Have you been alseep for the last decade?

Saving Private Ryan
The Terminal
Catch Me If You Can
Munich
I thought War of the Worlds was awesome, and am always surprised to find some people didn't like it. A.I. is the only real clunker he's had but its a very interesting film, and Minority Report is quite good too. I'd say the latest batch of films are among the best he has ever done.

I guess it's just down to personal tastes. I quite liked AI but HATED War of the worlds and Saving private Ryan.

I'll admit I haven't seen all his films but 'The Terminal' and 'Catch me if you can' were OK but not great, 'A.I.' had some potential but had a some terrible acting and a terrible ending, 'Minority Report' was fairly dull and I don't have one good thing to say about 'War of the Worlds', but maybe 'Munich' was good. But still this is Spielberg and when it comes down to it the last Spielberg film I liked enough to buy on DVD was Jurassic Park (Well I have Jurassic Park 2 but in no way do I think that's a great film).

This man is a God of the movie industry who could make almost any film he wants and could probably get a larger budget than anyone else in Hollywood, but now we are putting up with bad scripts, bad effects and lazy film making. The really annoying thing is this could so easily have been a good film there's only a couple of big things wrong and then there's loads of little things, I really find it hard to believe they went through at least 5 writers and this is the best they got.

Surely no one thinks Indy 4 is one of the highlights of Spielberg's Career, it's not even the best film he's done in the last 10 years, of all the films you listed I would say Indy 4 only beats War of the Worlds, which was another nonsense Sci-fi script which didn't hold up to inspection and wasted so much potential.

Basically what I'm saying is share the blame, it's not just George's fault this film was bad.
