I feel like anime translated from a serial into one or more movies tend to develop serious problems with pacing. You miss out on extensive character development and get periodic forced dumps of exposition so the whole thing ends up shallow, blunt, and unenjoyable. I haven't seen MM in particular but this was true of the new Eva movies for example (though it was the least of their problems). It's the same problem with translating books: There's too much content for a movie to fit comfortably.
