One thing is to create a good story which JJ clearly can do, another is to direct and make good movies out of them. I always thought MI3 sucked, just like MI1 and MI2 for that matter. So, when Star Trek came out, it was a good surprise to me, and started to consider JJ a director I should pay more attention to. Now, he made a dull, flat movie again, where even the story is empty, and don't know what to think of him again. The similarities with Spielberg exist, but only with the modern one, that in the last decade only managed to make half decent movies (except Munich, which is good), and not the 80's Spielberg, that would leave us in magic and wonder in almost every scene. I can't understand how it got such a high score at IMDb. Hope JJ does better next time
