In the show, she was such a great, complex character and now she's annoyingly flat and irritating. Plus, yeah...Rube's gone. I don't know. I wanted it to feel epic, but I'm afraid you're right.

I felt the same way. I really REALLY wanted to like it. I found myself laughing at bad jokes and getting sappy at manipulative moments... I came out of it thinking, "OK, that was a 2 - 2.5/5," but the more I thought about it, the more I realized how incredibly
bad it was.
I'm glad that I wasn't the only one who missed the old Daisy. It's funny; during the show, when they first introduced her, I hated her. But then she grew and developed and I fell in love with her - her facade - her weakness - just, her. I was horrified that the movie did away with all that and completely miscast this womanbeast. There's a certain charm in Daisy's frailty and this brute was nothing but the narcissistic facade. Bleah.
I don't really think they should have made the movie. :(
