Worst Director Ever?

Whilst I could probably write a long list of directors that the world could do without I think that it's only fair to point out that a lot of blame lies in the hands of the producers. The role of the director mainly is to get the best angle to point the camera then hope and pray that the actors don't screw up. It's the producers who take all the raw material and ultimately determine the fate of the movie.
This is why Joel Schumacher holds a special place of hatred in my shriveled up little black heart.
Don't forget Michael Bay made THE ROCK with Jerry Bruckheimer as producer, and it was awesome.

End of. Only Uwe Bolle could be worse, but I haven't seen ANY of his movies. Although he did ake me laugh once when he challenged his critics to wreastling matches. Anybody watch those?dbrose said:
I respectfully disagree... I prefer the movies where he's not kicking the shit out of people. I thought he was awesome in Lock Stock and Two Smocking Barrels and Snatch... I thought he was God awful in Transporter... trying to do an American accent... just didn't work Jason. However I do like his work on Crank because at least that movie knew what it was and didn't try to be pretentious.Baby Tea said:
OT: Uwe Boll... do I need a reason any more?... does any one on this planet need a reason or need to submit an explanation as to why.
Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer... these two are far worse then Boll... simply for making Epic movie... I haven't watched any of their movies after that but their just awful, awful people with very little imagination. How they worked their way through film school I'll never know... their movies should be shown to every film school student as a "What not to do when creating a film".

I'm going to say modern-day George Lucas.
Watching Uwe Boll or Michael bay is torture, but Lucas's films are a plague. They're so bad that they can ruin good movies.

The director/ producer team of Golan Globus produced some awful movies in the late 80 and early 90's. Even though their earlier work did well, some won academy awards, they produced/made such crap as Masters of the Universe, Cyborg, Steel Knight, the marginally good, mostly bad, American Ninja series, Captain America, and Superman IV. One of their features, Alien from La, has the honor of getting the MST3K treatment.
Granted the Death Wish series, one of the things they produced, was quite watchable, most of the stuff they made was crap.

I agree with the first guy. Napoleon Dynamite was the most god-awful movie I've seen (except for M. Night's The Village).p3t3r said:
Worst director should go to M. Night or Shumauker (sp) [the guy who fucked up Batman and Superhero Movies for a while]. I can actually stand Mikey Bay, but only because I look past his retardation and just watch the giant robots pummel each other. ^_^

Michael Bay is the worst. But Uwe Boll and M. Night. Shamalyanamamyamanayan are god-awful directors.
And on the subject of movie making, Christian Bale and I are done professionally.
George Lucas. Uwe Boll and Michael Bay may have made bad movies (from what I';ve heard, I've never seen any), but they didn't ruin 2 perfectly good franchises. And the only reason I can see for that second trilogy is that George Lucas hates us.
Edit: Also, all those people saying that Michael Bay is a bad directer because he only cares about special effects: do you hate 300 for the same reason?

George Lucas took starwars and shoved it up his ass, crapped it out, added some wooden acting, political commentary, and then covered it with shiny CGI glitter gloss
No, that's the writers fault. I hated Le Pacte des Loups (Brotherhood of the Wolf).G-Virus said:
