David Ayer reflected on how the aftermath of his film affected his approach in directing Netflix's Bright (2017) "It was shit. Yeah, it was shit reviews. I got my throat cut," Ayer said of the film. Critics called the work "unexciting," "predictable," "mind-boggling stupid," and a film "beholden to the corporate vision of other recent DC adaptations." "It was a super polarizing movie. Incredibly polarizing," Ayer added. The director went on to explain how the response made him "gun shy" when going to work on Bright (2017). "It's like going to the boxing ring and getting knocked out is how it felt. And I had to go into the ring again. And directing is a confidence game, because you're selling everyone on something that only exists in your head," he said. "The actors have to feel that confidence to trust that you know what you're doing, and so does your crew. As a director, you set the tone. Really, it's coming off that movie, I understood the pitfalls, I understood the dangers, I knew where the alligators hide, you know? And so I made damn sure I didn't repeat any mistakes." However, history is repeating itself as Bright (2017) was described as a "plenty embarrassing" "genre disaster" by critics as the film debuted on Netflix this week.
