He’s good. I think his biggest problem is how much he buys into his own pretentiousness. Everything from Inception onwards has felt very “guys looks at all the A R T I’m making.”
Obviously has a clear skill set for imagery and effects, and he is one of the few popular filmmakers left that champions celluloid. But I’d be curious to see what sort of pull he’d have if he never made one and a half good Batman movies out of three.

Speilberg maybe? I could see netflix throwing stupid money at him.
Kingdom of Heaven Director's Cut is really great.the biggest, most obvious knock is that bloom was an awful casting choice but in a weird way, his cardboard performance makes the movie better because you can ignore the boring protagonist’s character arc and enjoy the world he’s living in
I think his biggest problem is how much he buys into his own pretentiousness.this comes close to articulating my distaste for him. he postures as hollywood’s Big Ideas guy but is really oblivious how his movies all seem to want to slide into tedious schlock. theyre designed to give the affectation of having been clever. he’s obviously got a ton of skill for the craft of filmmaking though.
Related, there's some revisionism around the Schumacher Batmans because of the endless pendulum of the grimdark/camp debate but I'm pretty sure it's like SW prequel revisionism and they're just bad.

I mean how many marvel movies are there now and how many feel like that?

as bad as they are, I've rewatched, but don't feel I'll ever rewatch the sequel tril. both are bad, but with the sequels and other disney it's watch it once and forget forever

Are people here discussing Kingdom of Heaven just being contrarian? I gave the dir. cut a go after seeing Rumbler rated it years ago and i did enjoy it i guess, but still found an overly long middling epic with occasionally rousing battles imo. I didn't care for it's portrayal of history or Bloom's tediously noble performance. It needed an unrestrained powerhouse to guide it like Crowe throughout Gladiator.
Also, Stro has fuckin' terrible takes jesus christ. The Duellists, Blade Runner, Alien, Thelma and Louise and Gladiator are all great with a smattering of solid popcorn flicks filling out the ranks.
Alien is an all timer. Blade Runner fucking sucks but looks great. Gladiator is absolute schlock.

Gladiator
Did it start the trend of 'Heroes Journey' character movies? :thinking
2049 really leans into how important the visuals were to the first film; love both myself.. but 2049 takes it for me.
You misunderstand, at some point there was a shift in mainstream Hollywood blockbusters from movies like Die Hard, which was just good cop shoots bad guys
But that's now how the movie is presented to the general publicYou misunderstand, at some point there was a shift in mainstream Hollywood blockbusters from movies like Die Hard, which was just good cop shoots bad guys

Inception is good because it is nature's noblest and most majestic creature: a heist movie.
In 2020 we off White Guy Crime movies. We need to sanction Martin Scorcese and then push for a full embargo of any of his movies
