Laughable

Rating: Null/10 (8 February 2003)

Kubricks' 'masterpiece' achieves his career ambition - in it he produced an art-house movie for those too stupid too appreciate real art-house movies. A humourless sequence of pretty pictures hiding the blandest of ideas. Nice performance by HAL almost rescues some respectability but the woeful nature of the rest finally wears one down. The most overrated movie of the most overrated director ever.
