It Wasn't THAT Bad Spielberg doesn't make appauling movies, he just can't, it's not in his gene! 1941 came close, critics hated it, Spielberg hated it, I liked it. It's no where near close to a great film, but for what it is, its a amusing look on paranoier in the USA after the PEARL HARBOR attack, alas it would be many years before they'd even talk about an equilivant to 9/11 (Dont get me started on that issue!)
