Didn't care for it

Rating: 3/10 (28 May 2002)

I know, I know, I'm in the minority on this one, but I just did not like this movie. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with artistic license or with symbolism, but this movie overdoes it completely.

I thought the movie started out great, very interesting in fact. When it started getting near the end it was just too odd and overly artsy and symbolic. Plus, with everyone talking about how great this film was, I expected something a little better.
I won't say that Kubrick is a bad director by any means. I really enjoyed The Shining and A Clockwork Orange. However this movie did not effectively balance the artistic side and the plot/storyline.
I'm glad I watched this movie but would not watch it again. I give it 3 stars out of 10.
