  1. The film, in its early going, also has a nice light humor about it, and an engaging, albeit tragic, love story.
  2. 60
    The Time Machine is, for the most part, a handsome, pleasant entertainment.
  3. 38
    A witless recycling of the H.G. Wells story from 1895, with the absurdity intact but the wonderment missing.

    Dumb, dumb, dumb. Fun to watch, but the acting was about the same quality as Barney, the kids' show, and the plot has holes that are miles wide. Some good effects. The last 1/3 is especially lame. Anybody know what Jeremey Irons said in the climax scene????? I replayed it 5 times and still couldn't understand him. Expand
