I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Dr. Who is Brilliant, I've been watching the series since i was 5 years old. As a kid i loved getting scared by the monsters, the monsters that scared me the most were the Autons.The two most memorable scenes which scared me the most where: the start of the invasion, when the Autons start coming to life and massacring people (from Spearhead From Space Episode 4 and The Autons Massacring people in Rose (Series 27 Episode 1).If you love science fiction, action, historical and mysterious movies your love Doctor Who.If you decide to watch Doctor Who i recommend starting of at the very begging.there are 96 episodes currently missing from the BBC archives, however some of the missing episodes have been brilliantly animated using the original soundtracks.

It is now wonder this show has run for as long as it has. I'm reviewing the classic series only, although why it's split into two I've never fathomed out. Seven actors held the mantle of being the Doctor, credit to William Hartnell, for being the hook, for gripping the initial viewers, and credit to Patrick Troughton for doing the unthinkable and taking over the lead role. I love how each generation of my friends had a 'Doctor,' and how passionate they felt towards theirs. I grew up with Sylvester as mine, and sadly by then the show was in a huge decline and subsequently ended up being axed.Purple patch of the show for me Series 13, Tom and Lis on supreme form, fantastic production values, and writing to match, the whole Gothic horror format worked amazingly well. Such a shame that the quality went out of the show during the late eighties for the most part, but there are definite hidden gems in there, Remembrance of the Daleks being a prime example.I'm sure we all know parts of the series inside out, so doing a general review is quite difficult, all I can say is that I've loved this show since I was young and continue to do so.Highlights, Caves of Androzani, Genesis of the Daleks, Pyramids of Mars, to name but a few.Legendary 10/10

Okay I am huge fan of doctor who I love the monsters and the time travels I have been watching new series for a while now so I give the classic series a try I wanted to see the ones from Tom Baker and John Pertwee and Peter Davsen's era so I watch one from Peter's era and I was not let dawn by him so watch Tom's and John's as well The doctors I like from the classic series are the 4th 3rd the 5th 7th the 2nd and the 1st are okay the 6th was my least favorite doctor and as for the monsters their where some monsters from the new series and some I did not know until now so you can I good time watching this series its a bloody good show and full great things my favorite episodes are the ones with the Daleks and the Cyberman The tomb of The Cyberman was outstanding watch and I watch bit more the classic series because I have seen almost all the episodes from season 3 from the new series and to me I think the classic series is good as the new series I give this a 10 out of 10 for outstanding work.

After watching David Tennant wrap his seasons Stateside it occurred to me I'd seen ALL the Doctors at work and play over decades. Herewith my thumbnail review of their portrayals...Doctor One: William Hartnell. See him in any other movie and you see his Doctor. A nearly imperceptible comedic touch. And given the present state of FX it's an occasionally surprising treat to view some of his serials. My first and still-favorite involves not the Daleks but the Aztecs.Doctor Two: Patrick Troughton. If you don't think a dramatic actor can handle comedy, he will prove you wrong whilst giving 110 per cent. More's the pity that his work is the least preserved...Doctor Three: Jon Pertwee. If you don't think a music-hall performer and all-around cut-up can handle drama, HE will prove you wrong. If you want to know where his heart lies seek and find on-line Worzel Gummidge...Doctor Four: Tom Baker. There's an awful lot going on behind those eyes and for his longevity he has more than his share of Companions, which is very likely why we wind up with...Doctor Five: Peter Davison, novel in his youthfulness as he gets the job done but rightfully better known for his other television roles.Doctor Six: Colin Baker, a solicitor-turned-actor and veritable splash of color of whom I would say the same as Davison if I wasn't persistently distracted by a Companion...Doctor Seven: Sylvester McCoy. Doubtless talent but there's unquestionably someplace he'd rather be, and with truly rare exceptions the scripts don't help.Doctor Eight: Paul McGann. Didn't see enough of him to truly judge though the made-for-television attempt by Fox was at the least a sincere effort. By rights Peter Cushing should count as well...Doctor Nine: Christopher Eccleston. A Manc with a mad on but the heart of the franchise's revival. I'd like to see more of his work.Doctor Ten: David Tennant. A superbly talented Scot whose departure I can well understand. He's surrounded by the best supporting ensemble that get plenty to chew on.Doctor...say, I thought there were supposed to be ten. And they're getting younger. Matt Smith has both a legacy to uphold and big shoes to fill. He frankly appears the young actor who wishes to direct NOW and doubtless can. I wish him well.Don't avoid watching and comparing the past Doctors at work and play. You also get that opportunity with the three multi-Doctor specials, "The Two" in my view the best. But they're not the only ones who need regenerate. This long-running series is arguably the best example of change that isn't always successful but always leaves you wanting more...or sometimes less. It's a soap opera with changing leads and all of Time and Space on the palette, but its ultimate irony is having begun essentially as children's entertainment. If you haven't noticed, kids of all ages have grown...Along these lines: Kirk or Picard? James T is by far the better character while Jean-Luc is Roald Amundsen. William Shatner is as good as what he's handed (find The Andersonville Trial) but Sir Patrick Stewart need only read a book aloud to get my attention.
