Summary: Wohoo! Swearing!
Review: Great stuff..I only wish they picked a longer feature to mock. The movie is hands down great, five stars, but the four stars is directed towards the DVD. The picture is sub-par, the sound is less then great, and there is not so much as a theatrical trailer to be seen in the way of extras. C'mon guys! Give us SOMETHING! You're allmost better off just getting the VHS, but either way, you have to get the movie..it's just that great.

Summary: Watch this Next Sunday, A.D.
Review: All in all this was a fairly good movie. For the non-MST3K fan, it gave a nice little intro about why this guy Mike was up in space watching movies with these robots on the Satellite of Love. It also gave the non-fan a taste of what the show is all about.

Still, this wasn't MST3K's funniest moment. It was OK, but some of their shows were much more hilarious ("Pod People" and "Shorts" come to mind). I found myself chuckling at the movie, but not roaring uncontrollably with laughter as happens to me occasionally during the TV episodes.

And yet, if I'd have to rank this movie compared to all the shows, it would be in the Top 10 of the MST3K corpus. Their comments about "This Island Earth" started out quite funny, but as the time wore on and the movie wore down, they didn't have as much stuff to talk about.

Another thing that I noticed watching "MST3K The Movie" was that for some reason the writers felt the need to make the robots' language a bit more crass. I always thought that the MST3K brand of humor was sophistocated enough that it didn't need to go down to Beevis and Butthead level.

For all the bad things that I might be saying about this movie, there are as many good things. It's not the perfect MST3K movie, but still it's well above average. You'll have a good time watching this one, and if you like it, you should check out some of the funnier episodes.

Review: 1. Godzilla 1985 2. Godzilla '98 3. Lost in Space 4. Destroy All Monsters 5. Godzilla vs. Destroyah 6. MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000: THE MOVIE!

Yep, from my top 6 list your probobly assuming I'm a Godzilla fan, and your right! I can't wait for Rhino to release the Godzilla episodes of MST3K on tape.

But let's forget Godzilla for a minute and talk about MST3K. This Island Earth. Man, Mike and the 'Bots really nailed this one with their riffs, didn't they? It was hard piking a favorite, but I found on anyway! Excelent movie!

Favorite riff-Mike: "Is he wearing slacks?"

Summary: It's a Mystery that this the movie I waited for.
Review: It seems like a movie based on the exploits of the MST3K charters would work so well. They are all over the top personalities (for robots) and always have the wittiest observations on the horrible movies they watch. But as a fan of the now defunct show, I feel there is something missing from the film.

Of course there is no real story. It is just Mike Nelson floating up in space with robots being forced to watch bad movies by the evil Dr. Forrester. It is almost like a B movie itself, but with witty comments and better acting. What makes the show so great is often the comments they make on the films. The main characters (Mike, Tom Servo and Crowe) are visible watching the film in a theater and can be heard making wise cracks about how bad the movie is. Just like when you are watching a bad movie with friends. Unfortunately, the movie (which the Dr. claims is the worst around and might be right) doesn't give them much to talk about. The uesless "This Island Earth" isn't even bad enough to acknowledge. The story line of the bots breaking the spacecraft and fixing it is kind of funny and they do manage to make a few good wise cracks, but it isn't one of the best bashing. It is just like an average episode of the show. I would recommend getting a few episode as a cheap as you can and enjoying those instead. The film is still funny and witty. A marginal recommendation from me on the "Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie".

Summary: Shatner, Shatner, Nope, he's not in this one, we're safe.
Review: Famous last words before starting this movie. This was the first MST3K I saw and I became a Mistie that moment. I laughed so hard I cried at this movie. When I saw previews of this movie on the tape Sgt. Bilko, I wondered what it was. I rented it and loved it. Now I try and get what ever tapes I can get my hands on. Unfortunetly MST3K tapes run upwards of $20 so I have to budget myself until I can get a job this summer.

If like politicaly incorrect humor, bad movies, or even comidies (spelling?) then get this movie!

Summary: Perfectly good adaption from a show to a movie!
Review: I have seen many movies in my time, but this tops them all. The movie was hilarious, original, and just like the TV version. No matter who you are, you will enjoy this movie.

Summary: ...And to my Engish Media teacher, I say...
Review: This has got to be one of the funnest movies I have ever seen. It is also what made be a fan of MST3K. My Engish Media teacher (you know who you are) claimed it to be the worst movie ever made (I front of my class) but I say still it's is worth seeing.

Summary: This is the greatest!
Review: I've never laughed so much, sure the parts where they aren't watching the movie aren't that good, but you can't help but find the rest hilarious. You have to buy this movie.

Summary: Great Flick!
Review: I don't know where the editor gets off calling the main character "Jim", but his name is Mike Nelson. Anyhoo, this movie is one in a million! Unfortunately, there were some great host-segments that Gramercy made Best Brains cut, so the in-between sections aren't quite as good as a regular episode. But other than that, it's a Definite Buy!

Summary: A VERY Hillarious Movie
Review: I'm what you call a "MSTie". I've been one for 3 years now. I'm a huge fan of the show. The movie was absolutly hillarious. There wasn't a time where I wasn't laughing. The comments are great. If you're the kind of person who enjoys riffing movies that you watch, this is definatly for you.
