We've ranked all 33 of Steven Spielberg's movies, any guesses what's Number One?
and the first dino-sequel suggests he may have been right. A mission to protect the prehistoric residents of the previously unmentioned “Site B” lacks the original’s brilliant theme-park-gone-wrong hook, while the San Diego-set finale is laughably bad. Even so, a couple of classic Spielberg moments – notably velociraptors hunting in long grass – mean it’s not a complete wash-out.
Working from a script by renowned playwright Tom Stoppard, Spielberg mostly does the darker-than-usual material justice, but it feels more like one for him than one for his fans. Spielberg braves comedy for the first time since the 1941 disaster, but his breezy, screwball-ish take on legendary conman Frank Abagnale Jr’s memoir is also seriously lightweight.
Underwritten love interest Willie Scott , meanwhile, is no match for Karen Allen’s Marion Ravenwood. Time has done few favors to the film’s questionable portrayal of its Indian villains, though Temple of Doom does feature some of the best action sequences in the franchise.
He subsequently recruited a heavyweight cast including Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks to tell the story of the Washington Post’s pivotal decision to publish the “Pentagon Papers”, against then-President Nixon’s wishes. It’s a talky film, short on genuine fireworks, but Spielberg finds maximum drama in a 1970s newsroom.Spielberg’s second collaboration with Tom Cruise proves that Independence Day wasn’t the only way to make a CG-heavy alien invasion movie.
