Well that's a shame. It sounded pretty good, judging from the article.
he's rarely directed anything for so long, mostly just producer. Even with those credits though, he's made a bunch of **** even by crowd pleaser standards. "Catch me if you can" would be the last decent one i saw, not hard to direct by any means, and "Saving Private Ryan" is the last i could call truly great.
If he is the most famous director, he's certainly not the best for the past 15+ years. To me he's lost all allure. Younger audiences only know his work from old **** their parents made them watch at home, and most of those classics, like Jaws and ET, haven't aged well
Jaws still holds up, but the rest of your post is spot on.
You’d have to go back a long way in the Steven Spielberg canon to find a worse marketed, lousy opening for one of his films as “The BFG” has just had. It just shows you, you can be the most famous director in the world and it still doesn’t matter if the studio isn’t behind you.
On Friday “The BFG” made $7 million. Movie trackers were spot on predicting a $21 million weekend (three days), with $24 mi by end of July 4th. “The BFG” cost $140 million.

Not much demand for wholesome, family entertainment these days.

I think Clint Eastwood has been one of the best for a long time......and I like his politics as well. Certainly not Spielberg's.
Although, Cate Capshaw is and always has been....HOT!
In The Quick and the Dead, my jeans would bulge every time she did a scene. She is very wholesome.
According to my girls who love wholesome family entertainment... the movie just wasn't that good.
My daughter, who also loves wholesome family entertainment, has no interest to see it and has nicknamed it the Big Fat Guy movie. We did finally see Finding Dory yesterday and loved it.
