True Disappointment

Rating: Null/10 (24 April 1999)

Now what the hell is this? For years, I hear about this movie, hushed in whispers like it was an underground illegal drug, the most violent horrible movie ever.
Finally I get off my butt and actually RENT the thing, and what does it offer in "ultraviolence" and gore? NOTHING! Oh the rape scene? It was like 5 minutes! Not even the stuff they showed Alex to brainwash him was very shocking at all. Hell no, this movie had hardly any violence! If you want to see REAL ultra violence, watch Fist of The North Star (animated). That is the greatest movie ever. So I was disappointed. But I wouldn't let that be the judge of the movie. So people blew the shock value of it all out of proportion? So what, it was still a good, entertaining movie, right?
HELL NO, the thing was BORING. It was worth watching, no doubt, to see what would happen next, but still. It wasn't exciting, it wasn't suspenseful or captivating. All it had going for it was the ultraviolence and shock value, but that turned out to be all blown out of proportion.... not even. In fact I now consider all that I heard about the movie to be LIES. That's how far from the truth all the rumors about the movie are.
Oh well, at least now I can say I've seen the stupid thing.
