Movie Reviews of Doctor Who - The Complete First Series
Movie Review: Don't get excited
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't get excited. It's not the first series. Apparently some very young person at the BBC completely forgot about the first 25 or so years of the series. You will not find Pertwee or Baker or even Davidson in this collection. It's actually the new Dr. Who from 2005. Lets call him... ... ...The New Millennial Dr. #1.
Still, this Dr. is the best of them all. Believe me, it takes a lot to make me switch my favorites! But here we have what we all wanted Dr. Who to be about from the beginning. Still the great, campy, well written stories, but now we have the technology to really make them shine. It doesn't hurt that the new Dr. is good looking, young, and played by a consummate actor: Christopher Eccleston.
Movie Review: The Doctor is IN!
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely wonderful show! Couldn't wait to get the DVD set, and have been having a blast watching it all over again! A must have for all science fiction fans! A show that makes you use your brain and have fun at the same time, what more could you ask for? Simply put it's FANTASTIC!Movie Review: FanTAStic!
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, that's probably the title used by half the reviewers but i haven't read any of them yet :o)
Series One is fantaboulous- Christopher Eccleston as the Nith Doctor really sucked me into the show. The really lucked out getting him, and Billie Piper's not bad, either!
Great buy, highly recommeded. My kid's love it too and they're aged 4.5 and 7.5
Movie Review: Christopher Eccleston is the DOCTOR!
Summary: 5 Stars
The new Doctor Who series has a bigger budget and better writing than the past generations and it's tons of fun! Christopher Eccleston in the 1st series as the Doctor is FANTASTIC. Great action packed stories that are lots of fun to watch. If you never understood the British cult of Doctor Who previously, this new series will hook you.
In the second series, David Tennant's Doctor is just a bit melodramtic nutsy with a tinge of mushy humanism (a few too many diatribes about the magnificance of the human race). But still worth watching!
Movie Review: Not at all what I remembered!
Summary: 4 Stars
I passionately hated Dr. Who when I was a kid growing up in the mid-80's. I just didn't understand why anyone would like it. Couldn't even stand to listen to the theme music 'cause it freaked me out so badly! I've never been a huge fan of science fiction either. (Harry Potter books are one of only a very few exceptions to this rule.)
However, when my local PBS station (which I LOVE) started airing episodes from this new series, I figured I'd give it another try. SO worth it! The writing, acting, special effects, directing...EVERYTHING about it is excellent, and it's such an intelligent, thought-provoking show which makes you feel so many different emotions!
If one episode alone could completely change my opinion, how much do you think YOU would enjoy it? :-)
Yes, I'm an adult now and can tolerate scary TV much better than I used to, but I will admit that sections of some episodes still frighten me. (Great episode, but "Empty Child" sent shivers down my spine every time I heard this little voice call out, "Mummy. Mummy. Are you my mummy?") I like to watch this series with all the lights on and the dog curled up with me. Each episode sticks with me, and I always hope that it won't give me nightmares!
