(1 - 12) of 12 OFCS Rating: 83% Fresh Page   1   2.5/5 "The strictly formulaic direction and by-the-numbers script leach any true drama or humanity out of the bulk of the film, consigning it in the end to the category of interesting and strangely influential oddity."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Barsanti 2.5/5 "The strictly formulaic direction and by-the-numbers script, however, leach any true drama or humanity out of the bulk of the film."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Barsanti A "Marvelous special effects."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 8/10 "Even on technical levels, Forbidden Planet is a successful film. Special effects were best of its age, and even today some of the scenes might impress the viewers."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Dragan Antulov "A cinematic marvel for the ages, Forbidden Planet possesses a look and feel that was far ahead of its time."   DVD Review   Felix Gonzalez Jr. 3.5/4 "Some of the special effects (revolutionary for its time) may look tacky by today's standards but its intelligent storyline makes up for it."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   James O'Ehley 7/10 "...with minor reservations, I'd say Forbidden Planet remains one of Hollywood's better sci-fi accomplishments. (50th Anniversary Edition)"   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3/5 "Equal parts cheesy 1950s sci-fi and intelligent, if misguided, grappling with the idea of limitless progress."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 4/5 "The gadgets and special effects seem almost quaint to us now, but the movie is still fun to watch for younger children and it still raises some important questions for older ones."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 3/4 "leslie and robby kickin it old school"   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson B+ "Intriguing, perhaps overrated sci-fi classic that borrows from The Tempest and anticipates 'Star Trek' — but its driving fears are the 'monsters from the id.'"   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 3/4 "Its most interesting moments are mired in human frailty--in sex, death, betrayal, jealousy, and intoxication."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 12) of 12 OFCS Rating: 83% Fresh Page   1
