Pros: Cult classic...I guess.
Cons: Overrated, aimless, vile and disturbing.
Summary: I guess it must be a "cult" film because apparently a lot of people enjoy this tripe. I began watching A Clockwork Orange wondering why so many people hold it in such high regard. I really can't find much to praise about this movie. Most of it is just ... read more

Pros: Great acting, and direction, scenery is good, costumes are brilliant.
Cons: I find nothing wrong with this movie, it's just that good.

Pros: It's a classic

Pros: Malcolm McDowell did a fine job, in his portrayal of this ultra-violence loving sociopath.
Cons: Kubrick seemed to love to smother u with an engorgement of nakedness

Pros: Kubrick is a genius
Cons: It's only his SECOND best movie.
Summary: Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange (1971) is largely regarded as one of the best movies ever made, and I'm inclined to agree. For Kubrick, it was bit of an embarrassment: reviled for its extremely graphic violence, the original version wasn't shown in ... read more

Cons: Difficult at times to watch, many bad actors, modern score, some of the costumes

Pros: A genuinely funny film, cleverly disguised to distract the viewers' attention.
Cons: Of course, children won't get it -- but why should they have all the fun?
Summary: The idea that Stanley Kubrick filmed a comedy has probably seldom occurred to anyone in connection with “A Clockwork Orange” (1971). We have only to compare, say, “Dr. Strangelove” (1964) to realize that Kubrick’s comedies are ... read more
