Why Minority Report is a disappointment:

-It’s too long. Just when it should be ending, it starts again. It feels like it has a seven act structure when it could be done in three.
-It features too many cutsey, touchy feely Spielbergisms. Fake family scenes, cartoon baddies, get an obvious laugh type stuff (whats with the eyeball rolling scene – where’s the optic nerves?)
-Stylistically it’s not sure if it wants to be Gattaca, Blade Runner or maybe the Sixth Sense; they’ve saved money by using the sets left over from the last few Dreamworks productions.
-Ultimately, like A.I. it takes a fascinating idea, puts it through the Spielberg blender, changes the gray to black, whitens the white and turns out feel good, moral majority pleasing, entertainment lite.

On the plus side, the first 45 mins is pretty good and Colin Farrell puts in a cool performance. Also, the futuristic Washington traffic system is one of the more original things I seen since the suction tube transporters in Futurama (maybe).
