The Island of Dr. Moreau
We live here in a world of drama and action where the story is told about the English negotiator (David Thewlis) who faces something strange in his life. That story began when that man was stuck in the tropics with a mad scientist (Marlon Brando) who makes half-human monsters. Well it seems that in the end he will try to stop this before destroying the world.

Amazingly, Kilmer delivers an odder performance than Brando. Creepy retelling.

The most exciting characters are killed off too early, and what we're left with is a Satan's "Seasme Street."

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.

Uneven; definitely has its moments.

An often fascinating mess, but a mess all the same.

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?

There's the obese Brando pretending to be God while dressed in gauzy white robes like a demented pope

Muddled effort.

In its final third, the movie goes to hell in more ways than Frankenheimer intended.
January 01, 2000
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.

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.
