Unfortunately, I don't think Rise of the Cybermen holds up very well. There are far superior Cybermen stories out there that get into the horror of these characters. The Doctor and Rose feel underplayed here as the attention is kind of on Pete's World and introducing us to the Cybermen. It's not terrible content but it feels like it is trying a little too much with too little resources. Alternate universes is a neat idea, but marrying them to the Cybermen in their introduction feels, in hindsight, like a mistake. It feels like the effects are pretty underwhelming and even dorky at times but the Cybermen do look cool enough, I suppose. I'm sure I'll have more to say when I get around to Age of Steel.
