Movie Reviews of The Twilight Zone - The Complete Series (Season One)
Movie Review: Twilight zone series
Summary: 5 Stars
Watched them all within a week. Very pleased with the series and prompt delivery.Movie Review: Much better & cooler than the original...
Summary: 4 Stars
The new Twilight Zone (2002) was really a show that was overlooked. Perhaps because the original show from the 50's was already remade in the 80's only those that were fans of the original series gave this one a look.
Having read quite a few reviews of this series it seems it wasn't too popular with fans of the original and most people seem to think the 80's remake was better. However, I prefer this remake so much that I bought the 6-disc Season 1 set. Unfortunately, there was only one season! Some of the things I liked best about this show was having the host Forest Whitaker walk around the set in the beginning and end of each episode. Gives it sort of a 3-dimensional feel I think. And come on you gotta love that introduction music - much better than the score for either of the previous series. And of course you get to see a lot of your favorite B-movie and TV show actors make a debut or two. I never watched the show when it aired in 2002. I actually stumbled across it one night on one of the local cable channels and saw the episode "The Pool Guy" with Lou Diamond Phillips. Since LDP is my favorite "non-mainstream" actor, I decide to watch it. The story was good and reminded me of the Outer Limit series I had enjoyed so much a few years ago. I later learned that the same person that produced The Outer Limits also did this Twilight Zone (2002) series. So if you were a fan of the Outer Limits I think it is safe to say you'd enjoy some of these episodes as well. Sure not every story is a good one, but some of them are quite good. Most of the stories take on familiar ground in the Sci-Fi realm, but there are a few twists here and there you aren't likely to expect. Episode 2 "Night Route" comes to mind. And I enjoyed Jason Alexander's (George from Seinfeld) portrayal of "Death" in "One Night at Mercy." The aforementioned "The Pool Guy" is one of the classic episodes in this series. The complete Season 1 can be had on Amazon (NEW) for about $10! Unheard of for a complete season series. The DVD set comes with an episode guide as well. It's certainly worth the $10 if you are a Sci-Fi fan...

I've been a Twilight Zone fan since I was little.
I purchased the 1980's version AND the 200's version of the Twilight Zone DVDs and love them both.
If you're a fan, you'll like this.
Movie Review: Not the original...so what
Summary: 4 Stars
I had read all of the negative reviews about this version and after much hemming and hawing I finally decided to buy it and all I can say is that it was money well spent.
To the folks who have reviewed this and given it negative reviews because it is not the original twilight zone, I say you're right, there will never be another original twilight zone and this is not as good as the original. However, this version has many episodes that I remember (now that I have watched them again on DVD) that I really liked and they stand on their own merit. This is different than the original, it's true, but that doesn't necessarily make it BAD!
For example, one of the episodes that I missed of this series called "Mr. Motivation" is a bonifide hoot...funny and creative and even does the original one better by giving the doll the kicker line of in "the Twilight Zone". A nice touch.
So to all those that have said that they like the original and even the second version of the Twilight Zone better, I agree they are better, but there is enough or the original spirit of Rod Serling in these episodes to make it worth the money spent.
Go ahead, give this version a try. It's worth it!
