It wasn't necessarily 'bad', but I think they could have done better with Ender's Game.

As soon as I heard about the movie I knew they were gonna milk the laser fight scenes for far more than they were worth.

I know this is a total pipe dream that never would've happened, but I wish they either just focused on Bean or just made a philosophical epic out of Speaker for the Dead/Xenocide instead.

Ender's Shadow would actually be an excellent way for them to soft reboot the series.

I think it would have been better as a TV series. They glossed over the battle school battles too quickly. And in making it a series, they could have done Ender's Shadow at the same time.
