7 Movies So Bad That Even Their Directors Couldn't Stand Them

It's not always the filmmaker's fault, read on to see the name of some movies which everybody hated including the director himself.

Not every project ends up becoming what the director envisioned it to become. In some cases, the director felt that the project was out of his control because of the studios who came and made edits that were not approved by the director. So, you can imagine how some projects reach the theaters with not meeting the expectations of the directors. Here's a list of movies that failed to satisfy the director and the audiences alike.

Thor: The Dark World- Alan Taylor

The movie was unlike any movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This movie was a mess. The man who was hired to direct this movie had worked on Game of Thrones before this. He said in an interview that he wanted this movie to have a "childlike wonder" and it ended up a pretty dark and serious movie.

 Accidental Love- David O. Russell

The movie was originally shot in 2008 and was titled Nailed at that time. Finally, more than 6 years later in 2015, the movie got to see the light of day. Russell said, "I, unfortunately, am no longer involved in the project and cannot call it 'my' film." 

 Dune (1984)- David Lynch

The rough cut of the movie spanned more than 4 hours. However, the studios wanted that to be shortened with which the filmmaker was not happy at all. He later said that he felt "sold out" at the time. 

 Highball- Noah Baumbach

The man hated his movie so much that he took his name off it crediting it to a pseudonym Ernie Fusco. There was no specific reason to not like it, he just didn't feel right.

 Batman & Robin- Joel Schumacher

Director Joel Schumacher didn't make the movie the way everyone wanted it with the dark and gothic look. Fans hated the movie very much and there was no Batman movie until Nolan finally decided to reboot the franchise with his critically acclaimed trilogy.
