" I didn’t have a great memory of Forbidden Planet. When I saw it again - because somebody's trying to remake it - I realized why. It's not a good movie. Robbie the Robot's all right; I liked the beginning - and then they just got very static. I thought it was so fucking stupid. What it does is, maybe, tell us what times were like in the Fifties, how naive people were about psychiatry - the Monster from the Id! I just started giggling at that point. It would have been more interesting to have "

"Loosely based on 'The Tempest', this movie is one of the earliest classics in the sci-fi genre. More than 50 years later, it has aged very well."

"06 - favorite science fiction movie I love all those science fiction/monster movies from the 50's. 1956's Forbidden Planet has to be my favorite."

Movie Diary: 2011 (107 movies items)

"Dec 17 @ Download Sci fi classic that predates even Star Trek and was clearly influential on the series. The silly music is rather annoying and detracts from the dark atmosphere that develops in the second half of the movie. Could have been even better without it."
