Too many emotional moments

Rating: 8/10 (29 October 1998)

I am growing very weary of these Spielberg films that are just jam packed with `emotional pauses'. It's just too much! Okay, I can accept a few important moments in a film in which the background music winds up and the action slows down and we get a `poignant moment' but these films have one of these moments on average about every five minutes. This film was bad enough but Amistad was far worse.
