The discussion on Disclosure Day got me to wondering if Steven Spielberg ever made a bad movie. The worst movie I can think of that Spielberg made was Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It was awful and disrespectful to the three movies in the series that came before it. Another awful Spielberg movie was Always, starring Richard Dryfus as a pilot who was killed and somehow comes back to haunt another pilot who falls in love with Dryfus' girlfriend. Just a terrible plot and a stupid movie.

One of Spielberg's best movies, IMO, is one that rarely gets talked about. Duel, stars Dennis Weaver as a motorist who gets terrorized by an other-worldly semi truck.

Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls was so bad. I am not sure how they came up with that story line. It was just horrible. Anytime you are dealing with as many movies as Spielberg has he is gonna have some stinkers. My biggest problem was the ones that happened to be stinkers. All he had to do with the Raiders franchise is just continue with some good adventure stories and he failed.
 
I'm going with Bridge of Spies as my least favorite, the sole reason being that Mark Rylance won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for it over Tom Hardy in The Revenant, who IMO was robbed.

Leo won best actor somehow when Tom Hardy was so much better than him in that one.

I was shocked when Decaprio won best actor. I thought it was just an OK performance. I thought he was much better in Django Unchained, but he was never even nominated for best actor in a supporting role, which was won by Christoph Walsh from the same movie.
 
Compared to The Dial of Destiny, Crystal Skull is a masterpiece. :rolleyes:
These must have really made Temple of Doom look good since no one is bashing it. All I remember about ToD is that it was a crapfest. I was 13 when that came out and thought it sucked then. Luckily they pulled me back for The Last Crusade, but I haven't seen one since that.
