[Malte Müller]

One of the first things you learn in art schools and academies is that it is impossible to please everyone. Often artist are their own hardest critics and consider older works unperfect and only steps on the way. Prominent example is/was Williams blocking some releases in the past. A common saying is that the current work is always the favorite because it is the current state of the artist.

Of course mainstream movie making is often more business than actual art so it may be that even the director is not satisfied with his work. Alan Smithee does exist for a reason :-). And how many actors said they played in some of their movies because they payed the bills, too.

But to the inital question I probably tend to be too forgiving often 😉
