    Nah, I'm crazy about Spielberg too obviously, simply because he's produced some magnificent films in his time. But that certainly doesn't mean I love every film he's done! Crystal Skull was a pretty poor movie, of which I'm sure Lucas and Spielberg are certainly to blame.


    'ALWAYS' vomit

    At least Crystal Skull is worth another watch, yes it is a poor movie but look at the standard it had to follow?


    indeed, now Always that was a bore

    Which is your birthright.

    I have it on DVD also, but I definitely have to be in the mood for it. It's so noisy, I almost have to wear earplugs to watch it.
    I am extremely serious.

    the only thing that bothers me, it is too long to watch it again and again, but that second part I would watch again and again wink

    Speilberg is faaaaar from innocent. He was the one that planned out each and every BORING action sequence in that film during pre-production. Spielberg has a lot more control on the Indy sets then you give him credit for.

    It's quite funny seeing this after my remark over in the PUBLIC ENEMIES camp.
    Truly though, I wish I had his talent. But if I had it, I hope I would spend it more carefully.

    I am also huge of Steven Spielberg. I never missed any of his movies. But i was disappointed with his film Indy 4. One of the worst Spielberg film forever. 1941 was another comedy film which i don't much appreciate it. In fact, it was boring one.

    It's a bizarre film in Spielberg's canon but very watchable, I'd love to see it again. When I saw Williams in concert he performed Swing, Swing, Swing cool

    Yeah, 1941 is a bizarre creature, somehow it gets better over time, in contrast to Always, Hook, and Indy 4 though, which get worse and worse.

    I am really a 1941 apologist (mostly owing to Williams raucous score, but the fantastic action sequences. maddening pace, and the sheer abundance of guest stars help a lot), but Hook has always frustrated me: the first twenty minutes are so are so damn good that the Goonies Mark 2 follow-up seems worse than it may be.
    I could stand to see that film again though. And again the score is FANTASTIC.

    Interestingly the film I dislike most in that list is Always, the wonderful love Audrey Hepburn love notwithstanding...and it's also Williams' most insepid score! I guess music is a bigger component than I first thought.

    My least-liked Spielberg movies:

    The Lost World - Jurassic Park
    1941
    War of the Worlds
    Close Encounters of the Third Kind (I know, I know... still, it bores me to death...)

    The rest are either good, very good or classics!

    Ooooh, controversial stuff there!
    Let me add some fuel to the fire: I love 1941 and The Lost World, but I'm completely with you on the last two.

    The War Of The Worlds seemed hollow to me. I fully realize what Spielberg was trying to do (describing the actions from an observer on the ground, like in the original novel), but it just didn't gel for me (aside from some truly spectacular apocalyptic images: loved the initial lightning invasion, the burning train and the tripods tackling the ferry).

    Aside from the amazing 5 notes, I never liked anything about Close Encounters.
    Two hours watching a bloke mucking about with mud. A very tough and avantgarde score to accompany it.
    Sure, the final light show looks great, but the pay-off for me is too little too late.

    I agree. Although I did think the first half of the movie was excellent, particularly the intersection and ferry scenes.

    Also, just to be extremely pedantic, it's "War Of The Worlds".
    No 'The' at the beginning for the Spielberg film.

    I really enjoyed War of the Worlds until the garbage Spielboogied ending! It made Robbie's powerful "sacrifice" scene a sham!

    The only thing I truly DID enjoy was Ann Robinson's and Gene Barry's split second cameo.
    I never got what the hell that whole Robbie thing was about anyway: "lemme go, dad! I wanna die for no reason at all!" ..."Oh look, dad, I survived for no reason at all" <mega-shrug>

    There was a fellow director a few years back (don't recall his name) that made a comment about Spielberg not being able to make good films anymore, but only good scenes. I for one think his worst films all have some kind of exceptional "set pieces" in them. In War of the Worlds, we have Kaminski's cinematography, Kahn's editing, and Williams' music that together create some of the most breathtaking audiovisual treats I've seen in science fiction, i.e. the "escape from the city" and "probing the basement" scenes. In Always, theres a brilliant night-scene (when Dreyfuss' character opens the fridge: great cinematographic pun!) that beautifully transitions to the quick bicycle scene and the whole "I love you" drowned out by the engine noise irony. The sense of pacing, the actors performances, the clever foreboding music by Williams, it was just an exceptionally great scene and textbook case in overall good collaboration between each of the disciplines. Hook especially had an overwhelming amount of great scenes, but they didn't really mount to anything in the end. I think A.I. also suffered from this "complex".
