Guillermo del Toro said in an interview some time ago that 10% of any film is very good.
He may have said "excellent" or "amazing." I only saw "Lincoln" once, but as I recall the opening sequence was good, a cabinet meeting scene (I expect this is a scene you found boring) excellent, and the scenes with Lincoln's wife compelling. I liked the premise of trying to make a biopic that steered clear of the obligatories, and that's why I found the last few minutes so disappointing, as they didn't belong in the better film he'd otherwise made. I thought the production design was fascinating.
Perhaps TBFG has underperformed, but I'd rather watch just about any SSPIE film ahead of any HPOTT, TWLIT or any MCU property. Jul 04, 14:40
What about the other "great" Spielberg movies like Hook, AI, Lincoln, Indy 4 and 1941? Jul 04, 14:52
Hook and Lincoln are both solid films, far from trash. {nm} Jul 04, 15:05

Lincoln is 90% at rotten tomatoes and received an "A" from cinemascore. {nm} Jul 04, 16:42
+1, Lincoln reads like a History Channel special. Tommy Lee Jones was awesome though. {nm} 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} Jul 05, 09:13

Munich is terribly underrated. its one of my favorite films of his {nm} Jul 04, 15:32
A.I. and Minority Report are two of his GREATEST blockbuster achievements. Those will age EXTREMELY well. Guaranteed. {nm} Jul 04, 22:58
What are you talking about? 1941 is pure GOLD! Love that film when it came out, love it today. {nm} Jul 04, 20:02
...Or Saving Private Ryan, Catch Me If You Can...both very entertaining films, IMO! {nm} Jul 05, 08:26
*scratches head* Mister Epo? I don't remember that one {nm} Jul 04, 15:30
