MY OPINIONS!
This is a fantastic DVD for the end of the Series, and a fantastic send-off for Chris! The humungous Dalek Emperor on the front of the DVD cover instantly lets you know trouble is brewing!
For me, Boom Town was not scary, but rather amusing! As Margarate, Blon made me laugh, just the whole character about her was classic! I think the fact that the Doctor was supposed to be on a date with her was just brilliant! And Billie's line, "She's an egg!" cracked me up every time!
BadWolf/PartingOfTheWays was spectacular. I loved the way we as viewers could relate to the gameshows ie Big ...
Advantages: it's cute and funny Disadvantages: not much in the way of extras
get the small Josh's clothes on (he ended up stealing his Dad's) and the reaction of Josh's Mum when she finds the big Josh in the house.
It was a "nice" film, some scenes are really funny, some rather poignant. It's not a classic like the ever popular Forrest Gump, (a firm favourite in our house) but a pleasant way to pass a couple of hours.
No one would buy this DVD for the extras. All they give you is the cinema trailer for the film lasting a little over two minutes. ...
