i was really expecting something totally different.  Ever since i have never been a huge Kubrick fan.  I respect the fact that he is good but its just one of those things where you cannot connect.  I wish i could.

a few I didn't list but will have to second the motion on:

AI
Planet Of The Apes - remake
Gangs Of New York - stopped the movie right before the final bloodbath
MC Pee Pants

I couldn't disagree more vile. I went to watch this movie nothing anything about and I lOVED IT....
well in Peru was considered for some critics as one of the best films of 2001, so i was expecting for somethimg really great, and i found a movie with a narration excessively slow and soooo pretentious, the best was Isabelle Huppert (a great actress) and Benoit Magimel, but i didn't find that great and disconcerting movie everybody said it was

I can understand how someone could dislike A Clockwork Orange, but how could anyone with half a sense of humor not like Dr. Strangelove?  MY LORD...

Possibly the worst film I've ever seen.

I don't know.  I'm a funny guy, I like funny movies; I did not laugh, though.

The comedy for me is all in the viewings after the first. It grows. Ask me to review it sometime.

Yup, me too I guess. I'm not sure cause it was quite awhile ago that I saw it and I might have been too dumb to get a lot of the jokes. I'll definitely give it another shot though. Didn't laugh once when I saw it...not one single time. Some others...

-Dirty Pretty Things
-Gangs of New York
-Happiness
-The Matrix
-Mystic River (biggest of recent)
-Old School
-Phantom Menace
-Rear Window (yes, the original)
-Shallow Hal
-Storytelling
-To Die For (big van sant fan)
-The Wild Bunch

Same thing happened to me, first time that saw it didn't like it that much, by the second or third viewing thought it was a riot, mainly the scenes in the war room between Sellers & Scott and the Seller's phone conversation with the prime minister of Russia.

I assume you liked it, what was that worked for you and what didn't, if any?

Give it another shot, the scenes I mentioned above will make you laugh (I guess).

the guy who first made me want to be a director was tim burton. he was god. sleepy hollow was one of my favorite stories growing up. i could not wait to see the movie. opening night, the movie ended, i sat in the theater not knowing what to feel. then, opening night of planet of the apes, i could have gone to see the movie or i could have gone to hang out with my friends and get ridiculously trashed. i should have gotten trashed. that movie blew.

anyway, recently...
pirates of the caribbean was alright, but everybody was saying it was great when it just wasn't anything special. same thing with the ring.
bad boys 2 - i love the first, i nearly scraped my ear off during this one
hulk - nuff said
x2 - i guess i just wanted more
