4. "The director does have say in the story" In response to In response to 2
I mean, he does deserve some blame for that. But they also have a problem with the hyperactivity of the camera, quick editing, what not. I don't have a problem with that and think he's one of the best action directors out there.
He definitely has his flaws but people go crazy when trying to bash him. He needs a strong producer to work the story while he focuses on the visuals.
