why?

Rating: 5/10 (29 June 2005)

I love Spielberg. I think he is the most INVENTIVE filmmaker of all time. My question after seeing this film is WHY???? Why did he not reinvent the genre yet again? Why did he not surpirse me? Why did he not scare the bejesus out of me? WHY????!!?!?!? Spielberg failed to obey the most important rule of the disaster flick-the rule of killing off someone we care about in every act. Why did he fail to do this? No killing = no fear = no emotional weight = not a really scary movie. Spielberg---I love you...but you really really really failed to come through with this one. Minority Report this ain't (that was the most suspenseful Spielberg film in the last 10 years). I really hate siding with Ebert on this one but I can't help it. Watch at your wallet's risk.
