Title: Vastly Overrated...
Review: I have never entered a theater or turned on a video machine intending to hate a Stanley Kubrick film, but invariably that's the reaction I leave with, particularly for this waste of time and film. "Ultra-Violence?" I've seen more disturbing scenes in Spider-Man comic books.Since nothing I can write is likely to tarnish the undeserved reputation afforded to this so-called "classic," I'll be brief: "A Clockwork Orange". (...)Not to disparage everyone who likes this movie, but this is the sort of pabulum that posers and pseudo intellectuals enjoy pontificating about. Of course, I have noted that the people who are truly passionate this movie tended to have seen it as a teenager, so perhaps there is something about it that resonates within the callow minds of (particularly) young men? I neither know nor care.
Is the review positive or negative?
