I know it's harsh, but I hate every new regeneration of the doctor by default, at least until proven wrong. David Tennant changed my mind in just a few episodes. When Matt Smith came along, it took a few more, but I came around to liking him too. I have really high hopes for the new doctor, and I get the whole throw back to the days of old with a more seasoned looking doctor at the controls. I'm looking forwards to seeing a blue box hurdling through space and time once more, and can't wait to be proven wrong once again.
I felt the same way, but I actually enjoyed Capaldi much sooner than Smith. It took an entire season before I warmed to Smith, but Capaldi had me interested in just a few episodes from the regeneration. And of course Tenant had me right away.
