that's just it--he's not--he's tied himself down to an incredibly formulaic structure for every movie...and it gets worse every time, because what used to be a surprise you didn't see coming is now a drag because you're just waiting for a twist and you're aware of being manipulated. he should start making whatever he wants, instead of tying himself down with what is now a stale format. i think he's capable of much more, he's done such interesting stuff.
