I'm about to watch this film but first I have to disagree. I mean wow, are you crazy? Anyway I do agree with you though in a way. His career seems like it's over, I mean the magic of course. But this didn't kill it, that abomination called Indy 4 killed it. Catch me if you can, minority report, heck I even liked war of the worlds. Those were his last good ones that he directed. Now he's producing junk. I hear super 8 is good but he didn't direct it. He directed tin tin which seems great, but its animated so I don't know how much a director can even be given credit for that. He's still alright but his name doesn't hold the power it once did at all. He was a Bentley, now he's that Chrysler 300 thing.

one person's opinion to me was "spielberg does comedy and it's doesn't work". i disagree. spielberg is top nosh! can't wait to see tin-tin!
shareIndiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was the last truly great Spielberg movie.
shareYou understand that he's a bigger director/producer now than he ever was when he made "1941", right?
shareAll thanks to Lucas letting him direct Raiders of the Lost Ark.
shareEr, no.
shareThe film is described in some books and many wiki-entries as a flop, but only in comparison to the grotesquely greater successes of 'Jaws' and 'Close Encounters Of The Third Kind'. Is 'The Sugarland Express' considered a flop? Is 'Duel'? How was Spielberg's career, easily considered stellar, even momentarily sidelined by this film? Do the titles 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark', 'E.T.: The Extraterrestrial', 'Poltergeist', 'The Goonies', 'Empire Of The Sun', 'The Color Purple' mean anything to the original poster (and that's just the 'eighties)? Exactly what is meant by the poster's statement? Clearly, somebody needs to do more reading, and less trolling.
shareDid people like it and pay to see it. Those are ear marks for success.
Spielberg's career over? What moron comes up with this crap?
***Sigh*** That was funny BH...shame no one else got the joke!
shareNo. Here is the joke as it should properly be stated:
'Duel' destroyed Spielberg's career, because it established him as a director of films. If he had stuck to directing episodes of 'Name Of The Game', he would be firmly established in television today.
Har har har. Next.
What career?
