I would but I don’t have the inside knowledge. For all I know the director made exactly what they intended and that was apparently terrible. Maybe they cut scenes, maybe they added unnecessary scenes, maybe there was push from the studio.
Ultimately a film is what the director creates. If the writing wasn’t good it’s up to them to figure something out how to improve it. If the producers try and force changes it’s up to the director to either make them fit or convince them otherwise.
Obviously you pick your battles and a film is a collaborative project, but the director is the captain, they guide the ship, they guide the film.

I will say, however, that even the best directors can get fucked by bad editing. I mean, how many versions of Blade Runner are there (and how many of them are actually good)?
that sounds like you need to blame the writers and producers more than the director to me
