I know people like him, and maybe I do to a tiny bit....but he's such a bore.
I haven’t seen his early films before Blade 2, yet, nor his last two films (Nightmare Alley, Pinocchio) but I’d have to agree with you, outside of Pan’s Labyrinth, I haven’t “loved” his other films. I will say he has a nice visual style, often.
I hope to watch Cronos and The Devil’s Backbone at some point this year.

They're all good movies. He makes good movies (except Shape of Water). But I am always only just barely interested.
I watched this about a year or so ago.
I remember seeing commercials for it when it first came out and thinking it was some kind of head-trip or sci-fi movie! (mostly because they featured dream sequences in the commercials).
But I never saw it until recently.
It's probably dated by today's standards, but since it featured a contemporary (I was around the same age as MJ Fox) parts of it were interesting. Plus it had Phoebe Cates (but as a kind of unlikable character)!
There are some good performances and some good and bad casting, but the story is unfocused and I never really bought Michael J Fox playing the bad boy.
So mad at the Times & The New Yorker. They both creamed themselves about this movie - a masterpiece, wonderful, blah, blah, blah. It’s none of these things!
Cheapskate Sean Penn involved in a 2021 movie that has no subtitles. Who does that these days! It got terrible reviews (though his daughter was kindly looked upon) so I didn’t miss anything.
Ana de Armas is very good as Marilyn Monroe, but I can’t watch this for 3 hours. Probably improved when Bobby Cannavale appears as Joe DiMaggio, but I couldn’t wait that long.
Got halfway through & lost the plot. I really liked the first Knives Out movie, but this one was very different. Great cast, but I got mighty confused with what was going on.

That might mean I'd like it as I really disliked the first Knives Out movie.
