Your post almost exactly mirrors the one I made when I re-watched the movie a few months back. I mean, it had some clunkers (see the aforementioned Jesus, half-human, Eye of Harmony, etc.) but I think what people couldn't get behind at the time was that it was a different way of telling a Doctor Who story and (surprise!) the storytelling in the movie is much closer to what we've seen in the current series. In fact, in some ways, what people hated about the Eighth Doctor became part and parcel of Nine and Ten.

Regardless, I ♥ me some McGann. Also, Fitz. I am overdue for some EDA goodness....

I still have 3 never-read EDAs on my shelf and will definitely be lifting them down when I get home next week. ::nods:: The movie leaves so much to be desired and could have been so much better than it was but then, if it had succeeded, there wouldn't have been any EDAs and in so many ways, the breadth and scope and sheer flights of occasional insanity but mostly creative genius of the EDAs exceeded anything that could ever have been dreamt of for TV.
