Alien, Blade Runner, later Gladiator, etc. I used to be a fan.


Based upon the early sci-fi, I was a fan, then his 80's and 90's output was average in my view, until Gladiator and Black Hawk Down.

I should have liked Robin Hood , BR 2049 and Kingdom of Heaven but they were just plain boring and jumbled, and the late Alien films have been below par.

Shame as he does have talent.

I HAVE ENJOYED OR REALLY LIKED PRETTY MUCH ALL OF HIS FILMS.

Same. He is one of my favourite directors. Not all of his movies are great but I don't think he has made a truly awful or unwatchable movie.

His 90's was pretty much wasted, with exception of Thelma & Louise and 1492. But he has done plenty of good movies since then. He got his shit together with Gladiator after the poor 90's.

INCLUDING THE TWO YOU NAMED...HE ONLY MADE FOUR MOVIES IN THE 90'S...THE OTHER TWO ARE...WHITE SQUALL AND G.I. JANE...BOTH ARE FAIRLY GOOD FLICKS AND VERY ENJOYABLE...ALSO...GLADIATOR WAS RELEASED IN 2000...MEANING IT WAS FORMED,SCRIPTED,CAST,SHOT AND EDITED TOGETHER IN THE LATE 90S.
