Never understood the appeal, myself. But I think its just my nature to not be able to enjoy something being done badly. I’m a perfectionist.

You probably miss the point. “Forbidden Planet” was extremely innovative for 1956. It was the first sci-fi movie in color, it had an unheard of budget of 1.9 million dollars, the Robby the Robot costume alone cost 50,000 dollars to construct, it was the first movie to use a totally electronic synthesized music and sound track.

If you hold it up to it’s respective era, it was almost perfect.
