The problem with Eyes Wide Shut was the resolution. I felt the whole third act just seem rushed and uninteresting, compared to the first two parts of the movie. It probably wasn't the best note for Kubrick to go out on, although I didn't think it was bad. I actually think Barry Lyndon was worse, simply because Ryan O'fuckin Neal was the lead in that, and he's a pretty bad actor in general (except for Paper Moon). In fact, I'll go so far as to say that Kubrick after A Clockwork Orange, none of Kubrick's movies were "amazing". Yeah, I know people will say the Shining and Full Metal Jacket, but Shining wasn't bad, I actually like it, but could've been handled better, and Full Metal Jacket should've been told through flashbacks instead of straight. And this is coming from someone who thinks Kubrick is one of the best directors ever.

Another movie that's good, but overrated, and for all the wrong reasons;

Being There

What a lousy note for Peter Sellers to end on. Basically the gist of the story is that Sellers is a gardener who has literally spent his entire life as a gardener for a wealthy man who has recently died. Sellers seems to have some sort of mental disability (he doesn't convey any character or emotions whatsoever, think Data from STTNG) and isn't very socially inept and spends most of his time watching TV. After he's forced out of the mansion, he wanders the streets all day before he is mistaken for being a wealthy businessman. The movie then proceeds to tell the same joke over and over, about how everything Sellers says is mistaken for something with more structure behind than what he actually meant. There's even a moment at the end where he's being considered as President (since no one actually knows who he is, so why not?) and even walks on water.

What. The. Fuck? This movie wasn't so much funny as it was actually quite disturbing.

I for one, HATE most comic book adaptations, you know why?

Because you almost always cannot take a comic book and literally translate it to the big screen, it doesn't work. There are exceptions to the rule, but for the most part, you have to take away a lot of the theatrics that is in most comic books, and when you do that, you piss off the fanboys, and when you don't, you have a silly stupid movie.

So people can complain all they want about how Batman doesn't "feel" like a comic book movie because it's "too real", because we don't have a CGI Clayface or Joker wasn't using Smilax, or we didn't have Harley Quinn with a 3 waist and size E tits dancing around Joker, because fanboys like that nonsense. That shit belongs in the comic books, I could care the fuck less how "close" it felt, as long as the character's personalities were treated correctly.

How could you like the Eric Bana Hulk? Ang Lee should be banned from making movies after that shit.

Speaking of overrated, Ang Lee. What a hack!
