Leave your thoughts about Forbidden Planet.
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherIf you've got an ounce of taste for crazy humor, you'll have a barrel of fun. |
| DVD ReviewFelix Gonzalez Jr.A cinematic marvel for the ages, Forbidden Planet possesses a look and feel that was far ahead of its time. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrEven as the SF cliches fall fast and heavy, this is great to look at, thanks to the sumptuous MGM sets and the fine animation and matte work by Walt Disney Studios. |
| Suite101.comRob HumanickThe tragicomic tone would have done the Bard proud, and at even only 98 minutes, Forbidden Planet is positively epic. |
| 7M PicturesKevin CarrThere's a reason this film is called the granddaddy of all science fiction. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewAn ingenious script, excellent special effects and photography, and superior acting (with the exception of Francis), make it an endearing winner. |
| Portland OregonianShawn VittThe film's amazing strengths easily outweigh the odd outbreak of hammery. |
| Lawrence Journal-WorldJon NiccumOne of the visual highlights of '50s science fiction |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsHere was outer space as only the lavish production values of MGM could imagine it, a journey to an alien landscape painted in bold Eastmancolor and stretched across a CinemaScope frame. |
| Entertainment WeeklyGlenn KennyIt’s quintessential ’50s male chauvinism, and Nielsen plays it with a man’s-gotta-do-what-a-man’s-gotta-do stiffness. |
