Unlike a lot of people, I'm not so delusionally vain as to imagine that I could really direct a movie better than a director, in the same way that I don't imagine I could make a better president than whoever is in office.
The only thing I find is that sometimes I wish a movie could have been paired up with a different director, one that was more adept at suspense, or comedy, or whatever.
I am legend with Will Smith. I mostly enjoyed the film but had a few ideas that could have kept it like the book down to the ending and would not have had cheesy CGI monsters. They looked terrible.
I am not a professional but I feel I could have done better than a few. Can we include writing too? Here's my short-list:
Batman Forever: Wasn't horrible but I think Val Kilmer could have been a better Bruce Wayne if directed right. That's the main knock on the film to me.
Batman & Robin: Wasn't THAT bad but I feel Bane was useless muscle in the movie. That and I would have made George Clooney give the mantle to Robin (Nightwing) as he wasn't Batman. He was a GREAT Bruce though (more so now.)
Green Lantern: Blake Lively made the movie somewhat bat as Carol Farris. Now whether that was her acting, the writing, the direction or a mix, who knows.
Sky High: Under-rated kids movie about being superheroes BUT I think there was some things missing.
X-Men 3: The Last Stand: Bad direction and story. The Phoenix was stupid to any fans of the comics or 90's tv show (I am the latter.) It came from good source material but the characters were very weak and under-developed including Juggernaut, Kitty Pride and Beast.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine: HORRID writing and directing. Whoever decided to shut up Deadpool and give him different mutant powers was stupid. I'd rather just create your own "Mimic" style character and not be loved. That and besides Hugh Jackman and the guy who played Stryker, the acting wasn't the best.
I think i could give advice to a few directors and script writers. I'm really disappointed at so many horror sequels. Especially Amityville 3, which i had high hopes for. The original music by Lalo Schifrin from part 1 and 2 was left out!
