Is Spielberg even that good? Most of his great movies are from the 70's, and then he pretty much just piggybacked George Lucas, made Jurassic Park, and then made stuff like Minority Report, which is fine at best.
Realistically, he has about four great movies, that are truly his movies, and not George's.

he had a god tier run in the 70s/ 80s but outside of a certain age range that worships him, hes not that revered. in 50 years people will still glaze Kubrick, Lynch, Scorsese, etc. nobody will care about Spielberg at all.
>>
>>220190643
Indiana Jones is clearly Lucas' baby. It's his counterpart to Star Wars.
Star Wars is sci-fi pulp, Indiana Jones is adventure pulp.
>>
>>220190611
The majority of his filmography is above average to excellent. The fact that you tried to accuse him of "piggybacking off Lucas" just shows how little you know on the subject, so it's not really worth getting into on any serious level obviously. Your other comment about sci fi pulp and adventure pulp also shows you're an uneducated swine.
I think a quicker way to embarrass yourself further would be to just start posting your top 10-20 movies. It's clear you're a tastelet, but you seem confident enough to foghorn so go on... whip the lil guy out and show us what you got
>>
>>220190858
If I'm being incredibly charitable to Speilberg, he has about six great movies, not including the IJ trilogy, which would bring it up to 9.
That's good, but is it really that good? No one thinks his post-Jurassic Park stuff is fantastic, unless they're really into dour WW2 dramas.
>>
>>220189325
I don't know why he was hyped up when he was famous for Lost, which everyone allegedly watched, and even as a child watching Lost I knew this guy was a hack.

plus, are Close Encounters and ET even that good, really? I liked them well enough as a child, but they seem kind of schmaltzy and cringe.

just another uninteresting jew who makes slop for idiots. lost was literally lost. it never knew what it wanted to be and the ending was such trash slop it's almost entirely forgotten. also the cast was a freakshow. nevertheless his entire career is aids.

Jurassic Park was his last great film but even if he only made 1 good film that's 1 more than JJ Abrahams.

Yes they are, dumb contrarian zoomer.

Alright. Don't argue with 80's kids about Spielberg. Lesson learned. lmao.

The only movies of his I even particularly give shits about are Duel, Jaws, and Jurassic Park, if I'm entirely honest.

Objectively speaking he basically is. Spielberg is grossly overrated and his best movie came long after his "legendary run" ended and most Spielberg fans aren't even aware of the movie itself or that he directed it. I cannot comprehend what made these mostly genxers go bananas over him. It'd be like if a bunch of millennials and zoomers got together and insisted to their dying breath that Joe Kosinski is the 21st century GOAT. The nutwashing is insane.

His biggest mistake was explaining his writing method via the mystery box. It was like a magician revealing his act.
>>
>>220190537
Yes. Spielberg was king in the 70s-2000s and even now he still occasionally turns out a banger. Ready Player One was absolute dogshit but that's because the source material was bad to begin with so that's not Spielberg's fault.
>>
>>220193308
He's not exactly the first one to come up with it. For instance, David Lynch loved using the mystery box himself.
>>
>>220193308
Even if he hadn't done that, people would have found a way to label his writing in some way. The Force Awakens is just full of his worst habits

He is amazing, but leans on his cinematography and staged "moments," which he does brilliantly but also lacks substance. A technical filmmaker, like Zemekis he has a vision and works hard to make it happen, but often at the detriment of character or even story. Also fell in love with the idea that sequence=story. You see this more and more in his work as he gets older. Visually brilliant and can tell a great short story in sequences, but he always lacked substance for style. Still, he successfully casted a wide net that had broad popular appeal, so I'll give him that. At least he still incorporated artistry instead of just going pure visuals.

Agreed. One thing I like about Spielberg is he recognized that someone like Lynch was capable of doing things he could not and so he championed David's work.

As a director Spielburg is up there with the greatest. As a filmmaker he is not bad, but he never reaches the heights that the greatest have reached; after his early movies he was too saccharine, too unambitious. He is a good storyteller, but true genius has always escaped him.

He's imitating Spielberg. Badly so, but still.
He's definitely a wannabe-Spielberg, so the comparison is appropriate in that sense.
In the same way that Vileneuve is the "next Nolan". The difference there is that Spielberg was always better than Nolan. I guess that makes Abrams at least better than Villeneuve (not that that's saying much).

