| Rich Alejandro | 95 | - It's only boring if you don't get the themes in it. Drug use, conglomerations of people and languages, mind control, conformity. And you'll never look at "Singing in the Rain" the same way again. | |
| Jeremy M | 95 | - I'm a sucker for a bit of the ole' ultraviolence. | |
| Jester Smiles | 95 | - One of the best, most disturbing movies around, with a really great perspective on behavioral psychology. | Comedy: 4 Sex Appeal: 4 Scary: 1 Rewatch: 9 |
| Sir M Hayes XIV | 90 | - one of my favorites. trippy great social commentary... Great book too, but a little hard to read the first 2 chapters cuz of the language they speak | |

| Chris Turner | 85 | - Brilliant acting by Malcom McDowell, but a bit boring | |
| Drezzy | 85 | - I think it's an excellent display of violence and the themes of youthful rebellion gone too far and how some people can't truly be "cured" of their ill will and government fuckery, but, with all of Kubrick's works, there are parts that, while beautiful (even in a grotesque form), are sometimes boring as sin. | |
