typical late Spielberg rubbish

Rating: 2/10 (16 March 2006)

This constant adoration thrown at Spielberg mystifies me. This is typical of his recent efforts. Long winded, uninvolving, unexciting, bland, overwrought, sentimental etc, I could go on and on-
basically this is another entrant in the proof that this is a man that is slowly and surely ruining his reputation. At least in this one the loathsome kids that he seems to cast in every movie since Jurassic Park are absent.
To be fair however, it is nowhere near as bad as Catch Me If You Can, The Terminal, or War of The Worlds. That is not to say that I would recommend it in any shape or form. It is still crap.
