Most overrated film-maker

I never said he was my favourite. I said he was good. You might want to go back and open your eyes when you read things. My favourites are Martin Scorsese and Jean-Luc Godard I dont think I have much to learn, dear, especially as Tarantino has been copying those two for his whole career.

Pure and Simple, George Lucas
Money grabbing tosspot, who totally sold out with Episodes 1,2,3
Biggest pile of s**t films I have seen in years, purely a money making excersize for Lucasfilm. Bad Acting, Bad production, Bad direction and the most dissapointing 'turn to the darkside' I could of imagined.
One second a Jedi next second most evil man in the universe, don't make me laugh!

I don't think Spielberg is over-rated at all, I thoroughly enjoy his movies, and they have become darker over the years.
Lucas, yes I would say is over-rated, though frankly it's the acting in the Star Wars films, rather than the direction which lets them down.
Tarantino is not over-rated. He's made no secret of stealing ideas and scenes from Asian movies and the Hong Kong scene, so slagging him off for it won't change a thing. I think it takes a lot of talent to crib from other films, yet still produce a piece which feels totally original (though his scriptwriting could do with a bit of work - From Dusk til Dawn contains a lot of the same lines as Pulp Fiction, and probably True Romance, but it's been a while since I've seen it).
I'd say Lars von Triers is over-rated, definitely, but I don't think Kubrick is. Orson Welles, maybe - but he did do things with a camera which had never been done before, and which are used in abundance today. He may have been a great man, but I'm not convinced about him being a great director.

I can't explain it, thats whats so frustrating.
Don't get me wrong I loved the first 3 films, I must have watched episode IV a million times, but I really think the prequels where totally unneccasary.
They were badly done and IMO they were simply made to make money and not for the fans of Star Wars.

It has to be Tarantino for me. Don't get me wrong I think some of his movies aren't bad, but some that get a lot of credit are bad IMO.
