Most of his films do follow a formula, or at least don't deviate far from it.
It was also pointed out that he excels at it. If you're looking for that kind of movie, he's the best at it.
I think finding one thing you excel at and mastering it is what any of us should strive to do, and MS has done this. Other directors branch out more, but as a result their filmography is more hit or miss, since they're better at one kind of movie than another. Scorsese has a great batting average but that's because he's stuck to formula that works for his audiences. The settings and characters change, yet things follow a similar course. And it's engaging. But diversity isn't exactly a badge that Martin can wear.
Edit: And that said, I'm hoping Flower Moon is a bit of a change of pace for him. We'll see.
