The Thread in which we trash George Lucas

I didn't know anyone considered Steven Spielberg pretentious. He's a director that was dismissed by close-minded snobs for a long time, before they came around to accept him.
If anything I feel like he's been singled out at times for not being pretentious.

I agree that the ending was the worst part of War or the Worlds, but I still mostly loved that movie. I feel like it really didn't know how to end.
Everything up through the Tim Robbins sequence was fantastic. Then they sort of just stumble into a happy ending.
On the whole I don't understand why a lot of people pan that entire movie.
