10 Directors Defend Their Most Disappointing Movies Ever
Director David Ayer recently reflected on Suicide Squad. Though a commercial hit, the superhero flick got panned in part for hyping up Jared Leto's Joker, but delivering precious little of him. "I love the movie and believe in it," he wrote in a letter posted to Twitter. "Wish I had a time machine. I'd make Joker the main villain and engineer a more grounded story.", Film's a divisive medium, and a movie can take a thousand different wrong turns.

Here, we've assembled defenses from directors and one producer on ten of their most infamously disappointing moviesfrom humble regrets to the bold, "no, you're just watching it wrong."
