    If he was in War of the worlds in stead of Ol'tom, that movie would've rocked. I liked everyhting about WOTW though, except the end, Tom Cruise, Tim whathisface and the screaminglittle girl.
    I guess that leaves the Aliens and explosions

    A happy ending does not mean it is mushy; especially with all of the pain it took to get there.

    yeah but if the incidences that provide the happiness of his ending stretch belief too much, ie his son somehow suriviving what looked like a blanket airstrike w/o a scratch on him, and then somehow making it to his grandparents on foot just as fast as the cruiser did, then it feels contrived, unrealistic and i leave feeling a bit cheated & patronised.

    Oh I do concur ! The ending of WoW was a let down; I was referring to many of Steve's film's that some may find mushy; most are not (Munich, Schindler's, SPR, Amistad, The Color Purple, Empire of the Sun .... )

    Some of his movies that definitely have a great ending are the Indiana Jones flicks. True, they're up-beat....but that's what Indiana Jones is supposed to be. The "warm feeling" and camaraderie between the characters at the end of all three films continues the adventure for the audience and fits in perfectly with the flick.
