Yep. It was very disappointing, particularly as Paul McGann is one of my
favourite actors, and I would have loved to have seen him given the
opportunity to do it properly.
One of the reasons they took so long to do it was trying to get him to play
the role. He didn't want to do it if it was 'Americanized', which is what
happened anyway, although it's not as bad as the previous plots written for
it. One of the reasons Spielberg dropped out was because he wanted to change
far too much (ie He wanted Daleks in it, but like The Terminator??)

An interesting book on the struggles to make a Doctor Who movie is THE NTH
DOCTOR.
