Dude I just watched X-3 and i don't get he complaints, I can't judge shit off what I want it to be only by what it is.

That huge fight scene at the end was dope shit. Magneto chucking cars and Pyro lighting them on fire, Jean committing indescriminate mass ownage of both humans and mutants.

I just fucks with it. I can't hate it, shit I tried. No point in getting all extra with it, all I want is a good flick and it is *shrugs*.

That's because y'all have no foreknowledge of the "X-Men. The Dark Phoenix Saga had a two year build up in the comics. That included Jeannie accepting the Phoenix Force to save her friends, manipulation on the part of Sebastian Shaw in an attempt to get Jeannie to become the "Black Queen" of the Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club. Jeannie and Scott sharing a mental bonding to consummate their relationship mental level to where they were sharing thoughts and feelings with each mentally. Xavier putting mental blocks in Jeannie's mind to her telepathy and telekinetic powers in check. The X-Men's journey to the Shi'ar Empire in order for the Jeannie to stand trial for the destruction of an ENTIRE "SOLAR SYSTEM!" (Second only in trilleness to Thanos' killing off half the universe to impress Death,) and Jeannie's death at the end of the "Dark Phoenix Saga." Those are just the main plotlines, there are a lot of secondary story lines going on too. Such as Thunderbird's insecurity and need to compete with Wolverine which caused his dumb ass to be killed. As I said earlier, Xavier having to readjust his training methods to be more compatible with adults. Wolverine beginning hard to get along with and danger to his teammates, Nightcrawler becoming secure enough to walk around in his natural form, and tumultuous relationship between Scott and Logan, then Logan finally accepting Scott leadership and respecting him as a man at the end of the Proteus Saga.

These are all themes and story arches if properly handled could have made the X-Men franchise the Star Wars of this generation and had Bryan Singer mentioned in the same vain with Lucus and Cameron, but this nigga didn't even take time out to read the fucking source material. As I began with, when you go back and read the stories that movies were based on, you'll see that what a less than half assed job Singer did on the project, especially X 3. The cold part about is, this is the same dude that gave us Usual Suspects and we know that he has the ability to tell a dope ass story, it's just that concerning the X-Men, he's choosing not to.
 
Singer didn't do X3 though.

Ya'll so quick to hate on the directors for not following the comics that you don't even know who you're hating on.
 
I don't hate these movies for not following the comics. I hate them because I think they're very mediocre movies and I don't settle for that kind of shit like other movie viewers do. I have standards. This is also why I vote with my dollars and just skip them altogether. As a movie goer I have the right to do that.

Like I said in another post I can't blame Ratner even though he is a shitty director in his own right because he was just adhering to the blueprint set up by Bryan Singer. I guess on a superficial level he was better with the action but action without any real weight behind it is just boring as fuck to me. It's the same reason I never liked The Matrix Reloaded.

That movie was always overrated as hell to me. It'd be one I'd nominate in your overrated classics thread. Most of it is boring as hell with some average ass performances outside of Byrne and Spacey though Del Toro had his moments. The best part of that movie is it's awesome ending. Bryan Singer just has a very sterile and muted style of filmmaking that never really resonates with me at all.

I liked First Class but the original 3 X-Men movies pissed me off because of the over emphasis on the Wolverine-Gene-Cyclops love triangle. The way they ended it in the 3rd movie was just too corny and I can't truly believe they thought X-Men fans would go for that bullshit

I liked x3 for your reasons the biggest complaint that most comic fans had was it was a complete clusterfuck.

what I liked about x-3

1.the dangeroom .....finally! it's not x-men if theres no dangeroom (filmmakers take notes)

2.more colossus. cool to see the tag team of pete and logan performing the fastball special on the big screen and twice I might add.

3beast another of my favorite exmen characters. played perfectly by Kelsey grhamar . they brought his intellect and agility to the big screen perfectly

4. the action. x3 had more action than any xmovie.

where they went wrong.

1. story there were too many story lines involved borrowed from comics. they failed with the phoenix thing it was just all wrong. that combined with the mutant cure from the astonishing xmen series.

2 unnecessary deaths. did they had to kill Cyclops. was that necessary. most fanboys don't like cyke. i'm the exception. they never really used him in x2 or x1 he's the team leader they could have used x3 to show why he is a leader. but they killed him to make the movie about wolverine as usual.

3 too many characters. i'm not even touching this one

4juggernaut. bad enough they didn't even acknowledge the fact that he and Xavier are stepbrothers,if they did it would've been a wholenother storyline so I guess the writters didn't have time for that shit. well they could have solved that problem by deading the phoenix or the cure storline* ADUUHHH!!!!* the made him a f@$@%$ brit! okay he was a limey rugby player with armor who just ran through walls and soldiers which also makes him the downside to why I like colossus. their practically archenemies. they had 2 of the xmens biggest powerhouses in the xmen franchise and they didn't even fight.

5 storm style magazines pointed out those bangs she wore knowingly storm doesn't wear bangs. what gets me is what the hell happened to her accent. she was raised in Nairobi Kenya and she sounded like her role in boomerang.

oh well at least she achieved full flight in x3. theres more shit I could point out but I aint got time. oh yeah fuck angel.

 
Comic book fanboys I will say this to you.....

The studio and production teams are trying to make money off these movies.

Given that variable they try to write and present the movies and characters in such a manner that they appeal not only to comic book fanboys but also men, women, and younger children who aren't as big on reading comics and figuring out the origin and background information on these characters.

Its all about the dollar at the end of the day and these movies are presented in a fashion to maximize profits at the box office.

That's the whole idea I been tryna convey in here. The general audience doesn't really give a damn about the subtle nuances of X-Men lore, they just want an entertaining movie with action and a decent story.

This should open the door for an increase in interest for the brand. You can sell the cartoon on DVDs, new toys, video games etc.

I hate to see Hollywood butcher shit but they do so under the understanding that the audience won't really notice how much the story is disconnected from the comic stories.
