It’s like saying that when two cooks both make a dish from the same recipe the results will be exactly the same.

First, no one follows the script exactly. Something that sounds great on the page might seem silly when you try it in real life. Second, the directors will choose different actors, who will bring different interpretations to each role. Then there’s pacing. One director might make the build up to a fight very slow, to ramp up tension, while another will cut right to the action.
