Doctor Who (1996 TV Movie)
1/10
The worst movie ever... ruins what Doctor Who should be

Doctor Who is a great series, which died a slow and painful death as a result of bad script writing and directors who no longer cared about it. This movie almost resulted in the end of Doctor Who forever. Why you may ask? Well, let me explain.

No offence to you Americans out there, but this is so typically American. And it sucked big time. They picked up a British TV series and tried to do better. Here is a newsflash to all American producers out there... you cannot outdo the British. Especially when it comes to Doctor Who. You just have no idea what you're on about.

When the doctor landed and he was shot I was like, really? Gangs? Guns? Shooting? No, no, no, no, NO! Doctor Who is about aliens fighting with aliens. Oh and don't forget the infamous hospital scene. What is it with Americans and gangs, shooting and hospital scenes?

Then the rest of the movie was just terrible. The acting was bad, the master was a joke and it just wasn't Doctor Who. The only person who made it even slightly good was Paul McGann. He wasn't fantastic but with such a bad script, he didn't have a lot to work with. If he was given half a chance, he could have been good.

So let's just say this... don't watch this. It's terrible and a total waste of time. Watch the original series and the current series but avoid the movie at all costs.
