Rate The Episodes


Reptilicus: It was okay but nothing special. Wasn't blown away.

Cry Wilderness: This one was pretty dull.

The Time Travelers: This one was the first really good one. I think because the film lent itself well to the format. Danny in particular (who turns up again in Avalanche).

Avalanche: Wasn't impressed.

The Beast of Hollow Mountain: boring until the monster finally shows up.

This is as far as I've got. Will update when I watch the next one.

I'll have a list soon.

Was very unimpressed with Avalanche. You had Rock Hudson, Mia Farrow and Robert Forester to riff on for crying out loud! They dropped the ball big time.

Starcrash - not all that great. Only okay in my opinion.

The land that time forget - I enjoyed it for the most part.

The loves of Hercules - pretty dull.

The standard of MST3K riffing is usually dependent on how silly and laughable the film is. Honestly, I think they're picking poor films. Choose more terrible ones.

Ye, somewhat serious tone in the movies. Such as Avalanche. To bad this movie could've been riffed so much better given the caliber of actors that were in it. Plus it screamed "1970s". Something Mike Nelson and crew would have ripped apart.

Yongary: only average.

Wizards of the Lost Kingdom: this one was pretty good.

Wizards of the Lost Kingdom II: not that great.

Carnival Magic: only okay.

The Christmas that Almost Wasn't - yawn.

At The Earth's Core - okay.

All in all, not spectacular. I think there's a diamond in the rough though.

So a couple of the movies I have watched the original - The Time Travelers and The Land that time forgot.
And I actually thought both were pretty good B movies.

The Time Travelers was actually much better than I expected.

The MST3K:3000 Return takes on them were actually funny as well. Probably the only funny ones in the entire lot. I'm not talking like really funny but you'll get a chuckle now and then. Just one scene really made me lol which was in The Land That Time Forgot where the German captain says something like "We'll rendezvous in one hour" and the voice over says "or the pizza's free". Now, see, that is funny. But rest of it was just them trying way too hard, falling flat with very little chemistry or comedic timing or good dialog choice.
