Usual Suspects bland? X-Men and X2 bland? Oh boy...

yup , matter of taste there.

sure , if one like colors....(even if there is some great colored shirts in Usual suspect )

Visually they were. The Usual Suspects didn't seem to have any one particular style do it - it was just a mesh of sorta real world colors and themes and whatnot. Both X-Men films have been extremely mellow in their visuals; a lot of blues, greys, darker tones.

As Cameron movies..i would not call that bland.

now,you can say that he is a better filmmaker than Singer ( for the moment)

Cameron's never really been bland to me, personally. I dunno, the Terminator movies were extremely gritty. And Titantic, being a period piece, obviously had a lot of style to them. If dark, muted colors aren't visually bland, what is?

who?

James Cameron. The guy who directed Titanic and Terminator.

I wouldn't really want it any different considering the tone of the story. Imagine Keyser Soze in a red shirt?

BTW i think SR trailers look better in the cinema.

Well personnally, i find Red dragon really bland visually .

And it has a lot of colors.

it come with the way the camera work is staged , the way the set are explored , what details the filmmaker decided to enhance.the imagination.

i 've never found Singer movie bland ..a little rough in some places in X2 ( but look at this shedule, the money that he had and he was trying to accomplish ) but that's all.

Eh, it can be done. Batman Begins had much the same serious tone as the X-Men movies, yet was still able to infuse some different styles here and there, most notably it's homages to Blade Runner.

I haven't seen Red Dragon, so I really can't say. But I've always felt the one area of Singer's direction he had to improve on was his visual style. Until, SR at least.

Singer had his homages too in X-Men and the Usual Suspects; Jaws, Casablanca, Star Trek etc.

I'm calling it a night folks. Good night.

It doesn't matter, its fake. She said that Mota is playing Stacy X, Leung as Sunfire, and that Sentinels would be outside of the Danger Room.

I'd agree that Singer's visual style on X1 and X2 was lacking despite them both being great films. Maybe the larger budget will allow him to express himself more effectively with Superman.

I thought Red Dragon was amazing. Nothing bad about it.

Night, Retro.
