You know the background to this already.
Stanley Kubrick started the project, aiming to bring into focus the meaning of being human, as well as studying the consequences of prejudice, even if those being persecuted happen to be android in origin.
Then the selfish swine went and died.
Spielberg took charge, and ended it in one of the most tedious, schmaltzy ways imaginable.
Over-long and pretty damn dull throughout, this is not a fitting epitaph for the great man.
