I mean which one was his last interesting film? Munich? That was 11 years ago.
I guess he should retire or try harder.

Disagree totally.After Munich he made 4 masterpieces:
Indy IV,War Horse, Tintin and Bridge of Spies so he cant retire.
There are many americans and english directors much younger that should retire(lol).
That isnt the Spielberg case,thank god.He must to do much more movies in a different gnere.Why he dont do a erotic movie?,a western?,a pirate movie?.He will to do "West Side Story so a music hall he will to do soon. -

I wholeheartedly agree. Well, I suppose Lincoln was seen as a return to form after the duds that were Crystal Skull, War Horse, and Tin Tin, but it still felt more like an HBO movie.

No - I'm going to disagree with the OP. He's become a lot more interesting. I think he still takes risks - War Horse, Tin Tin(in CGI - even though, the film wasn't that great), Lincoln(interesting film - not outstanding, but had its moments) and I did actually like Bridge of Spies a lot.

Steven Spielberg is the most interesting director of the cinema in the past 44 years. I love his current films like a bridge of spies, tin-tin, Lincoln, war horse. All masterpieces. Spielberg tackles difficult subjects. Racism, Abduction, D-Day invasion, Social change, third world countries, democracy, growing up, kids having fun, Boyhood, Theft, Robots, etc..

Bridge of Spies
was my favorite 2015 film. It's a lot more interesting than its reputation would suggest.
War Horse
and
Lincoln
are also both highly interesting in vastly different ways. The former is an ode to the cinema of the 1930s and 1940s, of Victor Fleming and John Ford films, of the epic Hollywood classics of yore like
Gone With the Wind
, and the latter almost more like a Roberto Rossellini docudrama about a particularly thorny time for a major political figure in American history. -

Indeed. It's the Corporate way he's more machine now than man.
Now if he could just make movie's as he did in 70s and 80s that would be great.
SPEILBERG MAKE YOUR FILM'S GREAT AGAIN !!!
