ELI5:Why are there so many "bad" movies? Don't the people making them see the problems the audience does?

I'm not talking about Transformers which consciously makes sacrifices in "quality" for boobs and explosions and box-office blockbusting.

I'm talking about places where a script makes *bad* choices for seemingly no reason. Take, for example, the movie *Noah*. It is not exactly a bad movie by most measures. It had beautiful shots and amazing CGI, the cast was great and concept had potential... But the movie was mediocre. People seemed to dislike the fact that it mostly became an Action Hero movie about Noah fighting bad guys instead of living up to what was promised in the trailers.

So here's my question. Why did the writers not write a better movie? Layman audiences can clearly spot the obvious problem and disliked the movie because of it. Why can't the experienced professional writers see and fix it?

It takes a risk to make a good movie, because the more of a chance a movie has to be great, the more of a chance it has to be awful.

Setting out to make a mediocre movie is fairly risk-free. You follow a formula, and you know a certain amount of teenagers are going to watch it for the explosions.
