The best filmmakers will always want to experiment with something new, but there are many examples of these deviations resulting in disaster movies.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Some directors who switched styles for a new movie managed to deliver surprisingly great films, but for others, moving away from their signature cinematic language did not quite work. Very few directors have been able to have versatile careers, with most finding success in a specific category and sticking with it.

10 Guy Ritchie - King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword Guy Ritchie's movie career has seen great British gangster films. It's the genre he's mastered, and there's truly no one who does it better. Films like Snatch and The Gentlemen are packed with witty, fast-paced dialogue and great movie star performances. Guy Ritchie has had his duds though, with King Arthur: Legend of the Sword being a chief example. The film had a number of problems and was both a critical and commercial failure.

8 Zack Snyder - Legends Of The Guardians Zack Snyder has become one of the most popular film directors in recent years, especially after his work in the first years of the DC Extended Universe. The director is known for his grim-dark style, with films like 300, Watchmen, and Army of the Dead. This made the 2010 animated film, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole a strange departure.

6 Francis Ford Coppola - Jack With The Godfather films and Apocalypse Now, Francis Ford Coppola had already done enough early in his career to be known as one of the greatest ever. Since then, he's been regarded as hit or miss. But Coppola has had great works following the '70s, with Rumble Fish being a prime example. The comedy film, Jack, on the other hand, was less well received.
