Speilberg has a very solid resume to backup...

Saving Private Ryan
Schindler's List
Hook (childhood favorite. don't hate)
Indiana Jones series
ET
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
wrote The Goonies

i can see where the Super 8's framework came from. I can sense the similarities to The goonies (family oriented, kids from broken families, kids going beyond expectations), and ET (sci fi, kids interact with an alien)

Originally posted by Lews I don't think anyone thinks Bay makes good movies. I would say Abrams is most overrated, but Nolan comes in a close second.

people are putting Abrams on a very high pedestal because of Alias, Lost, and Fringe. It is always bad to be preset on a high position before starting off, because the only direction you are going is down.

Originally posted by Quazar Cowboys and Aliens is directed by Jon Favreau. Spielberg's next film as director is Adventures of Tintin.

Oops. You're right. Spielberg is a producer on that, not directing. He is also slated to direct "Lincoln" (obviously a biopic on Abe Lincoln), a movie called "War Horse" (something to do with world war 1 but looks kinda gay), and Robopocalypse (about a robot uprising). So he has some potential good ones in the queue.

I thought he did a really good job directing "Munich" in 2005 too.

Originally posted by ChemEnhanced I've completely stopped going to movies because all movies have been crap now for years. I think the last well done movie I watched in theaters was Blair Witch Project

But... The Blair Witch Project was horrible... Although I agree with your premise, there have at LEAST been better movies since the BWP...

just saw this it was good. Incendies was good as well, probably one of the better films in the last while. I think the trick to watching good movies is to avoid american movies.

Originally posted by The17sss Maybe he'll redeem himself with Cowboys and Aliens. But "easily" the most overrated director? What about Michael Bay for god's sake!?

Michael Bay is most definitely not an overrated director. Everyone pretty much knows he sucks.

Yeah, Michael Bay movies make money because they're fun. Not because they're good.

Though I'm not ashamed to admit that I love Armageddon. Great characters, music, and effects in that one.

Bay is very good at using visuals to create an emotional impact, the problem is he needs to hold himself back more. It's like he can't help but overdo it.

My favourite movie of his is The Rock. Armageddon was pretty good too but you could tell he was going overboard with it.
