Detestable Kubrick social commentary I hold in high disdain.

Rating: 1/10 (28 October 2003)

It seems to be very en-vogue to like this movie and have favorable things to say about it, but I care not for such status labels or the opinions of others concerning my tastes in movies. Therefore, I will speak my true thoughts on the subject of theater, since I have a solid background where movies are concerned.
This was a work of art, true enough. It was bold and insightful, if muddled and incoherent at times. Kubrick's genius will live long after he did.
That having been said, this movie glamorizes wanton drug use, rape, and senseless violence; uses a language which the viewer has no hope of ever understanding; and epitomizes what's WRONG with our society. Some would say that's what makes it great. I say, it's 137 minutes wasted from my life that I will never get back, thanks to the 5-minute boyfriend of an ex nightmare-in-law, and his insistence that I watch this piece of garbage.
Do yourself a favor. See it; just so you can say, "Yes, I saw it. It was HORRIBLE and STUPID!" Other than that, there is no reason to bother with this film.
I give it a 1.0/10.
