Just so...so bad

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Simply astonishing episode. Clearly one of Matt Smith's best ones. This piece is full of emotion and we see Matt Smith being the doctor for one last time. Moffat clearly had many ideas he wanted to carry out, and the episode might be just too short for that. There would've been material for a full movie but instead it is all squeezed in one episode. However the episode itself works as a lucid ensemble and it made me laugh as much as it made me cry.Wonderful story with wonderful acting. I think Matt Smith gave his everything in this episode and this is the kind of Matt Smith I want to remember. The regeneration itself is different this time around. Without spoiling anything, let's just say, that you shouldn't expect anything too discreet. Definitely one of the best doctors is now history and it's Capaldi's turn to win people's hearts.

Once again Moffat has graced Doctor Who fans with the same regurgitated, stale refuse that he seems to think the public wants. Ever since he became the primary writer on the show great plot has been substituted for quick fixes and high-tech special effects, which has led to the borification of the show. It would seem that he is hellbent on ruining a show that has stood the test of time by making it more mainstream. It's time that they had more than one writer again, because Moffat is obviously not up to the task and if things continue as they have been then I don't see the show having much of a future left. In essence this episode ended up being a mundane mixture of Moffaty laziness wrapped in moldy, three-week old bacon.

This has become one of the most loved/hated episodes under Matt Smith. And i myself LOVED almost every minute of it (That 'lets kill the Daelks'bit as too much for me. But the way the episode started followed, the way Matt Smith carried through the craziness and that tear jerking ending made me list this as a good one. Now, as i have just mentioned, this episode gets a little bit crazy. They attempted to wrap up numerous plots in one fell swoop and it gets out of hand on numerous occasions. Yes, this feels rushed and yes it could and should have been done as two part special. But this is Doctor Who we are talking about.I, as a newer Who fan who became a fan at the start of Matt Smiths turn, was very happy with this episode. I think it may take a couple watches to get everything but it is worth the watch.

Technically, that was a spoiler, because that's what happened in this episode.It was an over-saturated mess in which everything happened and nothing mattered. People popped in and out without purpose, old props made cameos without consequence. Plot twists clearly marked RECYCLE get tossed in the trash bin after very, very brief use.Pacing was non-existent. Nothing the characters do or have happen to them (and believe me, a lot of things happen to a lot of characters) means anything at all. You can tell Moffat was trying to make it seem tragic, but he glosses over everything so haphazardly that nothing -- absolutely nothing -- sticks.It was like watching an hour-long movie trailer. I'd like to believe the episode was written by the marketing department.
