Anyone else think Taika Waititis work is shit?

[Yeahnah2020]

I just don’t get the big deal about him? Don’t rate his movies at all and his personality is questionable also.

Oh I really love his stuff, disagree I’m afraid!

Nope, love his work. Haven’t seen JoJo Rabbit yet, but my daughter loved it. Loved “Hunt for the Wilder people”, “Boy” and “Eagle v Shark”.
He does a fine pathos/poignance thing without drifting into cloying or mawkishness.

Why aren't you elaborating on his 'questionable personality'? We all really enjoy his work here. And no, as PP said the BBC had no hand in the TV show of What We Do In The Shadows. He wrote the majority of the scripts.

what?
I think you have to have a certain sense of humour to get some of his stuff but I love him

Still not sure what I feel about Jojo rabbit Other than that wasn’t enough crazy Hitler in it

Agree with the many posts about Hunt for the Wilderpeople, it's one of my favourite films.

Why does something have to be shit just because you don’t like it?

He ticks all the Hollywood boxes doesn’t he. But I think he’s a bit emperors new clothes.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople was such a beautiful and engaging film. In all his films you can see the spark that his directorial style brings to the actors and the scenes.

What We Do In The Shadows was fantastic and THAT scene in Thor: Ragnarok with The Immigrant Song was breathtaking.

I think YABU as he is extremely talented but perhaps just not to your taste.

What Hollywood boxes does he tick? I think he’s quite unusual for Hollywood.

I love all of his films that I've seen. I did a "werewolves not swearwolves" cross stitch for DS's room a while ago.

WtF? How is his personality questionable?

I really enjoyed Thor: Ragnarok, found it v funny and a good pace (and obviously you have to accept it's a Marvel Superhero film not Truffaut). He was also good in it- loved his character.
DD saw Hunt for the Wilder People at school and said it was brilliant.

I haven't heard anything about his "personality"...

DC started listening to Led Zeppelin after watching Ragnarok, so that's good.

Nah, I'm a Kiwi and I fully rate him. His movies are great and his 'Advert for racism' () gets him lots of good guy points too.

I love all of his films that I've seen. I did a "werewolves not swearwolves" cross stitch for DS's room a while ago

NEED!!!!

Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a great film. I do firmly prefer Wes Anderson's work though @FourEyesGood

Hunt for the Wilderpeople and Jojo Rabbit were both brilliant films. I have yet to see Ragnarock but it’s on my list. Jojo Rabbit was one of the best films I’ve seen.

Loved JoJo Rabbit.
Just here to find out about his personality... come back, OP!

Oh god, I love him. What We Do In The Shadows and Thor:Ragnarok are among my favourite films (never said I was erudite, did I?).

He's great at the juxtaposition of dark and light themes.

I LOVE Eagle versus Shark. It was such a great film. And what we do in the shadows was so funny.

But I am a massive Flight of the Conchords fan and I think he had a hand in a couple of the episodes.

So YABU OP. Just cos you think he's shit, doesn't mean he is.

Just because you don't like something doesn't mean that it is inherently shit, OP. I've even seen people call Synecdoche, New York (dir. Charlie Kaufman) a bad film, it's not at all bad just not to everyone's taste.

No, I think he's great and love his work.

@CrowleysBentley that sounds ace! Was there a pattern or did you draw it up yourself?

I think he’s handsome

What's the issue with his personality? His work is hit and miss, but Shadows and Ragnarok were fabulous. Haven't seen JoJoRabbit yet but DD1 loved it.

Nope! Loved Ragnarok ( Lokilocks is right - best cinema use of Zep ever! ) DS really liked Jojo Rabbit ... What's wrong with him? Is it the humourous Hitler that's pissing you off?
