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

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
