It has nothing to do with effects. Cinematography, maybe. but just because its refreshingly different. they are both good writers and badass directors.

I am not saying he does not bring in the big bucks. I am sure that there are a few that can understand his off tangent thoughts but, not me.
The special effects are just not blowing ---- up it could also include crosscutting.
George Lucas on the other hand, most of his movies tell a story and and has great cinematography.
