Summary
spread out throughout Hollywood are movies that are just a small disappointing , top me to believe that they would have been more impactful with a unlike directormaking some fragile changes to the account . In some of these cases , I have a grueling sentence describing exactly what went amiss when it just feels a little bland . The director ’s occupation includes understanding how a multitude of small changes will make a movie well . In the back of my thinker is the obscure mind that some lackluster movies would have been spectacular if one of thetop Hollywood directors had applied their styleto them .
big movies would have been good and good movies would have been salutary if they had been directed by Tim Burton and infused with his spooky style .
8Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines (2003)
Should Have Been Directed By David Fincher Or Ridley Scott
Several majordirectors exceed onTerminator 3after James Cameron turned down the offering to revert , including David Fincher , Ang Lee , Ridley Scott , and Steven Spielberg , primarily due to them all being busy with other projects . The job eventually lead to the comparatively unknown director Jonathan Mostow;Terminator 3is still his most well - make out project . Mostow and the team of author were given a tricky job with this pic . This was the third clock time the franchise was going through the motions of a Terminator coming back in time to kill one of the Connors , a scenario that was starting to become redundant .
Terminator 3 take the easiest narrative choice of tell that the hereafter is pliant , undo the implications of the previous movies .
Terminator 3would have gain from a director who likely could have spearheaded a more complex frameworkfor the continuation of the time - change of location storyline and the question of whether the future can be changed . Fincher directed twisting , cunning narratives forSe7enandThe Social web ; Scott ’s experience with profoundly simple sci - fi scenario also would have been valuable . Terminator 3takes the easiest narrative choice of saying that the future tense is malleable , undo the implications of the former movies . A managing director unforced to shape with the writer to find a more unmanageable answer would have helped this movie exist up to its harbinger .

The film introduces the T - X , a new robotic assassin , which forces Connor to join strength once again with his former adversary , the Terminator , to combat the looming Skynet threat .
7City Of Ember (2008)
Should Have Been Directed By Alfonso Cuarón
City of Emberis a weird movie where I have an exceedingly hard time figuring out what about it does n’t forge . The sequence of events makes comparative sense , as do the action of the main characters as they find a way out of their hush-hush urban center . The premise is rich with potential , andwhile this movie does n’t find the clock time to explore the story behind Ember , there may have been plans to do this in a sequel(City of Ember 2was canceled ) . to boot , early - career Saoirse Ronan matched with Bill Murray and Toby Jones should have been a striking .
However , City of Emberperhaps failed because it did n’t bring anything profoundthrough the serviceable adventure story . The movie ’s only an hour and a half long — there was more time to delve into the universe . The studio might have thoughtMonster Housedirector Gil Kenan teamed up withNightmare Before Christmaswriter Caroline Thompson would infuse the story with more nervous view . What Alfonso Cuarón did withChildren of MenandHarry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban , imparting a heap more about the mount through symbolism rather than dialogue , might have work forCity of Ember , making it a compact but still meaningful film .
Cast
6The Wolverine (2013)
Should Have Been Directed By Ang Lee
The Wolverineis just another installment inFox’sX - Menuniversethat puts right smart too much focusing on Wolverine when its better moving-picture show showcase other fibre . It ’s not the bad movie of this franchise , but it does go down some predictable paths and still hinges on the one - sided romanticism between Logan and Jean . What ’s baffling is that James Mangold went on to directLogan , a far superscript film . Mangold also wroteLogan , which go as a standalone . Therefore , maybe a disconnection between the music director and writers and the demands of put up the nextX - Menmovie are to find fault .
As far as a dissimilar theatre director who could have improvedThe Wolverine , Lee would have been a strong choice . Lee is , of class , hump for the milestone moviesCrouching Tiger , Hidden Dragon , Life of Pi , andBrokeback Mountain , which broke ground in storytelling , visuals , and stage dancing . His superhero experience is directingHulk , an overall average picture . However , The Wolverinecould have been Lee ’s luck to better upon his previous superhero workand further develop the ruined merchandise . The Wolverineis a one - off risky venture , demanding that the standalone narration be thematically authoritative on its own , but it is too pendant upon clichés .
The Wolverine : This film follows Logan , depict by Hugh Jackman , as he undertakes a transformative journeying in Japan . confront by his most formidable resister , Wolverine is labour to his physical , emotional , and mortal limits while navigating challenges that alter his life and identity forever .

5The Purge (2013)
Should Have Been Directed By Bong Joon-ho
The Purgefavors action and gore over material societal discussion ; each of the sequels touches upon the riches interruption in some way , but none amply commit to it . The first picture stays with the perspective of an upper - year family all the way through , not spending too much metre on the other character . There is n’t much reflection on the fact that the unfortunate chain of effect that befell this category is the realism for much of the universe every year . However , The Purgeis a concept with the potential to be a deep horror movieif it finely - tuned its execution .
Bong Joon - ho is a master at create semi - naturalistic scenarios that viscerally depict class watershed with undertones of horror . The Oscar - winning director’sParasite , likeThe Purge , shows characters who are not action Heron embroil in a conflict that begins as opportunism but turns fucking . On the other deal , his gamy dystopia thrillerSnowpiercerillustrates how a system tells itself it is pendant upon the wealth disruption . I do not doubt that Bong could have added dialog or eccentric toThe Purgethat would have apply the movie a hard design , rather than just being the starting of a unearthly horror enfranchisement .
The film that began the dealership of the same name , The Purge is a dystopian repulsion - thriller that take place over the span of one harrowing Nox . In an alternate futurity , a law of nature has been passed to make all crimes legal for one nighttime per year . The Purge comply a flush mob ( Ethan Hawke , Lena Headey , Adelaide Kane ) when they are beset by a gang of outlaw with violent intentions . With no police force to keep them safe , the Sandin family must fight to protect themselves from the criminal chemical element that threatens their lives .

4Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker (2019)
Should Have Been Directed By Rian Johnson
Ineffective arcs for the bequest characters and repetitive plot of land are among the problem with the sequel trilogy . However , the overall flavour of the franchise endures and even thrives with these thing . The biggest issue that ca n’t be ignored is the conflicting visions of dissimilar director . What aggravates me is that eachcreator who got a turn withStar Warswas more committed to their specific estimate for the story than fork up a satisfying continuationof the darling franchise to the rooter . Ultimately , J.J. Abrams should have directed all three movies , or Rian Johnson should have channelise the last installing .
I personally am an counsellor forStar war : The Last Jedi , so I would vote for the director who would complete the story this pic sets up to happen . However , Star state of war : The Rise of Skywalkercould have also been picked up by another experienced action managing director who focus on cede a serviceable conclusionwithout throwing in a crew of crazy plot twists . wage hike of Skywalkerhas some good character moments and interesting legal action , while its bragging weakness are Rey ’s line of descent retcon , the Palpatine twist , and underusing Finn ’s quality . Without these thing , it might have been a fun , action - pack conclusion .
Star Wars : The Rise of Skywalker concludes the Skywalker saga with Rey , Finn , and Poe Dameron leading the Resistance against the First Order . As the final battle unfold , they draw upon the Wisdom of Solomon and strength of previous generation to face their adversary . Released in 2019 , the film end the sequel trilogy .
While some movie franchises come to a stark coming , others should have stop sooner but opt to bear on , tarnishing their legacy forever .
3Gunpowder Milkshake (2021)
Should Have Been Directed By Emerald Fennell
Gunpowder Milkshakehad so much potential — the cast is fantastic , the aesthetic are interesting , and the action is absolutely barbarian . However , the movie fails to fully explore what it sets up to be the primary themes , has some glaring plot of land maw , and underuses the support fiber . The last is in particular frustrative when the trio of"librarians"are played by Angela Bassett , Michelle Yeoh , and Carla Gugino . This movie wants to be a well - crafted feminist action adventure , and while some of the smaller tale element build towards this , the most significant example of talks fall short .
Emerald Fennell in fussy has also worked with some more colourful esthetics in juxtaposition with grim storylines .
Gunpowder Milkshakewould have do good from a theatre director with more experience blending activity with unfathomed radical . Emerald Fennell in particular has also worked with some more colored aesthetics in collocation with grim storylines . The recent accession ofSaltburnto her repertoire only show that she construct the best of every scene , fitting them together in the eccentric puzzle of an overall narrative . Fennell ’s career paint a picture that she has a better apprehension of whatGunpowder Milkshakewas supposed to be about , while the people who did end up working on it had minimal experience and produced a generic action moving picture .

2Don’t Worry Darling (2022)
Should Have Been Directed By Sofia Coppola Or Greta Gerwig
Do n’t Worry Darlingis Olivia Wilde ’s project and I do n’t want to subvert that — I think that a lot of the movie ’s sharpness is due to her . However , a more experienced carbon monoxide - director might have helped the movie nonplus the landing . The hand needed a niggling more finessing before it found a way for its major root word to add up through . The two giving manager who derive to heed , having work on antic movies relate the good and bad of woman , are Sofia Coppola and Greta Gerwig . Just some more experience with these subgenres would have translate Wilde ’s foundational ideas .
Do n’t Worry Darlingwith more ofBarbie ’s advanced writing orThe Virgin Suicides’disturbing segments would have been much more powerful . The movie as it is has splendid horror constituent , but the scenario is so unrealistic that there is no way to connect it to realness . However , I still consider thatDon’t Worry Darlingcould have been an even more harrowing motion picture with some pocket-sized playscript adjustments , maybe connecting it to real technological promotion . avowedly , Wilde did very well with her feature - length directorial first appearance ofBooksmartand had reason to be confident in her ability to make this movie .
In Do n’t interest Darling , a young matrimonial couple are favourable enough to live in Victory , an data-based town created to put up the workers and families of the top - occult Victory Project . Life is thoroughgoing , with every resident ’s needs met by the company . All they require in return is an unquestioning commitment to the Victory cause .

Many movies had the potential to be amazing but fell poor of their target . remake of these moving picture would allow a chance to regain any lost potential .
1The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)
Should Have Been Directed By Guillermo del Toro
Along with a lot of other people , I’ve enounce many times before thatThe Hobbitshould have been directed by Guillermo del Toro and made into two movie , as was the original plan . The Hobbitas it was adjust was supposed to be anotherLord of the Ringstrilogy , trying to fit the previous picture in damage of spectacle and narrative scale . However , The Hobbitis a relatively short tale that is n’t meant to support this data format , leading to the finished intersection being very bloated . to boot , it is just a generic medievalist phantasy action franchise sport nothing original .
That is to say , The Hobbit : An Unexpected Journeyis really miss character . Del Toro ’s aptitude for horror and subversive fairy tales would have process the narrative well , granting it an aesthetic that complimentedLord of the Ringsbut still madeThe Hobbitfresh . Sequences such as the nanus arriving at Bag End and Bilbo ’s guess game with Gollum have a fable - like quality that would have been lift by del Toro ’s approach to storytelling . In this case , I know I am not alone in mean this movie would have been saved by a director change .
