I know there’s been ALOT of grumbling and despair in the X-Men camp since it was announced Brian Singer wouldn’t be doing the 3rd installment. When Brett Ratner was announced as the new director, the chorus of boos became even louder. I’m by no means an X-men fanatic, nor do I follow comic books in general, so I’ve been a bit puzzled by all the naysaying going on by the fanboys. I will say that I think the previous two X-men (in particular X2), have been two of the best comic book movies ever made. No offense intended to Batman Begins, or the two Spidermans…both fine films in my opinion. But I find it somewhat funny that so much doom and gloom is going on before anyone ever saw a single frame of film.
The teaser for X3 was just released, and it looks pretty good to me. I’m very interested in how they plan on handling Dr Grey’s new incarnation of Pheonix.
