As one who is not familiar with the fandom and was practically forced to go see the film at the midnight premier last night, I could easily complain about it on those grounds.
But I actually enjoyed it.
I am now interested in seeing the series, though I don't know that I ever will. My time is still currently being eaten by the Doctor Who fandom, though I am not fond of the current Doctor. I still adore the past one as he is part of my OTP for that fandom.
I say it is your choice to go see it.
Just remember it is a film adaptation and the films rarely do the books or series justice. Look at Harry Potter or the Princess Bride. They leave plenty of information out.
As I said, I liked it, but I have no knowledge of anything else or what everyone is complaining about. I did have to deal with my mate bitching about it afterward to the point I pulled out my iPhone and ignored him while reading a book on my Kindle app.
