It looks like the author of the Haruhi series hit upon the solution to make the most out of his fictional world. How did he do that? Observe:
1. Get rid of the loud, annoying, crazy character.
2. Play up the only character that has any sort of usefulness.
3. Resurrect #2's rival.
4. Let everyone else fade to the background.
Upgrade it to movie form by adding great music and animation, and you have what's literally the best thing that could happen to the series (you know, short of developing the other characters).
Did that sound sarcastic or cynical? I didn't mean it to. I really did like the movie, and I'm looking forward to its DVD release. I truly think that as a part of the Haruhi series, it's the best of the novels I've read/watched (the first one is best if we're judging each independently of the others). But...what can I say? I call things like I see them.

1: But we still love Haruhi Suzumiya either way
2: Koizumi had "some" usefulness as well... Well... Possibly
3: Asakura Ryoko is possibly the only rival you do not want revived no matter what
4: Agree
