Ah, X-4...where to start?
first off, I love X-men...LOVE. I have so many comic books, so many taped episodes, I still dream about one day discovering a mutant power and joining the X-men.
But I digress
The X-men series is the best and WORST thing to be made into a movie...let me explain why...First the good.
- The X-men have not only been a good role model for kids and teens alike, but have preoccupied the minds of our youth with dreams of being special. many people love to see their childhood come to live on the silver screen
-Super powered mutants make for wonderful special effects
- our children grow to know and love the icons we grew up with
that's all I can think of right now...now, the Bad
-X-men is not just ONE story, there are tons of alternate universes where crazy effed up sheet happens that's hard to follow, much less make a movie out of it.
- It's damn near impossible to fit all that happens in the X-men universe into a 2 hour film. Harry potter can't do it...X-men sure as hell cant..and I'm a die hard fan, but I'm not a fan of a movie series going over a trilogy. Star Wars is the only exception to this.
everyone has their own vision of the X-men, own Ideas on how the stories should go, there are going to be people who love the movies, and people who hate them, But if X-men does make a 4th, even a 5th I would prefer it be done by the same director, at least then, there wouldn't be conflicting ideas..this director needs to know what the hell is going on..and must know of a way to transfer all that happens, without screwing things up for the rest of us
just my 2 cents though
