Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Console best movie i've ever seen.
kafjsakjilmi REVIEW: While I don't think that the characterization of the 1st Doctor as sexist was a very good idea, it wasn't too bothersome. Capaldi was great and is the best actor to ever play the Doctor (his performances in Heaven Sent, The Doctor Falls, and the Zygon Inversion are nothing short of BAFTA worthy), Pearl Mackie gave a wonderful, emotional performance, and Mark Gatiss was very good too. I thought the ending speech was contrived. Capaldi's farewell to Nardole and Bill was much better. The direction was good, as was the score, and I really liked the Testimony. I give Twice Upon a Time an 8.5 out of 10.----------------------To those unsure about a female Doctor, From someone who was against the idea before. I think it could really help the show's ratings and make it feel exciting and fresh again. As for who the next Doctor is, Jodie Whittaker was good in Broadchurch and great in ADULT LIFE SKILLS- but she's just incredible in JOURNEYMAN. If you are unsure about her as the Doctor, please go watch it. She gives a masterclass in acting without ever looking like she's trying. Her performance is one of the best I've seen all year. I'm sure she will be a wonderful Doctor.
metzelmax As many people know by now this episode was already supposed to be written by the next producer of Dr Who. But he declined and so Moffat created a last minute hack job. Basically everything that's wrong about this episode is what was wrong with Doctor who ever since Moffat took over. I'll start with the things I like. David Bradley was great as the 1st Doctor. His grumpiness was equally great with that of John Hurt in The Day of the Doctor. David literally pointed out flaws in the newer seasons that made it hard to enjoy the show. Like when he pointed out how the sonic screw driver is silly and over used. And the episode might have been great if it was a solo David + Peter movie... but sadly that wasn't enough a story for Moffat. Which brings us to the bad things: everything else. The episode starts out with a great mystery, which gets a really underwhelming resolution. Because that's how all of Moffats stories went: Promising that huge things will happen, but wont deliver on that front. The mystery is (spoiler) Humanity will resurrect every human being in history ever as a glass robot, so that... yeah why that's not explained. Because it makes no sense for relatives who miss the person as they can't intervene in the timeline and actually show the relatives the robots. The real reason why they do it is that Moffat hates bad endings. He killed Clara only to make her an immortal (literally) heartless girl that flies through space with another immortal woman. Now Bill is also immortal and dreads at the horizon to jump out of the deus ex machina box in any future episodes.I dearly hope Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker can salvage what is left of Doctor who after Moffat is done with it.
jc-osms Well we all knew how this one was going to end so it was really just a case of how also departing writer and show-runner Steven Moffat would get us there that mattered. In so doing he found a nice juicy part for his sometime collaborator Mark Gatiss with character whose identity I guessed long before the end and a story which saw us encounter the Doctor's first incarnation, plus the reincarnations, or so it seemed of Bill Potts and more briefly Nardini and more welcomely, Jenna Coleman as Clara. There was a mysterious presence going by the name of Testimony, a glass-formed creature which handily gathers and retains the memories of individuals on the verge of death, a meet-up with a reformed Dalek and of course at the climax, the at last welcome regeneration into new doc, Jodie Whittaker.For once then the doctor wasn't pitted against some galaxy threatening do-badder, although I felt the lack of any sense of danger, coupled with the inevitability of the outcome, rather took some of the edge off the episode. The commemoration of the Christmas 2014 World War 1 Armistice (remembering this episode was this year's Christmas Special), was apt and tastefully rendered. Perhaps more could have been done in the interaction between the two Doctors, although the old doc's antiquated sexist outlook couldn't have been more accidentally topical if it tried.I'll certainly miss Capaldi's waspish humour and yes, his Scottishness, but with a new writing team as well as the first ever female doctor the next season will be intriguing to say the least.I wish Ms Whittaker well in the part and will be keenly anticipating the new doctor's new adventures in the coming year.
Chris DonnieDarko Jee The usual fun. The usual amazing acting from Capaldi. The main issue was that it was trying so HARD not to be discrimate towards women. It was so cringey and in your face. I don't see me liking the new direction with a female doctor. It just don't feel right. I will certainly give it a chance but who knows. All in all a solid episode but kind of a nothing episode as it was all rather meaningless....?
