How I would improve bad movies

I was watching a review for Quest for Camelot and how there was promise of a good movie that was completely ruined by poor choices during production. I’ve decided to make some changes that I think would improve the movie.

The basic plot point of Excalibur still occurs but this time Ruber has always been an evil knight and has his own fellow knights that fight with him. Bladebeak is present from the start and is a comic relief creature of unknown origins that obeys Ruber’s commands out of fear and is abused constantly. Kayley is less whiny and more level headed in this version of the movie. Garrett is changed to have been born blind but he has the power to see auras in the form of light and this is how he survives in the woods by himself. Devon and Cornwall have the largest change in the movie. They are now two separate dragons with different voice actors. Devon is now voiced by Tim Curry and is a pacifist and highly intellectual. Cornwall is voiced by Dom Deluise and is a cowardly dragon who is constantly anxious about everything. They are outcasts from dragon society as they refuse to fight any knights which is a very huge deal in a dragon’s life in their culture. Survive a fight with a knight and you are considered to be a real dragon. Devon refuses because he believes that fighting is barbaric and he is above it and Cornwall is terrified of the idea of fighting a guy clad in metal wielding a sword. Kayley pleads with them to help her retrieve Excalibur and they refuse at first but then Kayley discovers a loophole in the dragon tradition of fighting knights and says that there is no rule saying that the knights have to be good as the rule says that the dragon must fight a knight but not the kind of knight. By fighting Ruber and his evil knights, the dragons would be helping with saving the day and be able to be accepted by the othpers as being real dragons. Devon and Cornwall recognize this is a very good point and decl that they will help Kayley and Garrett. Bladebeak eventually has enough of being abused that he switches sides and is the one that leaves the door open so that the heroes can break into the castle. I can’t think of anything else I’d change right now.
 
There are a lot of bad movies out there that I would not change for anything in the world, though.

Check out Plan 9 From Outer Space if you want to know what I mean.
 
I like 'view from the top' Gwyneth paltrow and when I ass younger I actually liked 'where the heart is' Natalie Portman
Austin powers and the spy who snagged me
Some movies that some people consider bad are 'cult' favorites like Grease 2 and A things like 90s movies like dude where's my car.
A lot of movies in the 90s that peoples consider bad are very funny and probably cult favorites
 
Or you could just add the Dynamic Duo! They are like bacon.

One bad movie I would improve is The Godfather Part III. I would replace Sofia Coppola with another actress.
 
While I'm probably cheating as this one hasn't come out yet, the trailer is one of those that basically gives the whole movie away anyway.
The film is called Something In The Water and is another 'sharksploitation' film that is described as "Jaws meets Bridesmaids"

Here's the trailer for those who are interested.
Warning: Contains blood and bad language:

While I could make comments on how the trailer is making these characters look like a bunch of annoying idiots (since they may not have told anyone where they were going and one of their group doesn't admit until after they get into trouble at sea that she can't swim), the thing that's bugging me most - weirdly enough - is the title and premise.

With the title "Something" In The Water, why did the filmmakers just lazily use another Great White Shark (something a lot of this type of movie does) instead of having something different that neither the characters nor the audience discover the truth about until later?
The "something" in this case could be a type of mermaid or sea fae, a folklore/mythological creature (like maybe a type of Ocean Dragon), an aquatic alien, a mutation/escaped genetic experiment, a prehistoric creature long thought extinct or something else entirely - all of which would offer some story variations and allow for more creativity than just copying Spielberg's work again.
 
If a film, series, novel, ect. has a main character or a character I like (whether a major character or not) die, I have a tendency to imagine an alternative storyline where they don't. I will even reimagine a story to spare a character that is an animal like on Ol Yellow , Where The Red Fern Grows , or even the spider in Charlotte's Web. Also, if a character starts out being a nice person but becomes the story villain, I imagine them making better choices and staying a nice person possibly even using any special skills (if applicable) to rescue people and be heroic instead. Watching Gotham was driving me up the wall. I was having to come up with alternative storyline for like 90% of everything that happened.😅 In my daydream version, Alfred let's Selina Kyle stay at the Wayne Manor and she never joins any gangs. Edward Nygma never harms anyone and continues to work with Jim Gordon at the GCPD. Neither Barbara nor Lee become criminals, though I am undecided as to which one ends up marrying Jim. This is just a few examples. A lot of villian origin stories become (in my alternative daydream versions) how (insert character name here) made better choices, didn't do the crazy experiment, chose forgiveness rather than vengeance, ect. and never became (insert villian name here).

Is it weird that I do this ? I'll even watch select scenes that I'm keeping in my imaginary version over and over for weeks or months between daydreaming the parts I'm changing. Other times (though usually less frequent) I'll rewatch the parts I want to change so I can analyze how it could have went different to prevent it from happening.

Hard to go wrong with a good "What if?" scenario.

The keeping characters from dying part seems pretty good to do especially when it is sweet innocent characters) but sometimes I get concerned that trying to reimagine stories such that well known fictional villains don't do the things that make them villains inadvertently makes me look like a bad person because if someone sees me watching YouTube videos from before they became a villain, they may not realize that I am imagining a much different story where the individual stays nice and possibly even rescues a bunch of people instead of becoming a villain and may think I approve of the way the character turns out in the story as is. When the character prior to becoming a villain in the story as is, happens to have interests, skills, symptoms, ect. that overlap with myself, I tend to get a fictional character crush on my reimagined version which I fear makes me look like a bad person. I know that in my version they stay a good kind law abiding character, but most people probably will not realize that you are repulsed by the way they turn out in the story as is and in your reimagined version they don't do those things if they catch you liking pre riddler Ed Nygma because of both liking science, liking riddles, experiencing bullying at work, and being socially awkward or pre joker Arthur Fleck because of both laughing when distressed or uncomfortable, daydreaming way too much, having an abusive dad, being bullied, and socially awkward.

I would improve that story by having him adopted by a loving family rather than by a crime syndicate.😅

I would improve that story by having the story end with the dog ripping out the throats of the guys before they kill him.
 
The poor puppy should have lived. It was just an innocent puppy.🥺🐶
 
I would improve The Room by recasting everybody but the lead male with Muppets.
