If they are going to do a movie recap they need to reimagine it. It think the best way to go about it is to expand the plot and perhaps show some things that were happening elsewhere during the story.

Both the movie and the manga, for example, gloss over the Chunin Exams, with many of the new characters and teams barely getting an introduction and several matches being barely shown or not even shown at all. There's plenty of room for expansion, although I imagine some people might get even more annoyed by that, as it would essentially be more filler.
