It was slow and fairly boring at times, but I expected that going in, so it really didn't bother me all that much.
I never found this movie boring at all even during scenes like the space warp scene. 2001 was the first to show me that minimalist art films truly are unique and that you don't need common essentials like dialogue or a steady pace to make something compelling. You just have to let yourself get sucked in. I could write a huge essay on how important this movie is to my love of films.
P.S. This is one of the best movies to watch while high if you are into that sort of thing.
And as others have said, ACO is probably one of Kubrick's most overrated but not bad by any means. I don't think he has made a single bad film that I've seen of his.

As far as having to RW to understand what Alex is saying in ACO, that's typical. But Kubrick kept it true to the book in that aspect. That's one of the best parts of the movie. After awhile, if you watch it enough times, you actually understand every bit of what he's saying.
As far as the beatings being fake, the movie was already provocative enough. I can live with what it is.
2001 is an awesome movie, too. I just prefer ACO.
Viddy well little brothas. Viddy well.
