Why he might be annoying:

    He decided to direct the first two 'Harry Potter' movies instead of the more successful 'Spider-man' movie(s).
    He made many Harry Potter fans angry when he decided not to direct any more 'Harry Potter' movies.
    He directed and produced the Robin Williams bomb 'Bicentennial Man.'
    His name is confused with the explorer Christopher Columbus.
    Because of his name, he named his production company, 1492.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is a very successful director and his movies have grossed over $3.6 billion at the box office.
    He was chosen over Steven Spielberg to director Harry Potter because he promised the film would be entirely shot in the U.K.
    He will not director the last 5 Harry Potter movies because he wants to spend time with his family (in America).
    No one would buy his script of 'Gremlin's' until Steven Spielberg optioned it.
    He decided to make movies at fifteen after seeing 'The Godfather.'
