When I first read the title I was quite excited and thought this could be the movie that was rumoured while David Tennant was still playing The Doctor, then I read that the Director wants a "radical transformation", to start from scratch and that he will not adhere to its small screen counterpart's continuity.

I now really dont feel much for this at all.

I remember watching the trailer of the movie after the BBC brought Doctor Who back and it looked so bad I never bothered watching it, until now...

I was looking for the trailer on Youtube and i've ended up watching the first half an hour of it. The acting is incredibly bad, but I hate turning off films half way in so it looks like i'm gonna go watch the rest of it.

Ok, so after watching it it wasnt as bad as I was expecting, but it was still terrible. Everything from the actors to the sets and special effects made it feel like I was watching "Are You Afraid Of The Dark does Doctor Who".

Can you take something so very British and make an American Hollywood movie? Probably not, but I think you can make an American Doctor Who movie that keeps a sense of wonder about the character and his friends and enemies and isn't terrible. It just won't be anything like the series, but nor should it be. Why make a movie if it was just going to be an adaption of the TV show? The TV show is there for that. The thing about Doctor Who is you can make a non-canon American movie with a new lead and new characters in a new time period...and it still can be canon.

EDIT - And bar the extremely boring Order of the Phoenix, David Yates did a great job with his Harry Potter movies.
