Brando and Kilmer are both totally off their rockers in this. Kudos to Frankenheimer for just finishing this flawed, but slightly interesting film.
Stan Winston's make up is also incredible.
On a remote ISLAND in the South Pacific, the balance OF nature has been upset by the experiments of DR. MOREAU... with the key of science he's unlocked the gates of hell.
Great cast, stupid film! The making of this film is far more interesting than the film itself. It goes down as being one of the most ?difficult? productions ever.
Despite having some good actors and a potentially good story, this adaptation of H.G. Wells' novel of the same name, doesn't really go anywhere.The sci-fi aspect of the story is definitely there, but the movie fails to take full advantage of it. In the end, this film feels li

Unintentionally funny because of Marlon Brando and his mini-me's weird costumes and acting. A curiosity of a movie which seems like an unnecessary remake, since the '76 original was entertaining and advanced enough. Val Kilmer is flat in this movie. The animal effects are decent.... read more
Didn't even make it all the way through this. I'm a huge fan of the original "Island of Lost Souls" so I thought this was utter crap. Charles Laughton ran circles around Brando (and that's saying something). Plus the little red guy freaked me out.
Don't remember much from this movie, only that it was incredibly cheesy and bad.
Went to the cinema and had to sit through this piece of crap. A huge wobbling Brando bores you stupid and Val Kilmer just irritates. Avoid like the clap.
An often fascinating mess, but a mess all the same.
There's the obese Brando pretending to be God while dressed in gauzy white robes like a demented pope Full Review
Amazingly, Kilmer delivers an odder performance than Brando. Creepy retelling.
In its final third, the movie goes to hell in more ways than Frankenheimer intended.
The most exciting characters are killed off too early, and what we're left with is a Satan's "Seasme Street."
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.
