I wonder why people can't just say they don't like his movies based on their own tastes. They have to try to bash the guy. If you just don't like his work, it's just your opinion, and stop acting as though you can make people share it.

Incidentally, the movie I like least of his is Pearl Harbor, but that wasn't that much his fault. The studio wanted to make it the next Titanic, for one thing. And on those grounds I am offended Transformers 2 has more critical hate. That movie didn't try to turn a tragic event into a cash cow (note Titanic was not anticipated to be such a hit when it was made).

The other movies I (mostly) like, so I can't put up a favorite.

@the bolded:

When you speak of Titanic not being anticipated to be such a hit, are you speaking of the same Titanic that cost 200 million to make and is still one of the most expensive single films to create in history, even 12 years later and had no equal in budget for 6 whole years and with inflation has the fourth highest budget ever for a film? That Titanic?

Why are you mentioning budget, when I clearly meant how much money it made? Again, how would any of them know the film would make three times its budget back? They way they worked the money made it clear they were hoping to just break even. Pearl Harbor was a crass attempt to duplicate what they thought was the formula that Titanic usd.
