And to be fair to Coogler a bit...it's not like he has any BAD movies.

But I'm in that group that feels that while I did enjoy Black Panther, I wasn't especially moved by it or anything.

Creed and Fruitvale Station are good. Just not amazing.

49ers..Braves..Celtics
Ryan Coogler

The rest don't have the reputation or fame to be overrated, I don't think.
Maybe Raimi with Spiderman.

He has one that's pretty bad..

Jon Watts and Peyton Reed are praised but they are nothing but an extension of a studio arm... generic in every way.

Raimi hasn't put out a good movie in 20 years.

watching too many terrible Tre Jones/Jakob Poeltl pick and rolls fried OPs brain

but to answer the question:
Coppola hasn't done anything worth rewatching since Jimmy Carter was still in office

What the hell is it about this guy that people flock to watch his movies?

Let me be brief.

This man's entire career comes down to two movies. Two.

Aliens (the 1st one only)
Terminator 2: Judgment Day

That's it. At least in terms of GREATNESS.

Everything else he's ever directed has one one big budget overrated piece of shyt after another.

Terminator 1? Yeah it's good. But it's clearly not in that elite tier. Like if you looked at Scorcese's catalog, it wouldn't be Goodfellas. It would be Cape Fear. Like, yeah people have seen it. It's good. But nobody really goes back and gives a shyt. That's what The Terminator is.

Titanic? Avatar? Honestly, I can't understand the big deal. Popular. Insanely profitable. Crap.
I suppose you could make an argument for The Abyss but be honest with yourself. Nobody has watched that movie. If you say you did, you're lying. Or maybe you were forced to by a substitute science teacher in middle school.

:hubie:
I'm one of the few people who think the first Terminator is better than the 2nd.

I'm upped this thread because I rewatched the first Aliens.
That shyt is an experience :wow:

The first Aliens is Alien :francis:

A ton of movies ripped off that ship crew banter format after it, it was almost a meme in the 80s

I liked the first Alien, but the second movie is on another level.

That's saying a lot because the first movie is incredible
