1941
Originally released: 1979
Oops! Not a bad movie really, just kind of messy, 1941 is that old story: a film-maker given too much money, too much freedom and too hard an act to follow. Spielberg slipped up with this Second World War action comedy, which forefronts Aykroyd and Belushi as well as a host of old faces. The action is incoherent and the comedy diffuse. A botched opportunity, but considering it's sandwiched between Close Encounters and Raiders, you gotta give the man a break!
