Based on the information from the website
[invalid URL the tomb of the cybermen doctor who
ON Chakoteya.net], here's a review of
Doctor Who: The Tomb of the Cybermen:

Story

The TARDIS lands on the planet Telos,
where an archaeological expedition
is unearthing a tomb containing deactivated Cybermen.
The Doctor (Second Doctor) and companions Jamie and Victoria
soon discover the Cybermen are not as dormant as they seem.
The narrative focuses on the struggle for survival
as the Cybermen seek to convert the humans into their own kind.

Review (Based on Summary):

Classic Cybermen Encounter: This serial features
the classic design of the Cybermen as the main threat.
This could be a highlight for fans of these iconic enemies.

Unearthing a Threat: The discovery of an ancient evil adds
an element of mystery and suspense to the story.

Limited Character Development (Based on Summary): The summary
doesn't give much detail about the development of the Doctor,
Jamie, or Victoria in this serial.

Possible Weaknesses (Considering Limited Information):

Classic Who's Production Values: Special effects in classic
Doctor Who were limited by the era's technology. The depiction
of the Cybermen and the tomb setting might not be as realistic
by modern standards.

Slow Pacing: Classic Doctor Who sometimes featured
a slower narrative pace compared to modern iterations.

Overall Thoughts (Limited Scope):

"The Tomb of the Cybermen" presents a classic Doctor Who
experience with the Cybermen as the antagonists.
The unearthing of an ancient threat adds intrigue.
However, the potential for dated special effects
and slower pacing could be drawbacks.

Would I Recommend Watching It?

For Fans of Classic Doctor Who: 6/10
(Likely worth watching if you enjoy stories
with the Second Doctor and the Cybermen.
The unearthing of an ancient threat offers a unique twist)

For Fans of Modern Doctor Who: 4/10 (The Cybermen
and the concept of an ancient evil might hold some interest,
but the potential for dated effects and slower pace could be
less appealing)

Here are some additional points to consider that might help you decide:

If possible, try to find reviews that mention the special effects
used for the Cybermen and the tomb setting.
This can help you gauge how they might hold up today.

Classic Doctor Who had a different style than the modern series.
If you're new to classic Who, consider watching other stories
featuring the Second Doctor to get a feel for the era's
aesthetics and storytelling before diving
into "The Tomb of the Cybermen".

I hope this helps! While "The Tomb of the Cybermen"
features classic elements that fans might enjoy,
the potential for dated production values is a consideration.
