Not bad but way too overrated

Rating: Null/10 (28 March 2004)

This film was by no means bad. It just isn't great as everyone says. Why are these teen's are whatever they are beating/raping people? They have no motive. They're not poor. they live in a futuristic society without a gov't but that's no motive. And who and why are there cops if there's no gov't? There are so many plotholes in this movie it made me lose any enjoyment. So if there's all these plotholes, then how is this a masterpiece? Cause it's violent and has naked chicks and has one memorable scene(the film/cure scene)? The directing isn't great either. Kubrick definitely improves drastically later on and becomes a phenominal director, but this proves his amaturety at this point. Everything just has a corny look to it. I couldn't take any of it seriously. It was too tedious. This is the kind of movie I'd want to be dark and serious and disturbing. And the cheeze-ball music makes it even more rediculous. The last complaint is the horrible representation of a futuristic society. Some scenes look less futurstic than today's look and other's have an obviously fake futuristic atmosphere. OVerall, this movie is just....stupid is the only word. Not bad. Just stupid. Had it been done in the past ten years by Kubrick, I think this movie could've had much more merit and deserve to be overrated.
