Hook and Lincoln are both solid films, far from trash. {nm}

Posted by: loveman3 on Jul 04, 15:05 in response to FabioParme's post What about the other "great" Spielberg movies...

Perhaps TBFG has underperformed, but I'd rather watch just about any SSPIE film ahead of any HPOTT, TWLIT or any MCU property. second gary Jul 04, 14:40

What about the other "great" Spielberg movies like Hook, AI, Lincoln, Indy 4 and 1941? FabioParme Jul 04, 14:52

Hook and Lincoln are both solid pieces of trash! FabioParme Jul 04, 15:22

What didn't you like about "Lincoln"? second gary Jul 04, 15:45

What didn't I like? How about everything? FabioParme Jul 04, 16:22

Guillermo del Toro said in an interview some time ago that 10% of any film is very good. second gary Jul 04, 16:32

Lincoln is 90% at rotten tomatoes and received an "A" from cinemascore. {nm} Moviesnob Jul 04, 16:42

You lost me when you said that you found the production design "fascinating". It sounds like the set design was an episode of NOVA {nm} bennyg1985 Jul 04, 18:58

Production or set design can be fascinating: MMAX4, The Huduscker Proxy, Topsy-Turvy, Mad Men, Titanic, Alien, for example. {nm} second gary Jul 04, 20:47

+1, Lincoln reads like a History Channel special. Tommy Lee Jones was awesome though. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Jul 04, 22:58

Anyone who says Hook is trash is just a troll. It's a kids' movie, and a darn good one {nm} johnnyb588 Jul 05, 09:13

RIP Rufio! {nm} chosenone2oo5 Jul 05, 10:03

What are you talking about? Those lost kids are the trolls! Messing with Dustin Hoffman! No respect!! {nm} FabioParme Jul 05, 11:17

I think AI and Lincoln are wonderful. 1941, well, I've not seen it yet. I haven't seen "Munich," "Bridge of Spies," "The BFG," . . . second gary Jul 04, 15:20

Munich is terribly underrated. its one of my favorite films of his {nm} Moviesnob Jul 04, 15:32

A.I. and Minority Report are two of his GREATEST blockbuster achievements. Those will age EXTREMELY well. Guaranteed. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Jul 04, 22:58

What are you talking about? 1941 is pure GOLD! Love that film when it came out, love it today. {nm} Filmstardust Jul 04, 20:02

...Or Saving Private Ryan, Catch Me If You Can...both very entertaining films, IMO! {nm} Flash Jul 05, 08:26

*scratches head* Mister Epo? I don't remember that one {nm} islander Jul 04, 15:30

"Minority Report." :) I sometimes have ticker amnesia. {nm} second gary Jul 04, 15:37
