Anyone else thinks he is overrated?


I realize this may be an unpopular opinion because he has a lot of fans, but why does he have a lot of fans?
Do they really like his movies and think they are that good or is it they want to look like hoity toity film snobs and just go with it so they don't feel embarrassed to their peers?

I dunno why everyone acts like every single one of his movies are great when he did some clunkers like the misogynistic Clockwork and Space is just really too long and boring and no one knows what is going on.

I get it that he put quality over quantity but sometimes quality is overdone where he is too much of a perfectionist that it became an obsession and it shows.

It is not wrong to hate any or even all of his movies, ya know.

He's overrated by trolls, which is what anyone should be considered when they use this term to describe legendary artists who revolutionized their art in some way.
