More Over-Hyped Fluff from Kubrick

Rating: 5/10 (6 March 2000)

After seeing a number of Kubrick films, I still fail to see why many consider him such a genius. Eyes Wide Shut is enjoyable only for the ample sex and nudity which dominates the film. Like many of his other films it meanders its way through a murky story that seemingly is going in circles. Then all of a sudden the movie just ends. There are not too many movies today that can bomb at the box office with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in starring roles. The movie is not bad but it is far from a "masterpiece".
