Wow. I'm not a big Spielberg fan, but he got me here. I really, really liked this movie.

Dull, ponderous and pointless yet saved by the final 45 minutes!

Saying a movie is pointless; that could apply to almost any movie. Also you realize the final 45 minutes wouldn’t be so good without everything before it?

I didn't feel like anything before it added to the final 45 minutes, so no.
Once more a classic by Spielberg. Another masterpiece.
