I agree, the movie is not that great. It's very graphical and beautiful, but the actual story tends to drag on and on. Yeah, the subs are perfect since they're a direct rip from the R2 DVD.
In response to the Naruto info, it's not as logical to take the subs from the fansubs. Since there isn't a subtitle track to rip from, it would be a hassle to download wait until ANBU & AONE to release their version, then download it, and then actually type the subs word or word, then try to time set those subs, etc. Mainly the waiting and the downloading would probably be the reasons why they don't do it that way.
With Casshern, all they have to do is pop in the R2 DVD, and tell it to copy the English subtitle file. You can't do that with hard subs like Naruto.
However, if softsubs ever get popular with fansubbers, it would be a logical option to go the route you're talking about, and just convert the subtitle file to something usable on DVD. That's what I did with my Appleseed fansub. It was horribly softsubbed, so I edited all the crappy subs and fixed some small timing issues, then burnt it to DVD so I could watch it on TV instead of my crummy computer.
