Timid and unfocused in its storytelling, The Island Of Dr. Moreau is more lackluster misfire than morbid curiosity.

Brando's performance is enormous fun, but it's not just a joke. He's hilarious and gently mesmerizing at once, and director John Frankenheimer savvily adjusts the tone of his movie to fit Brando's daft brilliance. Feb 26, 2018 | Full Review…

The movie keeps switching focus without ever getting its bearings, and when Brando exits earlier than expected, there's little but mayhem to fall back on. Jan 1, 2000 | Rating: 2/4

Roughly akin to watching a slow-motion train wreck in which the flames spread into the brush and become an out-of-control wildfire. What the hell happened? Aug 16, 2016 | Full Review…

It's not to say there's not a lot wrong with the film, but rather to suggest that the chief criticisms of it being strange and "a mess" aren't among them. Aug 19, 2012 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Amazingly, Kilmer delivers an odder performance than Brando. Creepy retelling. Oct 24, 2003 | Rating: 4/5

The most exciting characters are killed off too early, and what we're left with is a Satan's "Seasme Street." May 8, 2003 | Rating: 2.5/4

I'm sure it looked good on paper. That and Kilmer's frighteningly apt mimicry of Brando's voice are about the only positive things I can say. Mar 5, 2003 | Rating: 1/5
