Spielbergs magic...as I call it...is the fact that he is a truly gifted filmmaker but in almost EVERY single picture he makes he fumbles! Movie freak that I am it frustrates me. WOTW could have been a sci-fi masterpiece in his hands but it was a rushed production. His first mistake in WOTW was having David Koepp write the screenplay (Same screen writer from Jurrasic Park)
The guys that make movies like "Godzilla","Independance Day", "Pearl Harbour"...are hacks...Spielberg is no "hack" but he's becoming one and its a shame to see a guy with raw filmmaking talent like his and not apply it. Apply it to make a cool as hell sci-fi adventure/thriller to blow us all away!
Dammit Steve! Remember "Duel"? You made a semi-truck scare the hell out of us....go back to your roots!
