I've seen most of his films, and most are mediocre at best.
Black Hawk Down is his most solid film, Blade Runner too, but the rest just lack good filmmaking: Gladiator, Hannibal, G.I. Jane, Thelma and Loiuse, etc.
Black Hawk Down is one of my favorite films, and what I'm trying to get at, is I'm not sure what to think of Matchstick Men. Ridley Scott is a decent director, his films just don't do anything for me. Matchstick Men looks ordinary at best, but reviews have just been amazing, for a film like that. So chances are, I think I'm going to be surprised by Ridley Scott when I see this film today.
