What are your thoughts on Stanley Kubrick?

Sadly, I think Kubrick had passed away before filming began. I wonder how different AI would have been with him at the helm. A bit darker, no?

Well from what I hear he didn't intend to direct it. He wanted to produce it and have Steven Spielberg direct. But still, agreeing with your sentiment, I think that some things may have been a little different had he been around to actively produce the film while it was shot and cut.
