Doctor Who: the Movie?

Well, it's that time of year again... and by that I mean it's time for someone to say that they're gonna be making another Doctor Who movie.

Yup, the BBC and David Yates, of the Harry Potter movies, are apparently making a Who movie that'll be independant from the television show, as the Beeb say "putting a fresh spin on the source material".

Is this a good or a bad thing? Well... the last Doctor Who movies were the ones starting Peter Cushing, and they had their retrocharm, I guess. And the Daleks looked like ET outside of their suits!

The next one was the pilot that was created with Paul McGann, which seems to be generally disliked, but I kind of liked it for what it was. They did a lot with a bigger budget, which was pretty neat with things like the design of the inside of the TARDIS.

Hopefully a bigger budget version of Doctor Who might be good, as long as it doesn't deviate too much from the original source.

Thoughts?
