He's had a series of hits, has won awards, received rave reviews.
Most of his movies in the last 15 yrs have either triumphed in at
least one way; sometimes as in the case of Gladiator in every way:
with critics, with fans, with the academy.
I must say however that the only Scott movie I love is Blade Runner. I
like Duellists and Alien. But, while I admire the professionalism and dedication evident in his films starting with Black Rain, I find them impersonal, even cold and mechanical. Legend, as silly as it was,
still qualifies as a personal movie, more interesting than what
followed. But, you gotta admire Scott's durability, his keen
survivalist instincts in a dog-eat-dog industry, and consistency and
stamina.
