What an utter load of boll ox you speak. Obviously you are totally ignorant to what actually goes into directing a movie. Of course not all movies that Jon directs are great but he makes more good ones than bad. You really need to keep quiet rather than prove what a tool you are.

Given the (even more) generic nature of most movies like the ones Favreau has generally given some semblance of style and fun to, I'd guess the OP just has crappy taste. I mean, does he prefer Brett Ratner? Probably.

Agreed, but Favreau wrote (not directed) Swingers. Love the guy anyway haha

Made, Swingers, Elf and Zathura are all well directed!
Made and Swingers are personal classics in which I discovered Jon Favreau and Vince Vaugh. They have sealed places in a collection.

Zarutha and Elf was pretty entertaining so I don't know what you're talking about.

I would not have given movies like Iron Man and Elf to just anybody. Michael Bay would have turned the former into complete beep and, without a director, there's never anything stopping Will Ferrell from chewing the scenery and turning that movie into the Santa Clause Part 17: Yeah We're Still Trying to Take Your Money.

and unfortunately while you're here on imdb posting about his horrible directing skills, or lack there of he's "inability" to direct a movie is making him the big bucks, but such is life.
