Many of his films are bad, yes, but Schindler's List isn't.  |

Haha, he's got some duds but Spielberg is most certainly not terrible. |

| Schindler's List was a good film, but I don't think Spielberg had much to do with that at all. In fact, I think Spielberg's influence on the film detracted from it more than anything else. He failed when it came to portraying the jews. He painted them as victims first and foremost, not as human beings. Isn't that where the real drama is- their humanity? Spielberg consistently does that same exact thing, insisting upon himself, and it's why he often gets sub-par performances out of his actors. |

How did you come to this conclusion? How, specifically, does Spielberg fail at making such a distinction, and, considering the totality of the film's historical backdrop as well as its focus, how does one not portray human beings being subjected to their extermination as victims? I'm not saying you're wrong, and it's been years since I saw the film, but that's not a conclusion I would draw from my personal recollection of it. |

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

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