I thought Cuaron was far and away the best director in terms of really letting the actors act and keeping the special effects from overshadowing the performers (dumb not!werewolf beast thing notwithstanding). I wish he had done more of the films. Apparently he was offered Book 4 but he was too overextended and exhausted.

oh, i hadn't heard that! what a pity. and i agree; putting aside the uhhh "werewolf" the film really felt more like a film than any of the others and less like it was a series of related events that just happened to be on screen :P

(i'm... not a huge fan of the movies, haha)
