"It's awesome". He felt this movie was better then the first - and probably my best, who knows - at this point in a movie you start to lose your objectivity. I just hope the fans like it. I'm going to start putting it in front of audiences in a few weeks - no you are not invited, yet.

I hate to be the hater, here, but Spielberg's approval doesn't mean much to me. I sat through that entire Jarjar Binks monstrosity of the pre-trilogy thinking, man, this surely is 'cruel and unusual punishment'. I've never seen romance with such little chemistry (let's face it: the Axe commercial where the girls are making out with metal objects made allegedly from recycled Axe cans had more passion); action without any real energy; and acting on the High School Musical done as a high school musical level.
The post-trilogy that was supposed to happen, didn't; because that series was so bloody awful.
Ever since he dreamed up Ewoks, Spielberg's aesthetic judgments haven't necessarily been on par with the rest of humankind.
Now, if he'd had a TF otaku with him who said that, my little decepticon heart would sing.....
HK, no singing. None of that now! ('But father...') (Random Holy Grail quote.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

Lately, he tends to wuss out at the last minute and throw in one last scene to try and make sure anyone who sees it isn't offended. Saving Private Ryan was AWESOME, regardless of what you say, but the bookends with the elderly Ryan going to the graveyard were hopelessly forced and preachy. The events themselves were powerful enough, we don't need some bawling old dude to beat us over the head with it.
He did the same thing with War of the Worlds. That movie was kicking ass and taking names up until they get to Boston. The whole country was devastated, but somehow Boston is fine, the son comes bounding out like nothing even happened, and the rest of the family is dressed in their Sunday best and asking what's for dinner. The movie should have ended right when the aliens started dying. Showing that crappy scene with the family just undermines the whole rest of the movie.
If Spielberg could learn that sometimes it's OK to make people uncomfortable and stop throwing in these cop-out scenes, he could very easily make an awesome movie.
That being said, Revenge of the Fallen will kick ass. Michael Bay was born to make these movies.
