I really like Kubrick but there's something about his films that are kind of lifeless, can't quite put my finger on it. Does anyone else get that vibe?
I think what you're feeling is his God's-eye-view approach to storytelling. I.E. he rarely uses an 'everyman' sort of protagonist through which the audience can experience the film. Thus what you end up with is a continuum of 'strange' or 'objective' viewpoints.
