That must be a really small part of the fandom, because most of the folks on the forum and all the fans we know personally loved it.
As fras as Simon goes, I LOVED him in the movie, and Simon is my favorite character. He isn't, fortunately, the favorite of MOST of the fans in the series, which I find a shame. I'm not sure he's misunderstood as much as he isn't there for funny or bad-ass moments, and that's why most people like Mal, or Jayne, or Wash. But as an angst fan, I wholly appreciate what he does for River, and how much he gives up for her.
If he came off as a prick in the movie, people weren't paying enough attention to his motives.
