I didn't see Azkaban, but agreed about the other two. I still don't know why people seem to bust a nut over Del Toro, Iñárritu, and Rodriguez, but give Cuaron less acclaim. I like Del Toro's taste - he likes some of the same artists and films I do - but as a filmmaker he's pretty hit or miss. Iñárritu is uninspired, and Rodriguez is good at what he does but doesn't aim very high. Cuaron is the only one where I feel "this guy has huge potential." Some of the shots in Children of Men were utterly brilliant.

I love Cuaron. The prisoner of azkaban was tolerable mostly thanks to the director, I really don't like Harry Potter, but that one was pretty fun, he won me over. Some of the scenes in the Children of Men are fucking genius. I can't wait to see what happens when somebody hands him a good script. So yeah, guy needs to make more movies, it's a shame he gets no work.

Edit: oh. he directed great expectations

John Woo

Cuaron did a great job on Harry Potter, it was the best of all by far. Anyway he's perfect for the Hobbit.

Okay, hit it, Michael Bay!

Guillermo has made one brilliant movie and that one is Pan's Labyrinth.

how so, does it show its age in a bad way?

I like the original clash of the titans. Or stuff like clay . Stuff that takes work. CG is usually crap unless its like a cartoon.

It just seemed as if he had too many great ideas that they weren't able to create so the make-up ended up looking like crap and the story was fairly uninteresting. All in all, I don't think anyone should watch The Devil's Backbone after having watched Pan's Labyrinth. The other way around should work though.
