This had good moments but was not a good movie. Aside from being bloviated, the biggest problem is that it tries to recapture the type of wonder and humor from his older movies through the use of cringe comedy and really, incredibly stupid actions.

On the flip side, some of the humor was outstanding, mainly when focused on character dialogue. Acting was superb.

Here's a great review:

Feels like an amazingly directed, badly written late-series X-Files mythology episode. It wants to be hopeful but lacks the true insight into the issues we face today needed to inspire that emotion by the movie's end.

So, safe to say last good movie Spielberg has directed was Munich?
West Side Story and Lincoln were absolute bangers.

Fableman’s got nominated for like 10 Oscars and was also very good.

Ready Player one??

I know general pop didnt enjoy it as much as I did... but I thought it was great...and a flashback to the days when spielberg was the best in the business.
I loved RP1. It was great for anyone that grew up in the 80s and got most of the references. The race scene 10 minutes in is still my go-to to demo my home theater. Shakes the house with great Atmos and visuals.
