i probably wouldn't bother but it's our boy Stevie so it'll be beautiful and sound gorgeous (take yet another bow John Williams) and all in all be a bit lovely.
People have said it looks boring - well, ok, so you don't like slower movies - and maybe it does look a bit soaked in golden tones but the book is great (take that as FACT from an ex teacher, Morpurgo is a class act) and so the film should be great.
The thing with Spielberg (and this is rare in Hollywood) is that he understands Britain. He gets it because he bothers to learn about a place before flying over to shoot here. He's been doing it for ages and he's schooled in British film from Ealing comedies to David Lean. He does not bugger about with American-ising things, he respects other cultures and nations and that is why he is a success - he is educated, he is intelligent, he cares about what he does.
And by the way, some of us still enjoy watching Crystal Skull - it's way better than anything out this summer, last summer or many summers prior to that. Now let the man make some other movies would ya?!
