I really don't find Spielberg films to be all that enthusastic personally. They simply are there, no real undertone to them. It's simply action and directing by the book as opposed to someone like Kurosawa or Hitchcock who really thinks about what they are trying to do and have a reason behind every shot.
@TheForgottenFlesh Yeah. I meant that about 10 years ago, films were more about making you think, if only a little bit. Yes, right now they still do, but what dominates the box office, are films like 'Transformers' or '2012' (the latter one I like for what it is), which are just explosions and as OK as that may be, they are totally uncomparable with films like 'The Book of Eli' or 'Inception', which I both really love for their hidden meanings and make-you-think moments.
Lol, is that Arnold at 0:05? :P

@FriedEggsandChips Arnold Schwarzenegger. It kinda looks like him, but I don't think it is.

@TheForgottenFlesh It's entertainment. Nothing else matters these days; Spielberg knows that. Watch 'A.I.', that's made with more thought.

@PrimaveraPictures A.I., was just a cash in on Kubrick's name, the only thought behind that movie was "What would Kubrick do" and it didn't work.

@PrimaveraPictures Also what do you mean "these days" are you telling me it something else mattered at one point?

@PrimaveraPictures Spielberg has enough stroke to say or do whatever the fuck he wants. Those films dominate for marketing...that's all.

@PrimaveraPictures A.I. is his worst movie. He corrupted this dark, gritty movie about what it means to be human with childhood sentimentality.

@rockslideproductions I think A.I was pretty good. It is definetely one of his strangest movies, seeing how sad and unusual the movie was.

It's not only his movies that I love, but also just him speaking on any given subject.

@mfnstudioschannel Wrong. That's an impossible title to fill as he can't be compaired to the likes of Akiria Kurosawa, it's all subjective.
