the 2006 made for TV Doctor Who movie

I think you mean 1996.

It definitely has a lot of flaws, I'll grant. Sylvester McCoy probably shouldn't have been in it, the kid character is an idiot, the Time Lords sending The Master to be executed by the Daleks makes no sense, The Doctor is most certainly not half-human, and the Eye of Harmony is supposed to be something that was on Gallifrey, not in the TARDIS. But Paul McGann's portrayal was so good that I'm prepared to forgive a lot because of it, and (I may be painting a target on my back that says 'philistine' for this, so sue me) the Americanism of it was actually an interesting change of pace.

Yeah, I did mean 1996, typo.

It was also really annoying they went the "clueless alien" route with the Doctor's character. I know they use the excuse of his regeneration for this, but part of the fun of Doctor Who is that he is a 900 year old super genius, no one wants to see him running around being a clueless idiot. I guess that makes it hard for me to think much of McGann's portrayal of the Doctor.
