Rating:  - Tobor the Great
Excellent 1950's B&W sci-fi. I haven't seen "TOBOR the GREAT" since I was a child. What a classic!
Rating:  - Definitely a kid's flick
Believe it or not, I saw this film when it was almost new. Yeah, that long ago. But I always remembered it as I thought the "robot spelled backward" thing was clever. So, after all these years, I needed to get it.
First, expect to see some familiar faces. Charles Drake played the sherrif in "It Came from Outer Space. He's the star of this one.
William Shallert was the bad guy in "Man from Planet X" and a diplomat of sorts in Star Trek's "The Trouble with Tribbles."

Rating:  - Tobor the Average
My friend and fellow sci-fi fanatic have our own personal "wish lists" of films we've always wanted to see. Well, Tobor has topped my list for the past 20 years or so.

Rating: - Tobor flies again.
the movie is excellent and I look forward to enjoying it for many years,and I hope to keep it around for posterity.
Rating: - One of the best kids robot b-movies.
Tobor is Robot spelled backwards. Invented by a scientist (Taylor Holmes) for the space program, Tobor is befriended by the scientist's grandson, played by Billy Chapin (who appeared in the Christmas episode of Dragnet, the one in which someone stole a statue of Jesus from the church, and is the brother of Lauren Chapin, who played Kathy on Father Knows Best). But foreign spies are after Tobor to turn his technology to evil uses.
This is one of the best Robot movies for kids from the 1950s, ... Read More
