January 10, 2010Probably the most solid example of a movie defined by it's performances, and in this case, by the screen persona of his main actor. Without Malcolm McDowell this would had look just strange and a bit forgettable, very well directed mind you, but not with the same energy.

September 20, 2009After a second viewing, I regret everything I said about it the first time. But, still, it's not my cup of tea.

September 11, 2009I wrote a paper on this in college. I don't remember what it was about. I also dont remember much about the movie. I know this is shameful, given that it's a classic and all. Whatever. I got an A, that was my main concern. I'll give it three stars for that.

September 4, 2009This film is a classic but maybe for all the wrong reasons. It's a contemporary warning in the style of Orwell but with out any of his credibility or reasoning. Still, you can't blame Kubrick for that, he adapted the story brilliantly and gave it its unique style that has never s...( read more)

August 3, 2009I first saw this movie three years ago and I have been in love with it (and Stanley Kubrick) ever since. I never get tired of seeing this movie. Why it remains so underappreciated (at least by "casual" movie viewers) is beyond me. Everything is great; acting, direction, cinematog...( read more)

February 8, 2010Stanley Kubrick's best for sure...
"Violent, cynical, frightening but sarcastic and comic at the same time..."
One of the best performances ever by Malcolm McDowell... -

February 6, 2010Come back & do a "proper" R/V.
***Don't forget to find that old LP of the original soundtrack (by ?Carlos Someone?......?died of a brain haemorrhage?.... I think.)*** -
February 5, 2010Kubrick was a genious, he turned violence in art and filmmakers like Tarantino really owe to this film. It's shocking and powerful, an extraordinary motion picture.

January 27, 2010This is the worst movie I have ever seen. The violence committed against elderly people is horrible to watch. When this came out in the movie theaters, I wanted to walk out, but my date did not. One of the perpetrators of the horrible deeds totally gets away with it. The theme of this movie is just too horrible to think about. A waste of film, it should be shredded.

June 6, 2009I love this movie so much! Alex DeLarge is the greatest villain ever! The history is amazing!
My Review in spanish :
A mí me pareció una excelente película. La actuación de Malcolm McDowell es muy realista.
La película La Naranja Mecanica es genial porque se creó un lenguaje exclusivamente para la película y por el tema del control mental, que le dió el título a la obra. La película es muy futurista.
Lo que tomaba Alex DeLarge no era un simple vaso de leche, el Moloko Plus era una leche con droga que lo preparaba para la ultra-violencia. Obra maestra. -
April 21, 2009problaly the only story I've know that the movie is better than book. Sorry for Burgess's book fans, but Kubrick "enlighten" (oh yeah)the hole scene, characters, plot.
Whata great movie

February 4, 2009anyone know anything about the impending remake? please tell me the rumors aren't true!

October 22, 2008If you didn't "get" this movie (note: if you thought it sucked, you didn't get it) read the book. Just do it. The significance of the political and moral themes is MUCH more prominant, especially when you include the last chapter, which wasn't included in the movie and isn't in some of the older versions of the book. Make sure it has 21 chapters (the 21st was edited out when it was released in the US).
