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.
