...if you DON'T hate his films. Here's some of your Grey Poupon Euro-blathering about Spielberg's achievements:

>>> "How old is this man now? Or did you meant from " kindergarten " to " schoolboy " Ha-ha!" <<<

Does this sound like an intelligent comment from someone who actually LIKES his work?

Maybe in your neck of the woods (i.e., the Black Forest or perhaps the imaginary follage of Mars) such nonsense is meant as PRAISE for a successful Director's accomplishments, but if that's the case, then even the words "faint praise" hardly does justice to your remarks.

FYI, I've criticized some of Steven Spielberg's films myself using objective criteria and on a film by film basis, but never in such an insulting, demeaning manner as to imply that the sum of his work is the product of a film-maker who lacks the maturity to direct.
