Oh, I don't know. I'd say discussion of the Depp/DS film is just about where I'd expect it to be - particularly for a new version of DS. If one goes back through this topic, one can see that there are definitely posts which share very favorable views of the film or which discuss some aspect or other of the film - the posts aren't all simply about links to various online articles or about the film's box office. And the responses to polls about the film are pretty much in line with responses to practically any poll on the forum.
It's probably also worth pointing out that there really isn't a lot that's been posted about the two original DS films. In fact, when it comes to the original films, there's probably more posts about if/when they were ever going to come out on DVD than anything else. And for me anyway, I don't read into that that there's a negative opinion of those films simply because there's a lack of in depth discussion about them. The real truth of the matter is that the lion's share of what gets discussed here is related to the original series. But then there's nothing in the least bit surprising about that because there's a lot more opportunity for discussions when there are hundreds of hours of story and 1225 episodes and not simply three films with 90-120 minutes of story.
Though to get back to the Depp/DS film, plans with regard to it for the coming year on the forum have been in the works behind the scenes for the past several months. And who knows, maybe those plans will prompt more discussion? Or maybe not. We'll just have to wait and see...
