It's probably that there's no dialog for the first 30 minutes or so. I saw it when it came out in the 60s, and I just thought it was neat. Back then, everyone watched it high because of the (then) incredible video sequence going through 2 strips of gels at incredible speed...;0
Say what you like, it got Sci-fi out of using restocked V-2 footage, and to ships that looked at home in outer space...

I just find the story boring and the climax unexplained. Because they don't really do any character development, I don't care about any of the characters. I think the whole HAL thing is out of place and unneeded.
Hal is the most important character of the movie! The more interessing too.

It isn't explained anywhere in the movie. According to the book (which was written as the movie was filmed), his memory is being read out by the monolith in preparation for the next evolutionary step.
So that what is all about! What we see is then the weird hallucinations and dreams during the reading of his memory.
