Title: Kubrickian Vision Fails in Hands of Fantasy Pulpmeister.
Review: ....you could just about tell what Spielsberg took from Kubrick's storyboards and what is pure Steven Spielsberg. My problem with this moovy is that such a drama and collaboration would have gone over bigtime 10 years ago....pre 2K, dig? But certain things in the moovy seem forced. Jude Law doesn't seem to really form a bond with the Boybot (or is this the closest thing to bonding Mechas do?), the teddy bear was it supposed to be more humorous? Osment comes off as being creepy, period. Particularly in that scene where he's trying to mock his 'mom' eating and laughs at strands of noodles in his mouth.C'mon folks. Had Kubrick lived to flesh out his darker, thinking mans' vision, it would have been a masterpiece a la A Clockwork Orange or 2001. This product, however, failed to live up to it's great promise.
Is the review positive or negative?
