He's not, obviously. But he is highly visible.
... and so, you reject his art or just this particular movie?
Those two movies, actually. "I Am Legend" AND "I Robot". I liked his work in "The Legend of Bagger Vance" (an underrated film, IMO) and "Enemy of the State", to name two others.
I honestly believe that dumbing down a scholarly work so that more will appreciate parts of it is not as bad as not trying.
Scholarly works, maybe, popular literature, no. Never underestimate your audience.
Hollywood has always done this.
