Steven Spielberg, what happened to you? As i said last year in my retrospect of your career, i feel you started off in the basic of terms in TV movie film making, but were better, you went on to create classic after classic in the 70s & 80s, but in the 80s you began to attempt oscar bait, and that continued all your career, now these films were good yes but really the only film to capture the wonder of Spielberg since the 90s in Jurassic Park, that isn't to say you haven't made great films, hell i think Saving Private Ryan is one of the best films ever made, but i want that awe that left my jaw on the floor as a kid. In the past 2 decades you gave us AI, Minority Report, Tin Tin, War of the Worlds, but still none have that vibe, if anything they feel like film inspired by your work, only films truly inspired by your work such as Stranger Things and Super 8 are better than those. I was so underwhelmed by Bridge of Spies, perhaps not your fault since i didn't care for the Coen's Hail Caesar either, but i thought cool, he is putting all his talent into the BFG, the same way Wes Craven put all his talent into Scream 4 instead of My Soul To Take,,,,,wait it is just like that because neither of those films did anything for me either, and BFG, I found to be BORING, super boring, sure it had wonderment of youth, but it felt like a crappy 90s movie you would see on ABC Family(yes i know they changed their name since). It looked cool but visual appeal is not enough, and even if it was, their wasn't enough that we haven't seen already.
