Re: Ranking Spielberg
Dom,
great analysis of a great director, but underrated might be a bit of a stretch.
i guess i have just always thought of him as one, if not the, premier directors of our time. is this not the general public and critics view?
your well thought out reviews of his movies were interesting because i loved some of the same movies as you (minority report, amistad), hated a few (et always rubbed me really wrong for some reason, war of the worlds was awful), had forgotten that he directed several (catch me if you can, lol, seen it several times, really liked it, for some reason never even thought about the fact he directed it, the color purple, totally forgot about him in that too, maybe the respective stars outshined him in both), forgot a few of the bombs (hook and 1941, can you even find them on dvd??!!), but.......
without a doubt he is so relevant, talented, commercially successful, and blessed with great vision that i can't see how he can be underated?
how do you think he could be more highly rated? this is muy interesante. J.
