Review of Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) by Edward D — 10 Jun 2010

Well, Doctor Who is a fictional character that can travel through time, space, and dimension in an England Police Telephone Box. He looks human though he is part of a race of aliens called Time Lords. Another point is when the Doctor Who character dies, the Doctor Who soul reincarnates into another human male.

Peter Cushing is british actor who was paired with Christopher Lee in vampire movies and at least one Frankenstein movie. He was the character in the "Original Star Wars Series" that got force choked by Darth Vader. So before popping the DVD, I was hyping goodness and expectations because of the character and a british known actor in a British production. Low and behold though the writers of this movie fuck it up!

First, off this movie starts out with Doctor Who in conversation states that is half or part human. Eh okay I accept it. Second, he has a granddaughter. Oh okay whatever, the story is the thing. Well what pisses me off is that 97% of the time in other Doctor Who presentations: he is confident, smart, fast talker, schemer, and uses his brains. Well at one point in this movie, the Doctor Who cowers behind his granddaughter! What the fuck! And more importantly, he does not even know how to solve the dilemma he gets himself in.

The positive things in the movie are the set designs, camera angles, and the lighting which is used in the movie. These were the saving graces of the movie. Every thing else ugh!

FINAL VERDICT: For a casual movie goer to see this, I say just watch any other Doctor Who program. ?For a Doctor Who fan to see this, the bragging right that you actually watched it.? If you are interested in set design, lighting, and angles, this might be of some note.
