A bit disappointing. After watching De Palma where the director revealed much of his inspiration, meaning and difficulties behind his movies, this documentary didn't say much more than what was already said. The last quarter of the movie was more about Spielberg's reputation rather than his movies. Spielberg may not be as technical as De Palma but expanding more on his sentiments and reasons for directing the films he chose would have added much more.
For example, during the shooting of Omaha Beach in Saving Private Ryan, Hanks brings up the issue where the sun was in the wrong position but Spielberg was able to overcome it and film it differently. It would have been better if Spielberg spoke about this instead.
