Ight here we go:
For those how enjoyed the movie, cool. It had everything that American film is made of, big explosions, over done special effects, random fighting scenes, death, and dense subtly. Singer I fault you for this, leaving XMen to do Soops, I hope the movie sucks! lol
Dig it:
Apparently, holloywood decided to turn the Xmen into a cash cow, hence people saying you need the "game" to understand the film. F___THAT! I've read marvel comics for twenty years(started at 5yrs old), I don't need a game to understand anything! In addition, the over used powers without cause(in the plot), guest appearance by a curiously familiar giant robot, and other examples of "Lets throw this in the movie to make some money" For the past four years, the (e)X-faithful hypothesized, meditated, and message board posted, the fate of the third installment of X-Men; only to watch in pain as holloywood destroyed a once great series.
First, Singer left. Problem: Singer is a long time comic book fan that dreamed of directing an X Men film, thus he understood the universe, what long time reader expected of him and the movie, and how to introduce over thirty years of story to a new generation of fans.
Singer as a fan, understood this: There is over thirty years of evolved power, death and resurrections, over a hundred years of back story, team creations and changes, etc. How do I condense this into roughly a two hour movie? The possibility of more GOOD movies layed in the future.
Two: The second film opened up the flood gates(no pun intended) of the X-Universe. I remember thinking to myself, Ok Singer, you have a potential disaster on your hands, can't wait to see how you're going to weather this storm. The movie series had the potential to go into numerous story arcs. However it also raised the bar of expectation. Now we're left with a bunch of holes, Storm/Calisto, Wolverine/Sabertooth, Phoenix saga, Cain Marko/Xavier,
Spoiler:
"Where's Scott?", What happens when the "Cured" discover their powers will eventually return?
Three: The mutant powers. You can't just throw mutants into the story line because some crazed fans want to see it on screen. Each power served a purpose in the X universe and is important to his/her individual story line. Going back to understanding the Xuniverse and subtly, you can't just give Rogue all of her powers because there is a story behind it. I will say at first, I thought in X3 that was the actual Phoenix entity and not Jean Grey... then I remember how she randomly exhibited the Phoenix powers in the second film. And for those that don't know...
Spoiler:
Leech's powers are TEMPORARY!
Finally: We see why Singer Marsden and who knows who else left or will possibly leave. Singer knew how to make this into a good possibly Great series, but as usual, holloywood decided they knew what is best for the viewers. So for the true fans, it seems we can kiss this series goodbye. Fox should have waited for Singer, given him say over how the movie will play out or whatever he asked. This film seemed rushed, at the last minute because Singer dropped, "We need someone to finish so we can get this out ASAP!"
I am curious how the writers and director are going to clean this up, if they decide to.
