Classic Who Review: Doctor Who (1996 TV Movie)


*SPOILER ALERT*

If you have not seen this please go find it on YouTube, watch it, then come back and read.

From The Author 

This review will be a bit different. I have never seen this movie before and will be writing my thoughts as I watch it. Enjoy!


Wow I would have thought the Daleks would have had a much cooler execution method. Some sort of explody cage thingy? huh...

Gosh I like this theme part.

I'm starting to get the feeling of impending doom I got when I first saw Batman & Robin...

Stereotype American gangs. How stereotypical for something half made in America.

Seriously Doctor?! You get shot that easily?! 

Why the New-York accents? I thought this was like LA or something.

Now I can't play Puddle without thinking I'm moving the Master around.

LASERS! The answer to everything.

Are they really allowed to have opera playing during open heart?

OK to clarify we are actually in San Francisco. Not LA but I was close!

No wonder this didn't restart the series...

Why did I even bother with this?!

Regeneration! At last!

Why would you ever walk into a morgue that has someone banging from the inside of a freezer without calling for any type of backup?

Green eyes is apparently an instant sign your husband has turned evil.

"Without a body or records no one will know he was ever here." considering like ten other people observed the surgery, let me know how that turns out...

See this is what happens when the BBC thinks they know what Americans are like.

Again, why do green eyes just seem to say "I'm evil?"

Every American kid's dream is a billion dollars according to the BBC.

WAIT JUST A DANG SECOND! I THOUGHT LOOKING AT THE EYE OF HARMONY VAPORIZED YOU!!! Stupid continuity errors.

I hear the guy who plays The Master is Julia Roberts' brother or something like that.

The Master has the power of Evil Spit! The world is doomed!

Jelly Babies!!! Maybe this isn't that bad...

Again, according to the BBC, America is the land of gun lovers and money lovers. Maybe this isn't all that inaccurate but the stereotyping is hilarious

Although I must say Grace is pretty cool. I'd like her to pop up again some day.

I now ship the 8th Doctor/Grace :)

Ooooh Slow motion battle scene.

So how does the Master getting sucked into the eye make him end up at the end of the universe? I hope there's a book on that.

I'm a big fan of the TARDIS landing visuals in this.

I think I have an OTP now. 8Grace Forever!

Conclusion:


OK so maybe this wasn't as bad as I first thought. I still by no means will rewatch it but overall I'd say it was a very interesting experience for me as a fan of the show. I think the actors did great and the blame for the bad bits must fall on the production team. 8 is an amazing Doctor and I truly wish he and Grace had more adventures together. I have found an OTP and for that I am grateful. My Rating 2.5/5
