Has Spielberg lost his Mojo?

Rating: 7/10 (22 September 2018)

In my estimation, Yes. Some people only have one hit song, design or art piece in them and that is it. it could also be that, once he made it big, Spielberg got rid of and/or stopped listening to the people who were helping him to make great movies. I think it is the latter. Mind you, this is not just from me, I was told by others that this movie would NOT be good Because it was a Spielberg film. I hope that did not bias me.
In any case, this film a good watch that had the potential to be of one of the super hero mega blockbusters. If you watch it, you will enjoy it. However it misses on servera key points. For instance, (Spoiler reminder) the hero sees his real life aunt and all his neighbors get killed in real life. The very next scene is a romantic one with him meeting the love of his life, without him missing a beat. I think that they did not want to "Take the mood of the movie down" as it were. This is what you do when you over think things and listen to marketing people. A real story needs the downs so that it can have the highs, the audience needs to be invested in what is going on, and they need to know that the main character is invested. Death of family and then love scene does not work.
They made some good decisions, as in who not to kill, but that was an easy one. It was a good decision to bring in the real life meet with the love interest earlier. They should have played into the cult of the egg hunters more, that would make it feel more like a club or family. Even more CGI scenes were needed. There were a lot of "cameo's" from game characters but they were all boring, I wanted cameo's with awesome things being done. Like I said, potential wasted. All in all, a 7.5 is a fair rating for this film.
