Pitiful Way For Kubrick To Finish

Rating: 1/10 (26 August 2007)

I have to concur with a lot of people here about being a fan of Stanley Kubrick's films....and being so disappointed with this effort. I mean, come on: what was this garbage? All the hype beforehand didn't help, along with Kubrick's reputation, so to sit through two-and-- a--half hours of this nonsense was ridiculous.
Frankly, I don't know one person in real-life who liked this movie. The only plaudits were the ones I read from the normally whacked-out film critics, most of whom never want to admit "they don't get it" or love a certain director no matter what he puts on screen. Many times, such as in this movie, there is "nothing to get." This is nothing but a nice parade of boobs on display - and even that got boring soon - and a lot of pretentious "art."
Don't believe all those reviews that remark how "thought--provoking"" this movie is, etc, nor belittle yourself if you walked out of the theater and thought, "huh?" Consider yourself normal, honest human beings. Only the phonies, those pseudo-intellectuals, will blabber on and on about the merits of this film. It had no merit, cheapened sex in a big way, and was sad swan song for Kubrick.
