X-Men: Days of Future Past

[tomandshell]

At least Singer has some history with the franchise. They didn't hire a Ratner.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

He did X2 which is among the best two X-Films yet, so thats a Pro in my book

 

[RIDDICK]

Still think that "First Class" is the best one so far.

I'm not against Singer but just tired of his heavy (on atmosphere and perception) movies.

 

[hunnipot85]

Personally I find this a bad move. Vaughan is a much more interesting director than Singer,

ditto... less excited about this flick now.

 

[DinoDB1975]

Bad move, but one that had to be made since Vaughn dropped out.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Vaughn isn't an option, other than Singer who should take the position?

J.J. Abrams Brad Bird
Either would be a 1,000% better choice than Singer. Blah. I'll likely see the movie of course, but was really hoping for a fresh reboot.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Brad Bird would be great, but JJ Abrams? I'd to see whats happening not be blinded

I guess everyone's costume is going to be in black leather now.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Not likely, back when those were used people were'nt prepared for flashy outifts, now people are so they'll be more colourful

I think Singer will do just fine.

It's gotta be handled with a fine eye. As acceptable as the outfits were in X:FC, you can just as easily ruin a film by going full cap and trying to get closer to the source material.

Any of you read modern stories?

Why on earth would anyone wanna do that?

They cater to the ADD generation?

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Why on earth would anyone wanna do that?

Because they're good

 

[thenammagazine]

^^^ case in point!

I agree, he wrote the draft for X-Men FC anyways right? So its kind of his baby and his conception, I don't see him steering it wrong.

 

[Dr.Mirakle32]

Singer co-wrote and produced XMFC, so he deserves as much credit as Vaughn, IMO. And while I loved FC for its period setting, the original is still one of my favorite Marvel films for summing up what X-Men were about in a single film. Good story, great casting, and without any of the baggage that comes with 40 years of comic history.

X2 is good, but overrated. While it boasts bigger action sequences, and has some awesome moments, the fact that the bulk of the film takes place in an underground bunker bogs down the pacing for me.

Blade1/FF1/DD > X1/X2

 

[CelticPredator]

**** that.
I'll give you Blade. But good christ. FF and DD sucked ass beyond ass.
