I wonder if a lot of the fans who hated the film wanted a very very serious, dignified, pricey retelling of the exact same story, a sort of validation of the life they've spent in DS fandom, something that might even be flattering to their sense of themselves as fans... an antidote to the mocking of non-fans, over the cheap special effects, onscreen bloopers, plot holes, etc.. "See!", they could say... "THIS is the essence of DS that we always saw! We could see past technical mistakes to the heart of it!" And non-fans would never mock it again. A fantasy like that.
Sometimes I put some unflattering ideas out there, about fans of this or that show. I don't want to be insulting, and I hope I'm not. I do question, though, feeling so betrayed by an absurd take on DS, perhaps feeling betrayed by anything not dead serious and a copy of the original plotline. I wouldn't think it would be of any value to do that all over yet again.
