Summary: Horrendous!
Comment: This movie represents 2 hours of my life that I wish I had back! Two hours that I could have been dusting my house or listening to Kenny G! If zero stars were an option, that's what I'd give it. I just kept wishing it were over, but out of sheer stubborness I finished watching the entire thing (not a prudent move)! Thank God I checked it out from the library and didn't waste 4 dollars to rent it! Maybe in 1972 it would have been something to rave about (cinematography, score, blah, blah, blah) but it is terribly dated and I can think of a dozen classier ways to get the moral of the story across than this! Maybe if you're in film school you may get a shred of something worthwhile out of it (maybe not), but for the majority of us who aren't, it's a complete waste of time!

Summary: First time to see it.
Comment: Honestly I had been told several things about this movie and went into it with expectations. I am happy to say my expectations were exceeded by this film. It was fabulous, disturbing, frightening, darkly funny, and more plot driven than I was led to believe. It's a great flick!

Summary: Interesting take on the pshyche of a deviant
Comment: I saw this film several years ago for the first time on DVD. To hear it was coming out on Blu-Ray was nice. However the Blu-Ray edition is not all it's cracked up to be. The picture is not as great as other Blu-Ray titles that have been retored and given special treatment. Unfoutunatly it look like this film did not undergo any restoration teqniques at all. It is just a slight touch better than DVD as far as film quality ect...
Thus my 4 star rating. As far as the fil goes- hey it's Kubrik and it's good!.

Summary: 3 stars out of 4
Comment: The Bottom Line:
A somewhat incohesive picture, A Clockwork Orange never takes time to illustrate what it really means (case in point: the title remains entirely ambiguous); that being said, however, it's interesting and daring enough to be consistently engaging even if the director skips over the message.

Summary: Long time, no see.
Comment: Been a while since I saw this movie (30yrs).
Forgot how violent it is. Had me stunned for a moment or two.
The props are somewhat old fashioned, but the style, story, acting, soundtrack and photography is superb. The BR transition is not to bad.
A collectors item well worth the money.

Editorial Reviews:

A jolting tale of crime and punishment stars Malcolm McDowell as a young neo-punk who becomes the guinea pig for a state-sanctioned cure of his tendency toward ?the old ultraviolence.
