The "Fury" actor said the filmmaker is less of a director and more of a movie making company, reported Variety.
"I grew up with this idea, if you got to Spielberg, that's where it is. You get there, and you realize you're not meeting the Spielberg you dream of. You're meeting a different Spielberg, who is in a different stage in his career. He's less a director than he is a company," LaBeaouf said.
According to him, he did not have a scope to grow as an actor when he worked with the director.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker directed LaBeaouf in "Disturbia", "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" and "Eagle Eye", but the actor said, "I don't like the movies that I made with Spielberg. The only movie that I liked that we made together was Transformers one."
The 30-year-old actor was specially disappointed by the poor critical reception the Spielberg-directed "Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull" received in 2008.
