Is the director responsible for the entertainment factor of the movie? To me many elements go into the entertainment value of a movie. Course we are all different, just seems to me that to hang a lack of entertainment on Sam Mendes or any of the other directors is a bit of an over reach.

Sam Mendes as the director is a big part and factor in how the film turns out. I can only go by the way I experience the films, and his two films didn't have me at the edge of my seat the way CR or QoS did (as an example). I guess I'm not fond of auteur films like SF, and my dislike of SP have been well covered enough already.

I always got the feeling that Craig was a big factor in how SF and SP turned out, hence why Mendes fell out with him.
Isn't Craig a prima donna on set, the likes of say Ed Norton?
