Not that I'm one to defend critics much... but I think that critics may simply
be missing the point of the movie, and, to be fair, I don't think they were
told (or anyone was) that the movie was for fans only. Remember that most
critics -- and, in fact, most people -- did not watch TP religiously, and
that without a "scorecard", there's no way to tell what's going on. If 
viewed as a completely separate entity from the other TP materials, it
does appear to be a lousy movie; I doubt I would sit still for a movie that
presumed that I had a clear idea of all the actors and story lines in, say,
Dark Shadows.
