Actually, he directed none of those. He was the producer. Honestly, Spielberg is good at directing, but bad at producing. He hasn't directed very many sci-fi movies in the past couple years. Since TLW, Spielberg has directed 3 Sci-fi flicks: Minority Report, A.I., and War of the Worlds. That's two hits and a miss. A.I. was overshadowed by JP/// in the US, Minority Report (IMO) is a very good suspenseful science fiction film, and WotW.... well.... okay I can't say anything legitimately good about that one. Pretty effects though. Key point: don't judge a director on what they have done, but what they can do. Spielberg's best work is done when he's directing. In the past 2 years, Spielberg has directed 3 great films: TinTin, War Horse, and Lincoln. There is no way Spielberg has lost his touch. He just doesn't have a good judge for other directors.
