1940年的《独眼巨人博士》最让人难忘的是那种“捏把汗”的紧张感——当一群人被缩小到不足一寸，在实验室的桌腿间逃命，猫的爪子踩下来时，你几乎能听见自己心跳。 ☺。导演Schoedsack（《金刚》联合导演）擅用巨大道具和透视布景，让观众真切感受小人在巨物环境中的无助。尤其适合喜欢老派恐怖氛围的观众，那种用光影和布景营造出的密闭危机感，比现在的快速剪辑更让人揪心。前半段节奏偏慢，但一旦进入丛林实验室，那种被缩小的窒息感就上来了——当主角们发现自己只有巴掌大，面对一只普通家猫都像对抗史前猛兽时，我真的跟着屏住了呼吸。四位访客前来拜访，却发现自己被缩小到只有几寸高——原本温顺的兔子成了凶猛巨兽，一支铅笔成了撑杆跳的障碍。

　　"Dr. Cyclops" is known as one of the better "early sci-fi" films, made in '39 and released in 1940. (It is also in color.) But while the story has potential and there are some good moments, this is a very confused film.
　　The plot is simple - crazy mad scientist on some remote island can shrink animals, and wants to try it on humans. He manages this on a scientific team that came to check things out. They get angry, and the crazy scientist eventually gets really angry because his new shrunken subjects won't cooperate.
　　The thing is, the film doesn't seem to know if it wants to be a thriller, or a goofy movie. Dr. Cyclops (never called that but referenced to a Cyclops after one lens in his glasses breaks) looks cool in his "30's style sci-fi helmet" as he performs experiments and can be chilling at times. But there is so much "Disney-style goofy music" going on that it is hard to take anything seriously. The music belongs in a family comedy for the most part, and is played when the shrunken people do things like try to survive, and creep around the floor. Add that a few of them have pretty gruesome deaths and that just adds to the confusing atmosphere.
　　The FX aren't so bad but nothing special. The giant sets built are pretty impressive though. There is a scene where little fires are tossed at a real crocodile's head which probably made animal activists angry.
　　It also takes a long time for anything to really happen. This movie could have been done in a nice tight half-hour. Good for a viewing, but you probably won't watch again. The performance of the guy who plays Dr. Cyclops is definitely the main attraction.
