The fall of a genius!

Rating: Null/10 (24 October 1999)

I was hardly as disappointed as I was when I saw 'MATRIX' when I left 'EYES WIDE SHUT'. Nobody would have expected Cruise and Kidman to be able to perform their parts worth a Kubrick, but not even Kubrick is worth himself with this movie. I really had big problems not to fall asleep 'cause of the boring story, that contains too many pseudo-dramatic and pseudo-erotic scenes and shows an orgy that may perhaps cause a sensation in the USA, but in the rest of the world, people have been told the facts of life. After all it's simply too long. The only positive image that 'EYES WIDE SHUT' gave me was the music, that expressed the mysterious mood, the rest of the movie was meant to express.
=> Stanley Kubrick IS dead!
