Very good but over-rated, read on!

Rating: 7/10 (15 May 2002)

Very good movie, some really interesting and thought provoking parts, but overall not amazing, like some poeple think. I'm not one of those 'brought up on MTV' people who can't stay focused for more then 15 seconds without an explosion. I enjoyed this movie and found it thought provoking but too drawn out. Some of Kubricks other movies, clockwork orange as my favorite, are also well directed and much more interesting. In Kubrick's defense, I can see that the effects in the movie, in '68, were likely awe inspiring but in time have unfortunately lost much of their splendor. Also, im sure many of you who do love this movie love it legitimately and everyone has and is entitled to their own opinion, some of the movies I love are not appreciated by many people, but I beleive that alot of people just say they love this movie so that they can seem more intelligent then the average movie viewer, who doesn't understand this movie. This can be seen in the similarity of most of the positive reviews for this movie. In conclusion, it is a good movie, but it is over-rated.
