I really disliked The Shining. I loved the book and went to see it thinking I'd love it, but really didn't even like it. Didn't like Jack Nicholson in it and didn't like Kubrick's change of focus to JN.Laura Chase said:I thought The Shining was good, but not amazing. It has amazing scenes, but as a whole it was just good. Kubrick really disappoints me often, The only movies I enjoyed were Eyes Wide Shut, A Clockwork Orange and The Shining. In my opinion, he's just not as good as everyone says. He and I are not on the same page, anyway.
Barry Lyndon, Dr. Strangelove, Lolita, Paths of Glory - all very famous and renowned movies, but in my opinion, they are all extremely boring.
