For some reason people always leave out The Frighteners when they mention Peter Jackson. (Great movie that didn't do so well in the box office because the spent all the money on the movie rather than advertising)

- Tim Burton makes great movies and some less than great ones.
- David Fincher makes weird, cool movies that somehow gain mainstreme popularity.
- Brad Bird hasn't made a whole lot yet but so far has only made gold.
- M. Night Shyamalan is a great auteur, who needs to make some non-twist-ending movies so he doesn't become a one trick poney.

I don't really have a hate list because I like to think that even a director with some really bad films under his belt can make something good.

Like hopefully Michael Bay will do a decent job with the live action Transformers film, even though his films so far have been movies I've avoided like the plague (Bad Boys, The Rock, Armagedon, Pearl Harbor, Bad Boys II: The Inexplicable Sequel, and The Island)

Like Spielberg, Lucas, Jackson, Singer, Raimi

Don't much like Scorsese, Tarantino, or Tim Burton. (Well, okay, most of his work was tolerable, but he did ruin Planet of the Apes.)

Bad Boys was funny, The Rock is good, Armagedon was.. good, the part where japanese started attacking in pearl harbor was cool the rest of the movie was again that hero bullshit, Bad Boys II was very funny, The Island was good.
so, you havent watched any of his movies and you think hes a bad director?

to be honest I've only seen Armagedon and while I don't think it was badly made, it just wasn't my kind of movie.
I don't exactly have a strong feeling about him as a director one way or another. But typically I avoid summer OMG IT BLEWD UP! movies.

But the point is, you cant say a movie suck if you havent seen it.
I mean ive done that mistake, but not anymore i dont.

what i can say is that, i -belive- that Uwe bolls newest and all the rest of hes movies are bad, because of hes skills on directing hollywood movies.

What you have to remember is that the director is only one small piece of the movie puzzle, and a lot of the things people tear up directors for are actually the fault of the screen writers or the editors or the actors or the producers interfering.

what you should know is that its Uwe Boll that made Alone In The Dark suck. It was him who said in an interview "yes well all my movies are based on to an island so i cant make this movie in an island", and "no no no, you cant have only three people fighting in the movie, if you do that people will not like it" etc.

I'm pretty sure Tara Reid and Christian Slater had a lot to do with it sucking as well.

And Garble is correct, Michael Bay makes nothing of substance. The commercials for the Island couldn't even manage to have decent pull quotes. The one they used most was "A movie like on Michael Bay can make!" (read: crap)
