According to who? Some overcompensating typist with online access or critics who made the film a certified fresh success on Rotten Tomaotes and millions of fans who loved it?

Indy 4 was a great success moving Indy from the realm of the 30\’s style serials and into the world of 50\’s sometime cheesy (in a very knowing way) soviet-and-nuclear inspired sci-fi flicks. I dug every minute of it.

\’Tintin\’ looks stunning though and I cannot wait to see it.

There\’s actually a lot to like about 1941. And no Spielberg film is entirely worthless. But he\’s made some bad ones. Some truly dreadful movies. \”Crystal Skull\” is not one of them: \”Crystal Skull\” is better then \”Last Crusade\” for heaven\’s sake. Please, grow up….

America may be A country, but it\’s not the ONLY country.

This teaser was weak, but it hasn\’t lessened my excitement for the film. It looks uber-fun and Spielberg has a rich sense of visual dynamism that\’s perfect for this material.

And yes, as much as I LOVE Indy, CRYSTAL SKULL is as shitty as a sack full of spoiled diapers.

Anyway uncanny valley etc.

I still want it work.

Tintin looks gorgeous no doubt, but I was a fan of Tintin up until the age of 8. So I\’m very meh when it comes to Tintin.

Looking forward to War Horse and the Lincoln film way, way more than this. Way.

Complete and utter rubbish. Everyone knows it\’s 1941 and that\’s indisputable. (Even with the great Dumbo scene) KOTCS is the best Indy sequel

I love the worldwide hate against this embarrassing movie.

razzie

not even an oscarnomination

the south park-episode

lousy imdb and RT-ranking against the real Indy-Movies

Ford and shias\’s opinion about \”Skull\”

and-and-and…

It especially floors me that people persist in saying it\’s better than a deliciously clever film chock full of Tom Stoppard pearls like \”I\’m as human as the next man\” \”I was the next man\”, or \”How did you know she was a Nazi?\” \”She talks in her sleep\”.

Sigh.

A.I. is a remarkable film. Crystal Skull is the second best Indiana Jones film. Color Purple is a terribly edited, staggeringly tone-deaf, cliched mess based on an even worse book. I mean, at least Hook and 1941 and Always are close to Spielberg\’s heart. Airplanes, fairy tales, WWII, dumb jokes–it\’s stuff he loves. Color Purple is just a blatant attempt at Oscar-season respectability: it\’s Spielberg struggling to make what he thought a grown-up, important, serious movie was.

Give it a rest, would you? Grow up. First it was Phantom Menace, now it\’s Crystal Skull, you people just wanna scream about how Lucas sucks.

Some of you posters have a nasty way of getting your point accross

Can\’t we just agree that Jurassic Park: The Lost World is Spielberg\’s worst film?

What gets me every time is the extent of the hatred I am reading. Where is it coming from? I swear, far, far lesser filmmakers are not getting this scrutinzed for far, far lesser looking projects. Is it THAT difficult to comprehend that Spielberg is THAT good and THAT accomplished at the same time? Is it that hard to fucking wrap your brain around that.

That it is possible to make JAWS and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS AND RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, ET, MUNICH, MINORITY REPORT, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN and SHINDLER\’S LIST to name just a fraction of his work? That it all came from the same man?
If nothing else, show some fucking respect. No other filmmaker deserves it more and no other filmmaker inspired more of every filling in anyone. Just fucking show some basic respect.

You many not love every film he\’s done but then again, not every film is made for every single person in his vast fanabase. What\’s far more likely is that Spielberg\’s range far eclipses your own!

And by the way, Color Purple is a fucking masterpiece. Not an attempt at anything other than impressive filmmaking. It is a DAMN fine film and a damn deep one.

And if you don\’t think Tintin looks amazing, pretend it came from Pixar because it sure as heck doesn\’t look motion captrued in theaters.
