As long as Hollywood makes money from the X-Men films and spin off films they will want to milk that cow for every dime they can get. Their will be an X4.
Lobster Charlie said:I think this series is a mess. I'd rather see them take this thing in a completely different direction.
It never felt big enough to be an X-Men movie. It nevery had enough style to really set it apart from something you may see as a made-for-tv (cable) film. No seriously dynamic shots, boring costuming, and apart from Wolverine/Magneto/Professor X, you really have a bunch of bland actors without a whole lot to do.
If they make an X4, they're basically working with broken tools at this point. The "Singer Style," which is really no style at all, if they decide to stick with it, has pigeon-holed them into blandness. You're also stuck with a bunch of characters that don't really do anything.
Storm was miscast, Iceman has no character arc, Rogue has been useless for about 2 entire films, Cyclops was a waste, Wolverine isn't even Wolverine anymore, Jean Grey (zzz), Angel is completely useless, Nightcrawler is nothing like he was in the comics....I mean, as far as I'm concerned, this thing needs to be rebooted completely, and they could easily do that in the 4th film.
If we get an X4, I pray to God they give it a good shot of adrenaline, a brand new team of writers and a director with style and charisma that doesn't happily neuter his alpha male characters.
Apocalypse is so big for the next sequel, in my opinion. It would happen like X3. Fox seems to be unabble to make justice to big sagas, so a more "simple" plot would be the best for X4, something like Batman Begins, less big action, and more drama. If you really want a good film, that would be the best.
Well i think the rpoblem is not with fox but with the directers.
Writers and execs, too.
No one could've turned X3 into a masterpiece with that script.
