He is more vanilla than many of his counterparts, but he makes well made and entertaining movies. Age of Ultron suffers somewhat in the storytelling department and some of the action is too close up and too edited, but the movie has personality and is definitely entertaining. It hits all the emotional cues imo.
He is a more interesting filmmaker than someone like J.J. Abrams as far as I'm concerned.
Then you have someone like Abrams - who I believe is an excellent technical director, but should never write a movie under any circumstance. He has his weaknesses (excessive camera movement and lens flairs), but overall he can shoot a movie really well.
JJ Abrams in a good technical director in very superficial ways. He doesn't have an original bone in his body.
It isn't his writing that is the main issue, it is the lack of any authenticity in the presentation. Alien: Covenant for example is a mess from a writing standpoint, but from a visual standpoint it is magnificent. J.J. Abrams could only dream of being an authentic visual filmmaker.
