Sequels X-Men First Class Poll

[Julio Alejandro]

Exactly. I'm not recommending they do it soon.

As in the other poll thread... a preboot (prequel + reboot) is the best way to undo the stupid events of X3.

What was really that bad about X3?

 

[malgal3000]

I much prefer New Mutants / Gen. X

What was really that bad about X3?

oh gee, I don't know...
The Phoenix being a "split personality"
Rogue giving up her powers
Cyclops dying after 2 seconds of screen time
Psylocke.
Juggernaut.
Multiple Man robbing 8 banks at one time? So stupid and corny I could die
The final battle: X-Men B-squad vs 9,000 nameless mutants
No Nightcrawler
Leech not looking like a leech
the corny dialogue through out
Wolverine being the only one that could save the day....again
"I'm the Juggernaut ******!"
Rogue going from a main character to a useless mutant in background
Angel being a "new character" as opposed to a former student/X-Man
Callisto having Caliban's power
Callisto being incredibly beautiful
Bret Ratner
and many, many, more things

^ Basically...

Poor script
Lackluster direction
Insufficient runtime
Lack of overall artistic development

Regardless, First Class, if made within the next few years per Fox’s contract, should not contain the original five, as it conflicts with the current franchise. If they use the original five, it should be in a complete reboot. At which point, the movie shouldn’t even be called X-Men: First Class.

^Why not? The title has nothing to do with the original series of movies but a series of comics dealing with the adventures of the original five mutants at the SFTG. It's not like it's called X-Men Origins: First Class.

I just don't care for the title X-Men: First Class. It doesn't sound particularly good to me. It sounds like the title of a TV show, like Saved by the Bell: The New Class or The College Years. It doesn't sound like the title of a movie that woud be taken seriously. I prefer something classic or something smart, and I don't think X-Men: First Class fits that description (but that's just me).

 

[jaymes_e06]

Fair enough, but I don't think it's nearly as bad as the SBTB spin offs you mentioned.

 

[BMM]

No, it's not as bad, but I think they can do better too.

 

[jaymes_e06]

^ But then again was "The Last Stand" that inventive?

 

[BMM]

I've never been a big fan of that title either. Apparently, Fox likes its subtitles. In the end, as long as the movie's good, I'll be happy, regardless of its title.
