Will Bryan Singer Do A Good X-Men Movie?

I do have to say, I love the "really?!" face Superman puts on after that.

Not to mention the "Oh crap" look on the face of the guy who tried to shoot him in the eye

And it was yet ANOTHER real-estate scheme from Lex

Is the creation of a new continent out of material that can kill your only real threat, give you powerful alien technology and drown billions taking away much of their habitable living space simply "ANOTHER real estate-scheme"?

This isn't illegal flipping by any means, not even close.

You make it sound like Lex isn't even dangerous or something. You know, just a few billion lives...

Not at all. It just gets old. If he is such a genius, give us the Luthor we have in the comics. Not some guy with crappy sidekicks that wants to get right by some obscenely insane real estate grab. Let's see a Luthor in the movies that is a genius and can constitute a real threat to Superman all by himself, not by manipulating another super powered being into attacking Superman for him.

His first two were good (esp. X2 (2003)); and he gets some great performances from his cast (the scenes between Sir Patrick and Sir Ian were AWESOME). So I'm all for it.

I still dont think Superman Returns was that bad

It wasn't really that bad in terms of general quality of execution, but specifically as a Superman movie it was disappointing and lacking in a number of ways. What it had was pretty well done, but people went into it wanting/expcting something more/different.

X2 was awesome but X1 is terrible

Please Explain this opinion, as i love them both and see them as being pretty much exactly Equal

Oh, I don't think there's much question that X2 was better than X1. But X1, while it had its flaws and faults, was far from "terrible." If anything, it had the unique quality of being both surprising and underwhelming at the same time. Singer was hampered somewhat by a smaller budget than we'd expect for a movie like that, so the effects and production values weren't as strong as the could have been and, as a result, the action was more scaled down than X2. Plus, there'd never really been a successful costumed superhero group film before, so a lot of what Singer was doing was uncharted territory in way. But given the limitations he was working with, he did a good job. X2 just shows the results of the lessons learned on X1 as well as the bigger budget that came as a reward of the first one's success.

Oh, you mean the genius Lex who spent nearly twenty years worth of comics pretending to be a CEO and then throwing everything away just so he could get Superman again and again and again (and you complain about a few movies getting old)? That one? Yup. "Genius"!!

There's no right or wrong way to do this, all interpretations are flawed in their own different ways.

The version in the comics the most flawed, I'd say (But that's probably because he has the most exposure and can never truly win in an on-going format)

I think you summed up my opinion of Superman Returns better than even I could. Props.

Was just catching up my favourite comic show on youtube and i saw some news on Bryan Singer is now doing the new X-Men movie. Will he be any good?

Well given he's already made one good X-Men movie, one great one, and had a very big role in the most recent, and to my thinking very enjoyable, X-Men movie, the odds are certainly in his favour.
