Some people.What.
Who.
I don't see what's not family friendly. Look like a normal day at the beach here in Australia.Wholesome fun for the whole family!
One of the best, imo. He combines Hitchcock's technical precision, visual storytelling, and knack for suspense with incredible heart and optimism. Sometimes he gets flack for being overly sentimental, and it's true it does occasionally hurt his films, but it allows him access to an emotional core most other big Hollywood films will never be able to tap into due to an inherent cynicism and aloofness that keeps the viewers at arms bay.
Even if his current output isn't as good as it once was I'd still rather see a weaker Spielberg than most of the movies Disney is pumping out.
You guys are the worst. Dude is the most versatile and influential director ever.
The Pizza Hut of directors?
Christ.
May be irrational, but to me he's the kind of artist that now could make any film he wanted in Spanish, and elevate Latin American Cinema, but instead would only make a film in Spanish, or any foreign language just so he can exploit the foreignness of it. Have American viewers read the subtitles and feel cosmopolitan, and remind the world he is cosmopolitan.
I have good memories of family fun at the hut. A good tasty meal that goes down easy.

He's not Pizza Hut, he's like a 1-star Michelin restaurant - and it's an affordable one, too. But there are definitely better restaurants.
Except he used shaky cam expertly in SPR. Not Spielberg's fault all the Paul Greengrasses that came afterward decided to use it as a crutch without putting any effort into actually trying to frame their subjects. Spielberg's use was effective and thoughtful.I do hold him solely responsible for the shaky cam action scenes that still inundate us to this day due to Saving Private Ryan.
That's about it though.
Not sure what the hell the rest of the posts are about. Spielberg, Lucas, and Zemeckis were pretty much the only movies I knew of when I was a kid. And they are iconic to this day.
Interesting, hadn't heard that perspective. So you're saying he's kind of sold out for international cred?
Some people regard him as a hugely popular hack
ftfyOne of the greats. Even his lesser films are interesting. He doesn't need to be doing big blockbusters anymore so he just does the films that interest him.
His greats:
Close Encounters of the Third kind
Jaws
Schindler's List
Saving Private Ryan
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Jurassic Park
The Color Purple
Minority Report
Empire of The Sun
Hook
AI
Amistad
Poltergiest
