Problem for me is, Spielberg hasn't put out anything I've been interested in since Jurassic Park: simply put, he's the little boy who never grew up, while I did. The other problem is, we've got PLENTY of loud and bombastic CGI-laden flicks in the theaters now. In point of fact, between comic book superhero movies and animated kids flicks (that are "funny for kids but have clever jokes the adults will like too!!" ...ugh), those two things are just about all we DO have left in the theaters. And I'm much closer to 50 than I am 40 now...and I'm not an overgrown manchild living at my mom's house...so I don't have much interest in finding Easter Eggs in movies...and I kinda prefer movies that don't need to try to blow me out of my seat with noisy special effects in order to have an impact...and this movie comes across like a movie that needs to try and blow me out of my seat with noisy special effects in order to have an impact because that is all it has going for it...
