The problem with X-Men films
- Thread starter Remy Danton
- Start date
I am cool with Vaughn leaving since it resulted in Kingsman: Secret Service but I agree with you on wondering why they went running back to Singer.I had so much optimism after First Class.
Why would they go back on everything that Vaughn built?
When Vaughn dropped out of DOFP I was hoping that David Twohy or Bong Joon ho would get a shot at the director's chair. I think those two guys would bring something fresh to the franchise and freshness is whats needed more than anything else.

The problem with XMen ?
There's to many fukking movies

The real problem is that Hugh Jackman is good as Wolverine, so they didn't want to reboot because he's kind of tied to the older X-Men movies. In my opinion, of course.

I'm a bit mixed... The video makes a lot of good points but I can see why they went with black leather in the first two movies. Back then nobody was really sure that a comic book movie could be a legit building crusher, especially after a disaster like Batman and Robin. So they patterned the look of the X-men movies after more successful flicks like Blade and the Matrix.
However, there's no real excuse for them to not have semi-accurate costumes and storylines in the movies today since other movies have proven that they can work.
The biggest problem IMO is that everyone who isn't Logan and/or played by somebody is treated more or less like an afterthought in the films. They lack confidence in the source material and are trying too hard to market the movies based on the presence of famous actors.
These Hollywood producers don't want to hear this though. For no reason they wan to make their movies 'gritty' and 'realistic' just because some other cat did it, with no thought towards whether or not it's true to the source or works for the characters and stories.
If you want to make a movie based on something, that's cool, just base it on the actual thing and and on some guy's 'artistic vision' of it

I watched first class and DOFP. Honestly i didn't like em either. They were enjoyable as films, especially enjoyable period pieces, but the continuity is too unrecognizable to be appreciated as x-flicks
singers first 2 flicks have that same problem but are a little better
The problem is directors translate characters and that's it. They forget or fail to realize that the locations and objects in the continuity are characters in their own right, and have their own distinct tones/moods that need to be nailed down.
A couple MCU entries have that problem on a nitpick level. With DC, shyt, they aren't even getting the characters right lets start w/ that lol
Stop making comic book movies for people that don't like comic books. These are 80 year old characters with definite composite characterizations and visual iconography. When the biggest fans of your superman movie are people who don't like superman, you have a fukkin problem

Top 75 All-Time
The reason these movies suck is because they arent really x-men movies.
These first class films have been primarily focusing on magneto and mystique. thats a brotherhood of mutants movie not x-men.
wolverine has a cameo appearance and storm gets no dialog but Mystque is in every fukking movie carrying the plot.
They may as well make an x-men movie about Toad
I understand why tho,
J-law is a big box office draw and so is Fassbender.
But i can easily predict which ones will be good and which will suck based how popular that star characters solo comics are.
Gambit solo movie = FLOP just like his solo comics( i doubt anybody in here ever read those). But hey Channing Tatum is in it.
DC is doing it too. Does Harley Quinn even have a solo comic? that movie is also gonna suck. but hey margot robbie is popular right now so.
FLOP
Deadpool = Fan Favorite from the comics and yet the studios were caught off guard by its success
?
Wolverine only gets the shine he does because of Hugh Jackman. If they had casted him as Colossus we would've had a bunch of attempts at a colossus film trilogy
