He shares the screenwriting credit with Boyens, Walsh and Guillermo Del Toro for both "An Unexpected Journey" and "The Desolation of Smaug." How much that translates to genuine involvement is of course impossible to quantify, but he is the director after all, and has the final say in everything.

Except, you know, for the faceless men in a conference room at Warner Bros. who actually have the final say in everything.

Not entirely, or these films wouldn't be so darned long.
