Excruciatingly dull and pretentious

Rating: 1/10 (19 July 1999)

I can't remember the last time I had to sit through something so dull and tedious. The dialogue was banal and the plot was non-existent. Sure, Tom Cruise is one of the cutest guys on the planet, and Nicole Kidman has a beautiful body, but I'm afraid that doesn't warrant sitting through three hours of this drivel. I see movies 3 or 4 times per week and it is extremely rare that I flat-out hate any, but I must be totally missing the Stanley Kubrick "vision" that everyone else is raving about.
