A handful of fairy tales from the story bag...
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.

IF AND WHEN HEALTHY...
It was slightly above, “meh.”
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.

No, I'd put Bridge of Spies, Ready Player One, and The Fabelmans all in the good category.
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.
Honestly forgot about Ready Player One and would have to agree.
Haven’t seen the remake of West Side Story and was under the impression it was a massive flop.

Agreed but By Spielberg standards his elite run ended in the mid-2000’s.

I’d put it at Lincoln. That was a period piece biopic that was an absolute smash hit in America, making 180 million domestic, plus 10 Oscar nominations and I think a Best Actor W for Daniel Day Lewis.
After that, I’d agree for the general public. Fableman’s holds a special place in my heart because of the circumstances surrounding my viewing experience, but West Side Story is a totally slept on musical masterpiece that snap, crackles and pops off the screen in a way that shocked me.

I saw that some in the evangelic milieu claim it's deceiving people and conditioning them to fall for the antichrist. Makes me want to see it for sure then. Between Harry Potter and this movie I should be good and possessed by evil.
I haven't seen many later Spielberg movies but thought Lincoln was brilliant, mostly do to Daniel Day Lewis (he was superb as always).
