although he seems to think he is underrated, apparently he bitched out that not many people went to see his latest "Black Bag" and blamed the world and the state of Hollywood and the film going public blah blah blah everything except the fact that it wasn't a very interesting or appealing movie, I like a lot of his movies but this one bored me, but that made Soderbergh sperg out

Black Bag was extremely good imo

I judge thrillers by how suspenseful they can be without karate chops or fake bullets. This one was like a 9.5/10 on that scale

I can see how the dialogue was a little too fast and went over most people's heads

lmao did you really just pull the "dialogue must have been a little too fast for you and went over your head" routine on me?

it wasn't too fast, it was perfect midwit fodder

Nah it could be boring if you were expecting a Bourne style movie

Saying that it's for midwits comes off defensive though

Yeah I could see being annoyed if I saw it on a theater

It did seem more intended for a stage performance

I bet if you watched it on an airplane you'd be more engaged

I like his movies.

He has a face that you absolutely want to punch the fuck out of though. No idea how people get that look

He is neither overrated nor underrated. He is the only American working who still remembers the silent grammar; he cuts like Eisenstein, when Eisenstein is dreaming of jazz. The Limey was pure Vertov, King of the Hill was early Renoir with the warmth drained out. Che was his Kagemusha, sprawling, misunderstood, too long for the cheap seats and not long enough for the mountaintop.

You want dialogue? Fast? Slow? Pithy? Then read intertitles. You want faces? Faces you want to punch? Watch Dreyer ffs. JMO, YMMV.

I think he is accurately rated. Very good, occasionally sublime, not great, sometimes bad.

I personally really like him because he takes chances and does experimental stuff.
