You guys do know that i am a huge fan of JJ abrams right?

The only thing i don't like is Star Trek by him.

I like Lost, and Alias, have not really gotten around to watching fringe yet.

Okay i will admit i hated Cloverfield but he did not direct it unlike some would think.

And i hated his choice of using that guy from Coppote in MI3, and i am not a huge fan of tom cruise so that might have had something to do with me not liking the movie.

I don't necessarily hate JJ's style.  I think hunter might hate it but please don't bunch me together with another forum member my views are my own and i would hope unique.

The style of quick cuts and faced paced action worked excellently on Alias but that is not the style of Star Trek.

Even coming out of tv I think people like JJ abrams and Joss Whedon are the George Lucas and Steven Spielberg of this generation.  Too bad for Whedon though looks like dollhouse is a flop before it even airs.

I don't mean they are even close to what old school Lucas or Spielberg were just the Best i can think of of the young crowd of directors at the moment.  I would have considered Tim Kring in the past as a newcomer to watch but Heroes totally nuked the fridge.

I don't see the guy who directed batman begins and the dark knight as working in science fiction but Christopher Nolan would be on the list of young talents i would consider to direct a sci fi movie i i was the studios.

Or that guy who did Pans Labrinthe and the 2 Hellboy movies.  I can't think of his name at the moment.

Some would say John favreau who directed Ironman, i thought he was a dubious choice when he was announced as the director early on but the movie turned out okay anyways.  I am not a fan of him as an actor really so this guy was an unknown at least to me doing his first comic book movie.

Really ideally if you were a science fiction author or screenwriter there are a ton of people these days you would want to make your story on screen except for George Lucas or Steven Speilberg, those guys wore out their welcome with Indiana Jones IV.
