Not 'harsh', just middling. A 1 would be 'harsh' and would mean
'stinker'. 'V' was nowhere
near being a stinker.
For really groundbreaking modern film, I would give '
2001' and '
A Clockwork Orange' 4 stars. I would also give
'Five Easy Pieces' (1971) a '4'. Alfred Hitchcock's
'Vertigo' (1957) and
'Psycho' (1960) are a four in my 'book'. So is
'The Graduate', (1967) and
'The Godfather' series. Every decade has it's winners. I like catching the silent films Sunday at midnight on TCM. However, in any era, few flims rate a '5'.
Remember, all film reviews, no matter who writes them, are ultimately subjective - that is, one person's opinion. You take them as a guide, not the final word. Even mine.
