Whoa! I didn't notice this thread. Great posts guys.
I am one of the "his early works are the best" type of pathetic fan. I think I have almost all his films (some pirated multiple pix per DVD set).
But as I said, I adore his early ones, Take the Money and Run, Bananas, Sleeper, Love & Death are all out funny (prompting THE comedian legend to say that Woody Allen is the fifth Marx brother).
Keep this thread going, guys.

Bananas is rather ordinary I thought.
Granted it has a great opening scene which is hilarious, the ridiculously funny take-out restaurant stick-up, the Castro get-up conquest, the subway sequence (Stallone !), the Edgar Hoover witness.....wait a minute....

Finally Saw Match Point
Must say it was only okay
Very on-the-surface storytelling, characterization. Very ordinary acting.
It is nowhere near Crimes and Misdemeanours with which it has thematic similarities
What does he see in Scarlett Johansson ?

Cruz won BAFTA in Supporting actress category. Well deserved.

Early ones were straight forward standup materials and slapstick which Woody did okay. The later ones are more cerebral. Some of it takes time to grow on you.
As Dave Barry said (in early 90s), "his humour gets more sophisticated day by day only Mia Farrow understood his jokes". But that is an exaggeration, of course.

Wondering the same thing, bro. She is freakin' bland.

Among others. But not acting performance? Want to list "others"?

From what little I have seen Diane Keaton is just awesome
In their first meeting in Manhattan there is a scene where she is talking and everyone is interrupting and she bounces from topic to topic, laughs at some inside jokes with her boyfriend, handles delicate conversational points with Woody (opinion about artists vEra enna !)...all this while walking on the streets.
Unbelievably good acting.
