Pitiful last effort from an otherwise brilliant man

Rating: 1/10 (5 March 2000)

I've seen most of Kubrick's films (Dr. Strangelove, Clockwork Orange, The Shining) and I really enjoyed them. But what the hell was this about? Kubrick was a brilliant man but he was not a god. I think people are just afraid to admit that Kubrick is capable of making a bad movie. Well Eyes Wide Shut proved beyond a doubt he can make a bad movie. I tried very hard to keep and open mind throughout this movie, I was just waiting on that "moment" when all the boredom I had endured would finally pay off. It didnt happen *sigh* Oh and to top it off the "1940's Frankenstein music" made it even more unbearable. So if you want to be a sheep and like it just because its Kubrick go ahead, but please don't keep your MIND WIDE SHUT!!
