That's often the case when you compare anime series that are 5+ years apart. And compare ufotable to Deen.

I had a similar experience. I started watching it shortly after it finished airing, and got bored after a few episodes. I didn't watch it as a whole until the BluRay set came out in Japan. Finished it, gave it a slightly above average rating, and called it a day. When UBW was announced as a movie, I played the VN due to suggestions from fans of the series. And wow, what a difference the true source material is compared to the adaptation.
And I wouldn't call it a butchering, so much as a typical Deen half-ass adaptation with typical forced Deen merging of routes (still Saber's route as a whole, but they toss in poorly done pieces of UBW and HF).
