Is that all you have to say after reading my little essay? I learn nothing from you! nt
I'd say a very little essay. What do you want? you pretty much just made a list of movies. You don't really say much about them other than you think they represent a body of mediocre work. I'm not impressed. Eastwood has IMO made at least four outstanding movies and at least a few other movies with merit that rises well above the level of mediocre. I would concede that it took Eastwood time to mature into an excellent director but IMO and in the opinion of many other people he did do just that.
Should be fun.
Letters from Iwo Jima, Million Dollar Baby, Mystic River and The Unforgiven. The more interesting question would about the other movies of merit I was refering to. But here is some evidence as to what other film makers think of Eastwood.

Yeah, those are the accolades bestowed upon a "mediocre" artist by his peers. Like I said before, I'm sure he is crushed by the negative comments on this forum. To be praised here by certain regulars is the real goal of all film makers and the true mark of an excellent film maker. All those awards I cited on IMDb are meaningless drivel based on ill informed and simply unimportant peoples' opinions. Not like the people here.
mediocre adjective a mediocre performance ordinary, average, middling, middle-of-the-road, uninspired, undistinguished, indifferent, unexceptional, unexciting, unremarkable, run-of-the-mill, pedestrian, prosaic, lackluster, forgettable, amateur, amateurish; informal OK, so-so, 'comme ci, comme ça', plain-vanilla, fair-to-middling, no great shakes, not up to much, bush-league.
