an absolute abomination. My wife, who went with me and has not read the book got confused and lost, not what a good film should do. I have two major complaints 1) Where is all of the back story behind the life of Tom Riddle, you need this. In fact, a majority of the book was spent on this. To truly defeat your enemy, you must know your enemy. 2) As in the previous installment, it's titled "Half-Blood Prince" so, let's basically not search for him. Two small scenes are devoted to figuring out who this is before it's just blatantly told to you. As a film goer, this is a good movie, but as a Harry Potter fan, it's ok.
