Like in almost every Shakespearean tragedy, the character of Gigolo Joe serves as comic relief. And damn good comic relief, judging by the audience reaction when I saw it.
It's true what you said: Just because it's Spielberg doesn't make it a classic. Or even good. But you said it was the worst thing you had ever seen. How can that be? Of all the movies in the world, is it really the absolute worst one ever? Just because it's Spielberg, people put it up on this pedestal, which is what you're doing. It's not the worst film ever. It's just that, to you, it's not as good as Spielberg's other films. Or other classic sci-fi flicks. On its own, you might think differently. Or you might not. Eh, you're not converting me. But you have an absolute right to your own opinion, as I do mine.
