Like a stale and boring version of the first half of A Clockwork Orange

I saw this on Mystery Science Theatre 3000, I guess that's what made it possible to watch. The acting is terrible, the camera angles are dreadfully boring, the editing is weak and the music is rather lame. And the judge's everlasting monologues! I just wanted it to end, but it lasted on and on and on... I rank that one of the most boring moments in movie history, ever.

The whole deal with the girls running round robbing, raping and eventually killing, its kind of like in A Clockwork Orange, except of course, its nothing like Kubricks masterpiece, but who'd expect that from Ed Wood?

This is the second Ed Wood movie I've seen, Plan 9 of course being the first. Plot-wise The Violent Years is much better, but Plan 9 from Outer-Space is one of those movies that's so-bad-they're-epic-but-still- pretty-bad. The Violent Years is just boring, considering the plot, it should have been far more fast-paced and it has a potential that it just doesn't live up to. That and the fact that Ed Wood really deserved his reputation as the worlds worst director.
