Thinks a movie

I think it was directed greatly and anyone who honestly thinks a movie cliche, either is too harsh, or doesn't know goes into a movie to begin with.

I'd like to know whether "to be" has been omitted before "cliche" and whether I can always omit "to be" in the structure "A verb + an object + to be + a noun."

Thank you in advance for your help.

I'd like to know whether "to be" has been omitted before "cliche" I t's standard English as written, but you could also write eg. . anyone who thinks a movie to be cliche .
