Worst Movie Ever Made

Rating: 1/10 (13 October 2007)

I knew what I was getting into with Kubrick, and I've either strongly liked or disliked every movie he's made.
This was a whole other experience.
This film was total garbage. To enjoy any aspect of this film you have to completely walk away from the concept that films should be enjoyed.
If when you pick up a movie, rather than popcorn, you prefer to buy a bag of broken stained glass from a orphanage window to eat while you watch it...than this is probably the show for you and ignore my post.
As for me, I like popcorn. And I like movies that are enjoyable on some level. Inspite of what appears to be a ton of movie critics want to tell you, this movie is not enjoyable, educational, or even deep.
First and foremost, it is long. Really long. Ridiculously long for as little as it ties to accomplish. And just when you think "my god, this film has been on for a week and half, surely it has to be over soon," it keeps going. Of the six people who came to my house to watch this movie, I was the only one that didn't walk out.
Most of the aspects of why this film sucks have already been discussed at length. I will tell you why I hated it most.
It wasn't the violence, I can handle that. I found it poorly incorporated (which was remarkable as it is the primary focus of the entire film).
It wasn't the artsiness. I can usually enjoy that in films.
What bothered me most was after I watched this film, I read a ton of reviews and internet analysis of this movie thinking that there has to be more to this than what meets the eye.
There wasn't. I actually got it.
There was little depth to what this movie was trying to say other than the kiddie pool deep discussion of the definition of morality, conformity, and behavior that a 4th grader could have picked up on.
I am not anti-violence. I am not anti-creative. I am anti-worthless. And this movie is worthless in every level I can relate to you.
The only people who will like this movie are those stuck up, smarter than thou, I am so much deeper than you that I urne to find stuff the rest of the world hates, snobbish pricks who have no friends and probably work at the video store you rented this from.
