Yeah because the script is the only thing important in cinema, a thousand people working in a movie to make it look and sound incredible and at the end we only valorate the work of one of them, the one that wrote the script, because that's all what cinema is about, a story written on a piece of paper... oh wait...

Once upon a time someone said there's 3 things your movie needs to be great: script, script, and script.

I disagree to some extent, but not much. A script is at least a good 50% of a movie to me.

Well that's bullshit. It higly depends on the movie, most of my favourite movies have great scripts sure, but there are great movies with just "ok" scripts. Star Wars has never been exactly Citizen Kane when it comes to scripts yet the original trilogy is widely considered a masterpiece. Cinema and literature are not the same, to say the most important thing of a movie is the script  is almost like saying the most important thing of music is the lyrics, it highly depends on the kind of movie or music we are talking about but in general I won't consider that a true statement at all.
