Brilliant, simply brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 1999)

This is one of the funniest, darkest movies ever. The humor is pure genius, suttle at times, outrageous at others. The casting is excellent, especially Peter Sellers as Dr. Strangelove. A perfect stereotype "stolen" German scientist.
Although the effects are definitely outdated (the planes especially), the script is not. The humor still works: the womanizing general, the infamous war-room scenes, the precious bodily fluids.
I recommend this movie to anyone with a dark sense of humor or a pessimistic outlook on life. Dr. Strangelove should brighten your day. Though, the movie must be carefully studied in order to get the full effect.
We must all thank Mr. Kubrick for not going the serious route as originally intended. I would love to see the pie fight scene, which was initially intended as the ending, but the current ending is a little more high-brow.
