Movies that were made by someone who obviously wanted to direct something else

Roland Emmerich said he didn't care much for Godzilla and, honestly, it shows

Throughout his movie they basically portray Godzilla as a regular lizard whose worst destruction almost seems accidental on his part. It feels like he wanted to make something like "Jurassic Park" (or "King Kong" ironically), movies that asked "what if people had to deal with regular ass dinosaurs and they attacked people?" or "what if a monkey was huge and had a crush on a human but otherwise acted like a regular ass monkey yet he attacked people?" but with his version ("what if people had to deal with a giant ass lizard who attacked...cars?") rather than a movie about a giant lizard-esque monster with superpowers.

The Baby Godzilla scene definitely made it clear he wanted to make Jurassic Park 3 rather than Godzilla.
