Having seen all of his movies with the exception of his Star Wars (I have very strong views on SW) I have seen everything that he's done somehow. And I can honestly say that he is incapable of making a good movie. He is the perfect example of a film student where he's seen everything and has analyzed the techniques and methods but doesn't understand the art behind them. He didn't understand the feeling and why those great directors did what they did.

In his attempt to be artiste he comes across as disingenuine and contrived. He really loves Wes Anderson and tries to copy his camera style without coming up with his own style in the process. He doesn't use inspiration as a launching pad he uses it as a Bible to follow. And he tries to give his characters a trait like the Cohen's but when it's every character it doesn't come across as natural.

And his humor is terrible. Either the timing or the writing I don't know but he can't do it.

Writers and directors use their instincts to feel what is right and wrong and I think Johnson looks at every single word and moment and analyses it to understand the effect it will have. He has no instincts. He has no style. He should be directing TV show episodes where he belongs.

This movies exemplifies all of his bad qualities.
