Like most people i had no idea what "the Fabelmans" was at first. But when finding out it was a semi-autobiography of Steven Spielbergs life, i thought it could be great.

It is good to a point. The guy playing a teenage Spielberg (here called Sam Fabelman) is good, and the movie is interesting enough in showing how he started off being interested in making movies, and built his craft behind real life problems.

Unfortunately though it doesn't go far enough and feels like a missed opportunity. Why not just make an autobiography and get to the stuff fans want to see in Spielbergs later life instead of changing everything and cutting it abruptly short. Its still a decent watch, even if it could of been so much more.
