The most boring and pointless movie of all time!

Rating: Null/10 (20 July 1999)

This film is the number one example of false advertising in the movie industry. Let me say that there is nothing mysterious, sexy, erotic or otherwise interesting about this film. It is a true disservice to everyone to call this film a masterpiece just due to the fact that the director died before it's release and it stars two supposedly good actors. Somehow I feel that the critics would not be so kind to this film if Mr Kubrick were alive today. The fact that Kubrick was an outcast is very obvious from this movie. None of the scenes ring true and the overall production is extremely (I mean EXTREMELY) boring. A visit to the dentist is more erotic and exciting then this film. I feel ashamed to have been taken in by the hype and false advertising and actually paid full price to see this supreme dud. Are all the critics seeing a different movie then I am?? I wonder what the hoopla is about. Could it be the painful bad acting of everyone involved? (especially Cruise, Kidman, Pollock and Marie Richardson) The ludicrous and non sexy orgy scene, the absolutely pointless dragging on of scenes and about the worst music and dialogue every commited to film? I understand that Mr Kubrick is held as some kind of genius by many film students, but come on! He obviously never met a real person or never had a real conversation and sadly it shows in what I could say was the biggest movie going disapointment of my entire life.
