It does suck to be me at this point as Fox has control of my favourite characters and ****ed them up in X3. And Marvel themselves seem to be following Fox's 'traditions.'
I genuinly want this movie to be good, i would like all CB movies to be good, but with Fox ****ers, it seems unlikely.
Why do you torture yourself? I wouldn't listen to you either. Do yourself (and all of us here) a favor and just lock yourself in your basement with your comic collection and re-read everything and stop watching the movies. I'm as "true" of a fan as there is but I have no problems differentiating the movie universe from the Marvel Universe. Sometimes change is needed and I have no problem reconciling that fact as long as they stay true to the characters. X-Men and the first FF did that IMO.
Why should Fox pay attention to a few frustrated fanboys when X3's quality and box office speak for themselves? ALL the smart critics loved X3 (Ebert, Roeper, Berardinelli, etc.) and the fact that both the box office numbers and the DVD numbers are stellar indicate that X3 pleased quite a few people.
Overall, like most people (who aren't stuck up fanboys, jealous Superman fans or Cyclops fanatics), I had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed most of X3. Could it have been greater? Probably. Was is a good movie? Hell yeah.
I'm not going to bad mouth Fox when they're the only company that took the comic property rights and ran with it. Spider-Man was a no brainer but Sony has dragged a
ss on all other projects. Getting Ghost Rider pushed through was like pulling teeth. Universal crapped on the Hulk and left Iron Man & Sub-Mariner to die. Lion's Gate is dragging a
ss themselves on Punisher 2 and Black Widow, Iron Fist, etc. are all dead projects. Fox working these properties made Marvel a player and allowed them to form their own studio. You should be thanking Fox, not b
itching every day about a $450 million dollar hit because they choose to make the Dark Phoenix "wrong" in your narrow mind.
FF2 will be as big an improvement over FF as X2 was over X1. If Fox is so off target then simply refuse to pay to see it and quit your whining.
Nuff said.
