So what?

Rating: 7/10 (2 April 2000)

Having waited such a long time to see this film, it really was a bit of a disappointment.
That would be a bit strong perhaps, it was good without ever getting to the levels of being anything special; although that is perhaps due to it being a victim of its own hype and being as dated as it now is.
Burgess' brilliant book was largely turned ho hum by one of the most over-rated directors of all time, and the main redeeming factor was the soundtrack and the performances of the supporting actors to the ever irritating Malcolm McDowell, who is now a part of that annoying band of celebrities who are famous for being famous, having done nothing any good since.
Worth seeing to judge for yourself, and the soundtrack is excellent.
