He directed both Star Trek and Star Wars, huuuge movies. Did MI3, Super 8 and tv series like Alias, Lost or Felicity. His company is producing a bunch of films too...i mean, that guy´s work ethics.....

i think just one of these is great. Super 8 is the worst offender: All the style of an 80s Spielberg flick with none of the heart

What's funny is that Super 8 has more heart to me than anything Spielberg has done since ... ET? I thought it was a perfect love letter, not only to Spielberg but to cinema, to the joy of imagination and the infinite possibility of childhood.

It doesn't feel like an imitation or a pastiche to me at all. It's a perfect homage while still being all JJ in and out. I think it's a great movie. Far better than something similar like Stranger Things, for example.

i agree with this. Super 8 felt super honest and i loved the ending. But still, even if i dont like whatever JJ does, he really know how to craft a movie, a series or whatever. He might be still finding his true voice as an artist, i dont know, but im impressed with his work.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
