Bryan Singer has had official talks about possibly doing another X-Men

Re: Bryan Singer has had official talks about possibly doing another X

^ especially if you picture Brett Ratner as the poster.

(Although, f*ck it, I enjoyed X3 too ...)


I really did too...but then, I am not one was fully immersed in the X-Men comics...but I still can tell it was MUCH better than those wretched Fantastic Four films and Ghost Rider...and Hulk.

Well, yeah, but I also maintain that the unreleased 1993 FF film was better than the two that actually got released, so that's not saying much for X3.

Ah yes...the infamous Roger Corman version. I used to see clips from this at conventions back in the day...
 
Re: Bryan Singer has had official talks about possibly doing another X

Just thought I'd step in and say that Chris Evans and Chiklis pretty much made the FF movies watchable for me, oh, and Doug Jone's and Lawrence Fishburne's performance as the Surfer.

(I don't even bother remembering the first movie).

I don't, however, think that the FF movies were Hulk-Daredevil-Electra-Ghost Rider bad.

X3, OTOH & IMHO, was Hulk-Daredevil-Electra-Ghost Rider bad.

IMHO, Daredevil was awesome. It's a perfect portrayal of the crippling emotional toll of being a superhero and has style up the ying yang. I'd rank it far above Fantastic Four & X-Men: The Last Stand. In fact, I'm tempted to rank it above Bryan Singer's X-Men movies. I'd place Daredevil in that top tier of comic book movies along side the Tim Burton & Chris Nolan Batman movies, Superman, Superman Returns, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, & V for Vendetta.

As for those others in your dreck tier: Elektra was crap. I only find it mildly watchable because of its tenuous connection to Daredevil & Jennifer Garner's costume. Ghost Rider was crap, only mildly watchable because of Nicolas Cage's quirky performance. He may not be accurate to the comic but he's interesting. I respect Hulk for what it was attempting but it's too damn artsy for its own good. Still, Ang Lee crafted a very soulful movie, which is more than I can say for The Incredible Hulk. (You'd get a perfect Hulk movie if you could combine the soulfulness of Hulk (2003) with the pacing & action sensibilities of The Incredible Hulk.)

All three of those movies I would rank below X-Men: The Last Stand but above Fantastic Four.
