SR vs X3

[cryptic name]

How did you people manage to sit through SR?
I felt like I was sitting on thumbtacks the whole time.
At least the blasphemous X3 had some ACTION.
I swear, Spacey seemed like he was playing with that train set for 20 minutes.

we have patience?

Me too, as I've sat through and immensely enjoyed many slower paced films than SR. The difference between those films and SR though, is that they're actually good.

This thread brings the two franchises that one man has butchered with his bizzaro world version of talent, X3 was the first X-Men film that was even close to mediocre since Singer wasn't there to taint it. X3 was at a huge disadvantage to boot since the first two movies did an obscenely bad job of characterization and instead of a culminative achivement, the characters are just starting to have an ounce of substance.
SR is a 2 and a half hour, $100+ Smallville episode, a character drama by a guy that knows nothing about character.
X3 isn't very good, but it really doesn't need to be to top something with "Directed by Bryan Singer(aka, the Uwe Boll of big budget filmmaking, with the only difference between the two being that Boll doesn't waste hundreds of millions on his wastes of film, and he's not met with an absurd amount of undeserved praise that he's done nothing to earn)attached to it.

I wanna vote so bad but I haven't watched SR yet

It's just cool to hate Ratner nowadays. That's the only reason Superman Returns is winning.

 

[CConn]

I like Ratner and I voted for SR.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Yeah i like his Rush Hour movies and I'm looking forward to the third plus After The Sunset was fun,he framed Salma's boobs brilliantly

it has nothing to do with ratner for me. i simply enjoyed superman much more than X3. it was a better movie imo.

 

[blind_fury]

Well that accounts for 4% of the SR voters but I'm pretty sure most were influenced by Ratner's poor reputation.

 

[CConn]

Or maybe they were influenced by fact that X3 sucked.

Yeah I mean that's what account for all the voting Ratner hate.

Couldn't be that people just didn't like X3.

Is everything in your world black and white?

Aside from X-Men 3, I've never seen a film by Brett Ratner. Never really read any interviews with the man either. Infact, the only thing I really know about him was that he used to be the one-time director for WB's Superman restart they planned, and somehow he and Singer traded franchises at some point.

Yet I still voted Superman Returns over X-Men 3, and would've voted several other dividedly fanbased comic book films over X-Men 3 aswell. Not because of the director, who I know little about, but because of the only film I've ever seen under his direction, and it's content.

So... um, no. Not really.

Superman got my vote...It was great up to the plane rescue then it had it ups and downs till the end....I not a big supes fan but I loved the the STAS, I wish they could take some stuff like that to put it into the movies..it was great along side BTAS....X3 was just rubbish from the begining....just had too much charaters die.....wasted a great storyline....and just ended the trilogy on a sloppy note....I pray they don't make any more for the next ten years....

Superman is stomping all over X3 on the polls....

 

[Movies205]

They both suck equally, they both manage to piss all over there respected characters while keeping a semblance of being somewhat credible...

I feel like Superman's bastard son just threw a piano at me.

Wait until I whip out the cellophane \S/, you'll be bedazzled to death.

 

[blind_fury]

Is that before I stalk your family using my x-ray vision or after I carry a small country made of kryponite into space?

 

[CConn]

After both. But hey, look at it this way, at least I won't be doing something really silly like spinning the world in reverse to turn back time.

 

[WorthyStevens]

I hate to say this, but SR kicked X3's precious hiney.

 

[TheBat812]

The X3 film sucked because of the script. Superman Returns, while not everybody's cup of tea, was not a bad movie. Perhaps it was not the perfect Superman film as far as purists go, but it was a good movie, as critics showed.

Actually only Superman went back in time. The Earth's rotation changing was simply symbolic of that fact. Nice try though.

Go back to watching movies that make a mockery of Superman's character like Superman Returns.

SR's script had problems too, Superman doesn't speak, thus putting the main character onus on Lex, whos plan is at best faulty

A mockery approved and hailed by the director of Superman: The Movie.

Of course he wasn't going to bad mouth the movie, he was cutting superman 2 so it could be released at the same time as SR, if he trashes the movie this plan to coincide the two releases won't work

And plus even lousy head is still head, If you where Donner and getting your dick sucked by singer that much, even if it sucked you wouldn't complain that much.
