by deadmilkboy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 15 '08
Pros: Packs a lot of laughs into 70 minutes.
Cons: The movie has replay value, but the bare-bones DVD treatment doesn't help.

Tom Servo for President!

by mzkito , Mar 10 '00
Pros: two plots at once - the movie on screen, and the action in the "theatre". Extremely funny!
Cons: some of the segues are a bit over-the-top, but humorous none the less
I will never forget the first time that I stumbled upon the television show Mystery Science Theatre 3000 (or MST3K for short). I was in the hospital, having just given birth to my first son, and I did not know the local cable line-up in that town. After...

by lpmiller , Apr 17 '00
Pros: Funny, easy going movie to kill a couple of hours with
Cons: None with the movie itself, only with its fans.
Ah, springtime. When a nerd's fancy turns to going to a rundown theater to see a geek film.

by sampo24 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 02 '00
Pros: Extremely funny, good host segments
Cons: Too short, no TV's Frank
Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie was a long time coming. And it was definitely worth the wait. The movie was a step up from the TV show which at the time was still on Comedy Central. Now, unfortunately, it'll be leaving The Sci Fi channel very...

Turkey - it's not just for Thanksgiving anymore

by 32_Footsteps Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 24 '00
Pros: Classic lines, vicarioiusly enjoying what you always wanted to do
Cons: Too short and edited
There is something in me that really enjoys movies that are just beyond terrible. I think it's properly called "sadomasochism." There are bad movies that just bore you, like "Batman and Robin," and then there are the movies that are...

Welcome Dr. Meechum

by wickershamb , Jul 22 '01
Pros: It's MST3K with a bigger budget! All time great!
Cons: The absence of TV's Frank. No opening theme.
Oh man, it's been five years since the movie about bad big screen flicks, hit it's own big screen, and about 2 years since the television show disappeared, but the excitement factor is still alive and well in MST3K: The Movie.

Cynicism = Comedy

by RUPB , Mar 06 '00
Pros: Hilarious movie, Very well written
Cons: Lame Intervals in between presentations; the show is better
When I first spotted this film while browsing in the Comedy section of the video store, I thought to myself, "Has someone made a mistake? this movie says Mystery Science." I moved on and disregarded it. Well, a couple weeks later I fall upon...

MST3K movie absolutely hilarious

by Andrew_Hicks Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 03 '99
Pros: Laugh for laugh, one of the funniest movies ever
Cons: Short and with too many live-action interludes
All of us, at one time or another, have seen a movie so bad we started talking back to the screen and/or cracking jokes about it. The popular TV show "Mystery Science Theater 3000" has skewered over 100 Hollywood turkeys of yesteryear with...

Pros: VERY SILLY INDEED, some fantastic one-liners
Cons: too short!
"Hey, there were no puppets in this movie!" states Crow T. Robot, upon witnessing "Puppet wranglers" in the credits of this excellent comedy. It only is the tip of the iceberg on one of the most clever movies of all time.

MST3K: The movie let me down

by hzoi , Oct 31 '99
Pros: Not entirely unfunny

by jenzahara , Jan 08 '00
Pros: Funny
Cons: TV show is better

A Midwestern Classic with Cheese

by hazzah , Aug 15 '00
Pros: the wisecracks

Despite the Name, It Works Better Outside the Theater

by judd_zanig , Jun 05 '00
Pros: irreverent and witty
Cons: doesn't measure up to the best episodes of the series
Mystery Science Theater 3000, or MST3K, has to stand as one of the great television shows of recent times, an inspired revitalization of the old Saturday monster movie. Even before MST3K, the sheer incompetence of most of these low-budget...

Although disappointing, it isn't necessarily bad

by Codyp , May 22 '00
Pros: Good ol' MST3K, Trace Bealieu as Crow, improved set
Cons: No TV's Frank, disappoingly short, Mike instead of Joel, generally unfunny host segments
MST3K takes just about everything good about the cult TV show, and adds almost nothing. The additions include a more expensive set, a new and improved "door" sequence, and best of all, NO COMMERCIALS. Other then that, you've got yourself a...

Pros: Fellow MSTies rejoice! Great despite Gramercies mistakes.
Cons: Gramercie's mistakes
1 thing you can say is that this film followed the show perfectly (except for no theme but I'll get to that). One reason why that the movie had its flaws because the film was made screwed up by Gramercy (the show wasn't exactly treated with kid gloves...

MST3K the movie is the best to hit Hollywood!!!
by owlmoondapwap ,Apr 15 '05
Pros: Only two breaks, The theatre was bigger, They picked a science fiction movie.
Cons: No Joel, No MST3K theme song
When Bryan (creature666) first brought this over to our house to watch for the first time I thought it looked too bazzar. But during the last half hour of the movie, my stomach hurt from laughing. My favorite line was when Brac and Exitor (two alien scientist) were watching Cal, Ruth and another doc driving in a car and Exitor turned to Brac and Crow says "I outta hit you!". It was a great movie 4 stars all the way!!! To check out more of MST3K go to www.mst3k.org or www.mst3k.com !!!
