Stephen Spielberg Stopped Sucking

Rating: 4/10 (6 March 2005)

I don't know what happened to Stephen Spielberg after Schindler's List but it wasn't good. Historical drama after historical drama and they all sucked the hose dry. Here, Spielberg shows us why we love his craft so well. It's almost a more adult version of Hook. Victor N'vorsky flies in to Neverland to rescue Benny Goldson's autograph and then can't figure out how to fly home. Captain Hook of the airport wants him to handle it his way. The quarters scene is the same scene from Hook where the boy is messing with Panny's face. And all the while there's a cute little fairy trying to make sense of the whole thing. If there's one thing that Stephen Spielberg is good at it is making me want to sit still and stare at a wall for two hours and I'm glad that he's back to doing that.
