Who’s the most hit-or-miss director, excluding Ridley Scott?
Ridley Scott has gotten a bad rap over the years for being inconsistent with his filmography, which I wholeheartedly agree with. The man has made some of my favorite movies like Gladiator (2000), Blade Runner (1982), Black Hawk Down (2001), Prometheus (2011), and many more. But he’s also made some mediocre films like G.I. Jane (1997), Hannibal (2001), Napoleon (2023), and the godawful sequel Gladiator II (2024).
So, besides him, what other director’s filmography do you think is just as inconsistent as Ridley Scott’s?
My pick is Antoine Fuqua. He’s made some really good movies like The Equalizer trilogy (2014-2023), Training Day (2001), Southpaw (2015), and Shooter (2007), but he’s made a fair amount of mediocre movies as well like Infinite (2021), Emancipation (2022), King Arthur (2004), and Brooklyn’s Finest (2009).
I don’t think any of these mediocre films I’ve listed are bad, but I do think they’re either underwhelming or just not very interesting.
Which director would be your choice?
