Movie Reviews of Doctor Who: The Next Doctor (2008 Christmas Special)
Movie Review: The best of the 2008-09 specials!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a huge "Doctor Who" fan, and I feel that the series has lost its way. But this one was great, and certainly with out a doubt the only good one that was made in between seasons four and five. This story had a great plot, it was action-packed, adventurous, and full of funny parts. The performaces stand out as absolutely fantastic. The only thing that let me down is tha fact that these Cybermen are once again the ones from the parallel Earth. What happened to the Cybermen from our universe that were in the old series? I also wished that David Morrissey would have really been the Doctor because I would have loved to have seen him playing the Doctor some time in the near future. I think he would have been a great Doctor. Still a pretty damn good story. I choose this one and the animated "Dreamland" to be my final David Tennant stories. Because they were a lot better than his final three.
Highly recommended!
Summary of Doctor Who: The Next Doctor (2008 Christmas Special)
Christmas Eve, 1851, and the Cybermen stalk the snow of Victorian London. When the Doctor arrives and starts to investigate a spate of mysterious deaths, he's surprised to meet another Doctor and soon, the two must combine forces to defeat the ruthless Miss Hartigan. But are two Doctors enough to stop the rise of the CyberKing?Broadcast under intense speculation as to whether it would lead to David Morrissey taking over the title role (he didn't), Doctor Who: The Next Doctor actually turned out to be a really enjoyable 2008 Christmas special for the show, crammed with action and ideas. The premise of The Next Doctor, that there are two Doctors on the go, is set up early, as David Tennant's Doctor encounters Morrissey's character wielding a screwdriver, talking of the TARDIS, and fighting foes. This allows Tennant to slip into the role of the assistant, and his double act with Morrissey is excellent, with the latter making the most of a meaty, evolving role.
Also winning the acting plaudits though is the villain of the piece, played by Dervla Kirwan. She's scene-stealingly good here, and next to her, the returning Cybermen look surprisingly tame, even considering the surprises that the episode throws up as it enters its final act. The Next Doctor isn't a perfect episode by any means, and the terrific Christmas Invasion is surely the best Yuletide installment to date. But it's an entertaining, busy, and ambitious hour, and worth seeing for Morrissey and Kirwan alone. --Jon Foster
