"I'm also reminded that for every Star Trek -- that is, every science fiction television show that has successfully made the leap to film -- there are a dozen or so Lost in Spaces that have crashed and burned in the transition."
The Doctor Who movies have all been pretty bad. In the first one they recast the Doctor, actually called him "Dr. Who", redo the origin story in a way that's not compatible with series lore, give us a third (or fourth) Dalek origin story, and generally screw up just about everything you can about Doctor Who, including actually titling the movie "Dr. Who and the Daleks". The second movie is better, but that's because it's simply a remake of the early great TV serials -- and an ending that will piss off every true fan.
And don't get me started on the 1996 Paul McCann movie. As the first comment on the imdb page says, "I don't know what it is, but Doctor Who it's not."
