Sorry, this movie sucks

Overrated and overhyped

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

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.

It was the end of an era for doctor who, other than a new doctor it's was the end of Steven Moffat and the end of doctor who as we know it. I was expecting it to go out on a bang, but it didn't, the first doctor was a stupid mistake and a complete mockery of hartnells doctor. Since when was the first doctor sexist and the twelve doctor pc gone mad (apparently women can't clean anymore). Other than that I thought that this episode had a boring plot, poor cgi and just a terrible episode. It would have been so much better if davros was behind the plan instead of rusty, no one really liked that episode and most regular non fan viewers will have forgotten about the episode so wouldn't have a clue what's going on! The music was recycled the twelve doctor wasn't the one I knew and was just there to suddenly talk about feminism which he hasn't really talked about before but as it's a female doctors first episode, you have too. Bills character also felt pointless and ruined her departure from The Doctor Falls. Clara's cameo could have been executed better and a montage of there travels would have improved the scene even more, I would not recommend this episode to anyone.

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....?

Twice upon a Time is the title of this episode, which sees a nice bit of casting by drawing David Bradley from the depiction of the actor William Hartnell, to here play the character he was most famous for (while Bradley himself is more famous for Game of Thrones now). This is one of the many positive things that this special held out; a final outing for Capaldi, a final appearance for Mackie (somehow), and a regeneration into a new Doctor. Lots on offer, so it is frustrating that it doesn't really hit many high notes as it goes.The plot sees time frozen, but it is the tone that seems the most awkwardly stuck between two stools. It knows it has to be 'important' but at the same time it also kind of knows that it should be entertaining too. Any time it tries to do one, it seems overly conscious not to move too far from the other; the end result is something that is very middle-of-the-road and lacks conviction in what it is doing. Capaldi deserves a stronger bow out than this; he gets his moment on screen but the episode itself doesn't build up as well as previous exits have. Bradley's Doctor isn't used particularly well at all; there is a novelty of seeing him but mostly his character is not great - which is a fairly poor situation if you are going to bring the original Doctor back. As a story there isn't really a pace to it, and I didn't find myself held by it as it unfolded. Returns and references for many characters just felt like they were throwing things at the screen, not that the story made sense to have them all.This weakness meant the more important moments felt fake, or at very least unearned. The use of the WWI setting and famous moment is corny, the references/connections to other characters are clunky as usual, but what bothered me more was the way that themes were not delivered on as they could have been. More could have been made of the two Doctors being there - more could have been done to engage that reflective tone, and to bring it round to be a conclusion and decision to start afresh. At times it seems to be looking for this, but the show doesn't have the determination to go for it.
