"His films are overdone and overrated, and then he goes back to reedit them to make them more politically correct. I dislike him so much as a person that I try to avoid watching his films wherever possible. The few that I've seen lead me to believe that I haven't missed much."We got the same feeling about him, I completely agree, each word and all words. But, I'd like to add something; Spielberg can't handle suspense and complex story, that shows in his serious and overrated films. As a exemple;
- Saving Privated Ryan, 2 hours of shooting, no suspence and no story and caracter developement. After the impressive first scene, I fell asleep.
- AI, I like the idea that came from Kubrick, but hate the sentimental part of Spielberg. Not bad, but it could be much much better if only Kubrick had directed that film. He didn't have a woman or kid's heart like Spielberg.
- Schinlert List: no story, no suspence, 3 hours of jews's slaughter, and it look like a documentary. At the end, Spielberg suprised(not a suprise if you know him well) us a crappy ending.
- A Close Encounter of the Third Kind. Some consider it as a classic and I rented it... I couldn't believe how boring this films is.
- Amisted; like the 1st part, but the second...
As a conclusion, the way I see it: Spielberg got the first good notes, but he can't keep the beat and rythm.
