Stanley Kubrick is the most overrated director of all time. SPOILERS!

2001 - This movie wasn't good at all. [spoiler] The first half is good with all the monkeys lol. But then they add HAL which occupies a large part of the movie but really doesn't add ANYTHING. Then the last part you see a bunch of colours for 20 minutes and then they're in a room for no reason. So in conclusion; first half=good and beautiful but second part pointless. [/spoiler]

Dr. Strangelove - Is this suppose to be a comedy? wtf???

Clockwork Orange - Haven't actually seen this one but I heard some people say it sucks.

He is overrated but The Shining was awesome. Spartacus was also really good.

Most overrated director is Quentin Tarantino.

Oh yeah The Shining sucks too!

You can play this game and insert any well-known, decorated director. How long before we see Sidney Lumet, Darren Aronofsky, Alfonso Cuaron and Almodovar?

Full Metal Jacket was a phenomenal film, in my opinion, especially given the year it was made. Ninja-Hippo

2001 is a horrendously boring film, but Kubrick is a FANTASTIC director still.

A Clockwork Orange is an amazing film, The Shining is classic, and Full Metal Jacket was purty good.

Where is BossPerson?

I'll give you that 2001: A Space Odyssey is probably the single worst move to ever be made. However, the rest of his works, especially Dr. Strangelove, which was glorious, make him, overall, a p. good director.

I didn't think 2001 was Boring. It's just that the 2nd half sucks

Yes. This movie p. much demonstrates the utter futility of movie elitists. A prerequisite for pretense ought to be superiority.

I hope you're joking. Either that or you're very stupid.

He's my favourite director, his attention to detail is amazing.

2001 was an awesome atmospheric experience, but yeah, the plot made no sense whatsoever. Why is HAL doing this stuff? Isn't explained at all until 2010 came out. Made perfect sense then, 16 years later.

As far as Kubrick, I liked Full Metal Jacket and Dr. Stangelove, but most of his stuff left me flat. Like The Shining. That did not work for me at all.

As far as the plot of 2001 goes, you should ask Arthur C. Clarke, not Stanley Kubrick.

No. You are wrong. Scorsese is far more over- rated.

That doesn't make it bad. I think the first half was beautiful, almost put me to tears. Then after that it was rubbish.

The first half had some cool sh!t, but the rest sucked so hard I can't call it a decent film by any metric.

True, but calling it an "average" film do enough to address the fact that it is ABSURDLY OVERRATED. Drastic times, drastic measures.

Oh yeah The Shining sucks too!

[QUOTE="charlesdarwin55"][QUOTE="toast_burner"]HAL is mankind's weakness, he knows that they will deactivate him and then he becomes desperate to survive, showing the most basic of animal instincts.

Two words, RED RUM

[QUOTE="toast_burner"]

[QUOTE="charlesdarwin55"] Yes yes yes. But what did it add to the plot? Nothing.charlesdarwin55

The scene at the end in the room represents the death and birth of new live. The man ages and dies and from him comes the star child.

[QUOTE="charlesdarwin55"][QUOTE="toast_burner"]It's the most important part of the plot. with out that part nothing that happened before would have any meaning

Why would not needing tools be the next step in evolution? That would just be a step back.

Yes and how did that add anything?

The starchild can breath and move through space without any aid, how is that a step back?

Besides if you get rid of HAL, what have you got? A bunch of monkeys and a artifact on the moon.
