    I’m asking this trying not to sound like a dick, but sincerely - what Abram’s work do you like? His entire filmography looks so weak these days, and it’s even worse if we just evaluate him as a director.

    I liked Super 8, but that’s all that stands out to me. Even that maybe felt more “Spielberg at home”, but it was entertaining.

      I enjoyed the Alias and Fringe series, especially the overall concept. They both staggered hard for the last season or so. I didn’t realize Regarding Henry was a film of his, which I thought was excellent. I didn’t mind Felicity, but I think Alias was a better spin on the core concept.

      Yes, as a director, im not overly impressed, but like I said, I liked his ideas, and the initial setup, but the wrap-up sucked. The last has a much bigger impact on movies, and wrapping up established world will only highlight his weaknesses.
