Say, for example, Kubrick and The Shining or Ridley Scott and Blade Runner or Jackson and The Lord of the Rings, as opposed to Shyamalan and The Last Airbender or Jackson and The Hobbit.

The Hobbit wasn't Jackson's fault. The studio was going to make the movies in that time frame with or without Peter Jackson, so he chose to helm the crashing ship.
