User Reviews
Great story a good way to attempt bring Doctor Who back after 7 years gap since the original seasons finished
I enjoyed it but it felt just like a longer episode
It isn’t particularly good - but it’s late 90’s corny goodness. McGann is beyond entertaining here, and finishing this makes you want more
Paul McGann is an underrated doctor, but this movie as a whole wastes his talents. It’s only necessary for completist DW fans to watch.
The best opening Doctor Who theme music ever created and a great Doctor.
The 8th Doctor is the best thing about this movie! I want to see more of Paul McGann's Doctor. It is a cheesy 90's movie. I really like it!
This movie was the stepping stone between the classics and the modern shows. While it isn’t the best, it still holds a lot of pertinent info
McGann does well despite a dog script, but that isn’t enough to undo the overacting of Roberts and underwhelming ratcheted on Who elements.
I’m not sure the show lends itself to a grounded and serious tone, McGann would have been great as the doctor if he got his own series
It's has some painfully campy bits, but overall I love this movie and Paul McGann's Doctor. A must see for Doctor Who superfans.
