The last ten years Soderbergh's has given us 3 abysmal Ocean's film, 2 terrible Che films, one awful solaris, one totally misguided Informant! and one thrill free CONTAGION.
Damn, I would have loved to have seen his surreal, episodic film about the Korean War, modelled on Elem Klimov's Come and See, almost as much as his planned 'Ken Russell style' rock opera on the life of Cleopatra. Still, I think The Bitter Pill will be something to look forward to.
Having just seen CONTAGION; Soderbergh's decision to retire is a wise one, and not to mention, a welcome one.

An issue w/ modern filmmaking. He gets it: “If I see another over-the-shoulder shot, I’m going to blow my brains out.” - Steven Soderbergh about 8 hours ago via Read It Late
Even if he isn,T one of my favourite director, he's probably one of those wich I respect the most. He always made movie following his vision, whetever they are big success (but also well made) Hollywood movie like Ocean'S or Erin Brokovich, really indie gem (Bubble, Girlfriend Experience) or 4 hour biopic on a Socialist revolutionnary that probably cost a lost and earn little.
