When will someone tell Spielberg to stop making movies ?

Rating: 4/10 (3 October 2002)

when I left the theatre, only one thought came to my mind: what a shame !
What a shame that Spielberg had to direct this movie ! He screwed the whole experience with his style, lack of creativity, and let's say it, the "Spielberg" touch: the child element...
This Child element is there from the very begining of the Spielberg career... Jaws ? he was there, not saying much yet, we didn't see it at first, but it was there... next ? Encounters: don't tell me you didn't see this one coming.. after that ? E.T., Jurrassic Park, A.I., and now... Minority Report !
argh this was supposed to be a good flick, with a nice plot, a well constructed environment (well this part was the work of Mr Dick isn't it), good acting (yes Tom Cruise is indeed teriffic) the problem of this movie is the style itself: Bad camerawork (dynamic movement does not make a nice movie...), bad editing, lack of rythm (gosh those 2+ hours looked long...), already-too-much-seen blue color all over the movie, supposed to give a cold futuristic style... and let's say it again: the "Child" element...
There is still something destroying the experience of this flick: everything you see has already been shown, sooner, somewhere else... lot of times !
and gosh this was supposed to be a "dark" environment, with more violence, less... PG-13 stuffs...
enough said, the best way to make up your mind is to see the movie !
