You make a good point about Kubrick Jetée, and it prompted me to look at some figures to find out whether or not I do think he's overrated. I compared my marks out of ten for his films to the IMDB score, of the eight Kubrick films that I've watched so far. Compared with the thousands of IMDB voters I underrated five and overrated three (Lolita, A Clockwork Orange and The Shining). Over the eight films the average IMDB score is 8.16 and my average score is 7.25. So now I can say with confidence and with statistics to back up my reasoning that yes, I do think Stanley Kubrick is overrated - but only by 0.91 of a mark out of ten.
