That's the way I see it. The director has an a firm idea of how they would like it to look and the DoP translates that to the screen.
I'm going to give this release the benefit of the doubt at the moment until the reviews come out. If the framing results in people being cut in half or that kind of nonsense, then I wont entertain it. But the cropping example given in that link posted by Jonnny doesn't look bad. Lets be honest, if you didn't have the comparison, would you have noticed?
