7. Jonathan Liebesman Directing
With so much ire being directed towards Michael Bay, it's easy to forget that he isn't even directing the damn thing; that prestigious honour goes to South African filmmaker Johnathan Liebesman, whose CV to date includes masterpieces of cinema such as Darkness Falls, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, The Killing Room, Battle: Los Angeles and Wrath of the Titans. Given how not a single one of these films has been even remotely good, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's pretty likely that Ninja Turtles won't be very good either (but it'll make a bunch of that precious money, yes). What do his films have in common? Even putting aside the inane scripts - which admittedly aren't always his fault - the focus on visual effects often hampers action scenes that should be stunning, and simply the guy just doesn't have a very good grasp on how to get viewers' blood pumping.
