I dunno man. Its just not a very good movie is all.
Thats a lot reading into it if you ask me. I dont give spielberg that much credit. He is not that smart.
They banged this movie together as fast as they could.
Now Batman Begins. That is a conservative tough on terrorism movie.
Have you noticed that reviewers almost universally identify the George Pal movie as Cold Was era in a dismissive manner. Yet they praise Spielberg's anti war statement in this one. It must be that a film's quality is determined by the political message the film sends. The Pal film is clearly superior even with its 50 year old FX.
Gee, my eleven-year-old son and I just got back from WoW and we both enjoyed it. I didn't really sense any deep symbolism, but I guess I'm just the obtuse type. I don't have the mind to see things like that in other than a simplistic way. It's hard to imagine wasting that much verbiage on a silly movie.
I'm also amazed that the reviewer, whoever he is, thought that Tim's house was a mansion, or that the ex-wife's parents lived in a "fancy" Boston townhouse.
Spielberg has become a caricature of himself. He's nothing but a blowhad, elitist, liberal pinhead.
For goodness sakes he airbrushed out the guns held by goverment agents in his E.T. movie when he "re" released it on DVD.
His movies are increasingly boring and irrelavent and, even worse, not worth watching. Between Lucas and Spielberg the advertising business probably gets 95% of their revenue since hype is the majority of their movies.
