I agree that what he does is extremely difficult, and he wouldn't have had this much success if he wasn't any good at it. But it's bizarre to me that he would even give the critics this much consideration.
And lest we forget: Roger Ebert gave The Rock 3 and a half damn stars! So it's not like critics are writing him off simply because of the genre he works in. If he wants to make an "art movie" then fine, have fun at the winery, but if all he really wants to do is silence the critics, it might just be a simple matter of making something good that can hold up to a little scrutiny.