“Duel” to “Saving Private Ryan” is a lot of kino, and even the stuff that he just produced was a ton of bangers (Gremlins, Back to the Future, Roger Rabbit, Tiny Toons, etc). There’s a reason why he’s so imitated.

Spielberg is unironically a pretty competent director for the "New Hollywood" mainstream circles he came from. Probably down to him being a traditionalist rather than a rebel like most of his peers. Imagine him as the straight-A student in film school, whereas Ford-Coppola got mostly Bs and Cs for challenging the course material and George Lucas flunked half of his courses.

Kek. Not really. Vapid, empty, and with the exception of that Blade Runner cash-in, utterly Nolanesque.
And, listen, I'm not saying that Abrams ever made something worthwhile from an artistic standpoint either. It's just that his slop is Spielberg-inspired (remember that stupid "Super 8" flick that was basically just a Spielberg pastiche with Stranger-Things-tier nostalgiabait?) rather than Nolan-slop-inspired. In other words, it's one level of slop further up the inspiration-hierarchy.

Close Encounters blows, a truly dour experience that speaks to Spielberg's inhumanity. On that note - fuck Hook too: it's a movie for kids but the emotional focus is a hairy man's midlife crisis, and wouldn't you know it he's too busy with business for his son's baseball game (aw shucks!); all well and good for the actual plot of a kids movie to be incidental bullshit but Spielberg, with neurotic self indulgence, lets the window dressing take center stage. What kid wants to see a movie about a jaded Peter Pan with a 401K and no sense of wonder who has to Surf Dracula his way - in what coked up Hollywood heebie-jeebies no doubt thought was a brilliant riff to "give him a character arc" - into being the actual recognizable Peter Pan. No child wants to see that and neither do I, fuck that movie. Rufio was ok I guess

More like episode 9 in particular was hated by the critics, general audiences and fans - both those that had loved and those that had hated episode 8.
That film also completely destroyed Abrams' "Mystery Box" approach, since now everyone could see that he himself wasn't able to follow up on his stupid setups either.

After the failure of yidsney nuwars the populace realized he was a talentless one-trick pony without any style or vision who can only provide safe milquetoast studio flicks, and there are more than enough of such yes-man directors without him. So they stopped advertising him as "the next whatever" when it turned out he was just a faceless NPC director. And trying to find a job that 500 other directors for hire compete for is not that easy.
He shouldn't have left the TV scene, he was doing good there because it doesn't require any particular talent other than efficiency and his brand of mystery boxes is best suited for long form media instead of feature length films. It was impressive, especially back in the day, when a TV show looked like a generic movie blockbuster so he quickly became notorious and it seemed like a good idea to switch him to movies, but nobody is impressed with a generic movie blockbuster looking like a generic movie blockbuster.

>>220206907
If you measure a TV series by the profit your studio/channel makes, sure. If you use any other metric (artistic merit, meaning, long-term customer trust and satisfaction, not getting labeled "worst ending ever", etc.) Lost was a spectacular failure. And the blame lies with Abrams' setup for the whole thing - or rather the lack thereof.
>>
>>220206867
I think once this video started getting circulated and the studio heads saw it he stopped getting gigs because in it he neither demonstrates any understanding of what a mystery box is nor elaborates on why he should be using it. And in general comes off as a manchild retard.

That's the plot. Which of your points would you consider the focal point of said plot?

>>220207115
slop like CMIYC is emblematic of post-90s Spielbergo where he started making movies that anyone else could have made and would not be affected whatsoever by a change of the director, whereas before his films could only have been made by him and would be drastically different if made by anyone else. He literally lost his soul. I wonder if it's him becoming a family man or getting completely jewrizzed after Schindler's List

To be fair, Shyamalandindong was getting called the next Spielberg after he directed 3 solid films in a row, so it was at least somewhat motivated. JewJew Abrahams never did even one.

