About Steven Spielberg, I think he still does a good job directing, for awhile though his movies were too long and just as you are about to doze off in your popcorn, he hit's you with that third hour twist, evident in "A.I." and "Minority Report", in "War of the Worlds" he was just too held back, this is a remake, not his own little genius going at it. Spielberg also has what I'd like to call, "Yankees syndrome" with his films, when he brings in too many big names it just doesn't work; look at "1941"- an All-Star cast, but it bombed (not to be punny) because you concentrate on the stars, not the characters they play. "War of the Worlds" is similar, Cruise, Fanning, Robbins, a bizarre mix, (with the great Morgan Freeman narrating), but it couldn't click cause it's not new. Spielberg- A great director still, but he should do new things and get actors that get the job done and keep w/ characters that over shadow the actor playing them (Jaws, The Color Purple, Schindler's List, all the good ones basically) He's just stuck on big actors and mediocre scripts. His last good one (in my opinion) "The Terminal" he got a big actor to play a bigger character, rare Hanks did something that Peter Sellers should've done, a feel good film with a solid support cast. That's his winning formula! Anyone agree?
shareI never get the too long argument, if the film is good, you will sit 3 hours and enjoy it!
