Spielberg has masterfully brought a lot of different film languages together, but he hasn't necessarily invented one all his own. That's what I'm missing with him.

Personally, I like the original and unique voices the best, even if they don't quite hit the same high notes as a big budget, classic Hollywood style, mainstream director like Spielberg might hit. Yeah -- Spielberg can put a show on in a crowded theater, but he's not really pushing the envelope as much as other people I would rate above him.