JJ should have stuck to television where he actually made decent work. Felicity,Alias, Lost and Fringe were all good. I think his ideas and style of writing just aren't well suited to films

Can you remember when

>Yeah I just turned up in Hollywood with a briefcase containing a sandwich when I was 17 or whatever and setup shop in an abandoned office and that's how I became a director lol
But what it really was was
>Spielberg Sr (Jew) had multiple friends (all Jews) in Hollywood (Jewish) and begged them to help Spielberg Jr (Jew) get a start by hiring him
It did take fucking decades before anyone seemed to find out the truth, even though the original tale was stretching the limits of credulity despite for the year it was supposed to have happened. Then when he got called out it was
>Haha gotcha! Yeah I was just joking and kept it going for like 50 years just to see when someone would work it out lmao

They're such slippery, slimy, subhumans.

Meh. Every single Star Wars film after The Holiday Special "destroyed" Star Wars in some way or form, if its fans are to be believed. Truth is that it was never that good to begin with.
But, yeah, he's the kind of director franchises once would hire to deliver the most brainless fanservice slop.

>George Lucas flunked half of his courses.
George Lucas took more courses though. He's this anomaly. He's not good at making a movie, but he's really good at helping people making movies. THX, ILM and so on. He completed the post production of Jurassic Park while Spielberg filmed Schindler's List.

How did Empire Strikes Back destroy Star Wars?

Apparently making Vader Luke's father underminded Obi-Wan's character by making him a liar. Or something like that. Don't ask me to explain, ask the critics from back then.

Please do yourself a favour and start watching actual films, not just Hollywood slop. Or, hell, just start watching Hollywood slop from before 1970. That's enough to put Spielberg into perspective.

that's like the best thing about Vader and Obi Wan's relationship. The depths of the implied betrayal, and contempt. Even back then, before the whole backstory was really fleshed out.

Call me a contrarian, but I actually don't like the Vader being Luke's dad twist or the whole redemption arc in ROTJ. The original line of Obi-wan killing Anakin is more interesting to me. I don't like Obi-wan being a liar either, but this would make more sense as a lie to tell. Ultimately I prefer Vader killing Anakin and wish the story stuck there. Don't get me started on Luke and Leia being sisters either. Lucas was so lazy.

>that's like the best thing about Vader and Obi Wan's relationship.
Sure, for you. Not for the people who whined back then because it was a change to "their" Star Wars.
Also, apparently there were lots of Luke/Leia shippers who got angry about the whole push towards the Han/Leia pairing that Empire did:
https://www.acriticalhit.com/fans-react-empire-strikes-back-1980/
Then those who got upset about the lack of closure and the whole cliffhanger, the slower pace, or even just that you suddenly got "Episode V" in the title crawl.
Oh, and among professional critics, many seem to have seen it as a cash-in attempt on the first film's success:

>>220211031
He is pulled in to delay the final downfall of sinking ships, and while he is effective in this role, he is unable to invest the creative energy required to truly clog any projects' larger holes. Like the otherwise life-shortening medicines allowed for older patients - to alleviate the symptoms of a life that has no additional time left

Makes a Star Wars sequel with the original cast never has luke leia or han all interact with each other on the same screen for three entire movies, let alone integrate some of the other actors like lando, throws away the biggest possible cinema pay day in movie making history so he could subvert our expectations, still to this day people can't bring themselves to admit he ruined it on purpose
No cool moments, no cool characters, no cool dialogue, spawned no cool memorable memes just utterly contemptuous shit ones
somehow he still has influence enough to get his proteges as show runners to kike up rings of power
he should be hanging from a noose dead
>>
>>220213634
To be fair, it seems like the one thing Disney took from Lucas' manuscripts and didn't give their directors any liberty with was the plotpoint of Luke living as a hermit. So it was Lucas who made it pretty much impossible to have all of the old cast on screen together.

Disney considered Episode 9 so much of a failure that it relegated it to Disney+ for a long time
Someone will go
>b-but it made a billion at the box office
It made a billion on a budget of $500-600 million. The budget on this was higher than Last Jedi yet made lower than it.

But I feel like there's more than just that to explain why he hasn't gotten more projects, like for instance months before Episode 9 was to be released he signed a deal with WB; COVID probably threw everything off the rails and Zaslav taking over and cost-cutting stuff meant JJ stuff might've gotten axed because of the higher costs they have.

Imagine licking a terrible director's boots for no other reason than an actress you simp for once took a role in one of his flicks.
Seriously. It's okay, anon. She got paid for it. It's her job. You don't have to approve of every single person she's ever worked with.
