Personally, I thought Planet of the Dead was very good, or at least extremely entertaining. Sure, it's not the best episode of Doctor Who to ever air but it's more than sufficient. Now I can see that a few people wouldn't like this, and I suppose it is quite similar in tone to quite a few other episodes. However, there still is a feel of magic to it, and anyone who outright hates it must be rather...stingy.
The beginning was splendid, and a fun, ridiculous way to open the episode. David Tennant was, as usual, on top form and Michelle Ryan was brilliant as Lady Christina de Souza. It was a huge pity that she didn't stay on to accompany the Doctor. The episode was witty, entertaining, and action packed, just as Doctor who should be. There wasn't much heavy material except for the end prophecy, which leaves you with a sense of foreboding as you know David Tennant's time as the Doctor is coming to an end. Overall, GREAT!
