When good directors go Bad

[BluBonnet]

I wouldn't put Lucas in this category, from a technical viewpoint, the prequels are far more sophisticated than the earlier movies he directed. While many fanboys like to pick on him, younger viewers who came to the prequels with an open mind really liked the newer movies. An honestly, Jar Jar is no worse than the Ewoks were - and in fact many children are enormously fond of them.

Even Francis Coppola is a better candidate than Lucas, he can never surpass the movies he made in the early part of his career, though he's made some quirkly indie films more lately.
