For this die-hard fan, the movie holds a paradoxical position: I love the 8th Doctor, and the movie was pretty stupid. What I tend to do when I rewatch the 8th-Doctor movie, is to fast-forward though all the bits that don't have the Doctor in them...

Paul McGann, didn't have more of an opportunity to play the role, that this 8th Doctor didn't get a longer life span, so to speak.

That's why I really like the Big Finish 8th-Doctor audio-plays -- because they give him a longer life-span.
