My bad. I look at their average movies, not just one or two. Wan has more films that I like, compared to Mr Jon.
Btw, I think his best movie is Chef, not Iron Man.

Dollars earned doesn't mean better director. eg I don't think any Scorsese film has broken a billion, but The Departed, Goodfellas and Aviator are above and beyond anything Wan has directed and that's a fact.
I never said that. I'm looking at their entire filmography. To be honest, Wan isn't even in my top 20 favorite directors, but his contribution to film is undeniable. In my humble opinion, it's harder to pull off a good horror movie, than it is comedy (I'm just comparing early careers at this point, because that's all Jon did). You need the right type of storyteller, cinematography, and other horror elements to do what Wan has done, which is why they call him the new king of horror.

The Wan billion joke?
Both the conjuring movies are near perfect, imo. And I generally hate modern horror. I find them boring.
Saw was a cult classic, too. A smart horror that spawned a lot of shit sequels.

The Conjuring was okay, certainly not a masterpiece. The sequel was worse.
I actually loved the sequel a lot more. It has a great RT score, if that's your thing. Anyway, my top 20 directors, in no order, for the exception of the top 2:
1. Alfred Hitchcock
2. Billy Wilder
3.scorsese
4. Wes Anderson
5. Dario Argento
6. Clint Eastwood
7. Gerorge Romero
8. Spielberg
9. Sergio Martino
10. Kubrick
11. Sergio Leone
12. Jim Jarmush
13. Daren Aronofsky
14. Frank Darabont
15. Quentin Tarantino
16. David Fincher
17. Kurosawa
18. Miyazaki
19. Ridley Scott
20. Chaplin/Gibson
Why did Momoa perform a Haka/Maori dance in the premiere? He isnt Maori. Hes German /Samoan raised in Iowa. Maoir or Islanders are not even featured in this movie or have anything to do with it.
Besides Temuera, but his heritage isnt even brought up in the film (that i remember), so his character in the movie is just an American dude that lives in a light house. Why is this movie pushing the Maori/Islander card?
