Oh, I think almost everything Ridley's made in the last decade or so is crap with the exception of Kingdom of Heaven, and I guess Black Hawk Down which I still found vastly overrated. I also thought White Squall was hilarious, but beautiful for the homoerotic eye candy. And I have never liked Black Rain or Someone to Watch Over Me, despite some gorgeous visuals.
That said, when he's on, he's on, and when he's good he's good, and this still looks very good to me.
