ITS ABOUT TIME FOR THIS!!! THEY SHOULD OF DONE A BETTER JOB DESCRIBING ROGUES POWERS(Flighing, super-strength & stealing powers) IN THE FIRST MOVIE!! THEY COULD OF HAD A ORIGINS ABOUT ROGUE ON MAGNETO & MYSTIQUES(her mom) TEAM & HOW SHE KILLED MS. MARVEL FOR HER POWERS. SHE WAS BAD UNTIL PROF.X FOUND HER.
WHERE'S GAMBIT IN ALL THIS? ISNT ROGUE AND GAMBIT BF AND GF??

kind of happy Singer is back but not all that fussed with First Class, oh well I'll take what I can get right now for comic films

Am I the only person who doesn't like Jackman as Wolverine? I've said it before and I'll say it again: Michael Madsen would have been perfect.

So here's what needs to happen. First Class should be used as a way to get X4&X5: Rise of Apocalypse going and to re-stream line all the events including Wolverine into one linear story. It's getting convoluted in this universe and the studio is going to want to reboot the series, while Wolverine is still existing in this other Universe.

The movie should start in the present at mansion with Beast or whoever reminiscing about the early days. The movie cuts back and forth, predominately staying in the first class era. But we cut back to the future to get little tidbits of some type of big disturbance happening and clues leading us to what happened to Scott, the Professor etc.

The movie closes with a First Class battle, cuts back to the future where Beast has finished telling his story, and bam Scott re-appears. "He's coming!"

Whether this movie is good or bad, hopefully Singer can fix the story without having to start this thing all over again.

Awesome news!!!!! They couldn't do anything better.

what the hell why not do X-Men 4

I think alot of people are hesitant to try and clean up the mess that the third film made.

finally a true Bryan
singer x men trilogy

Give X-Men to Zack Snyder ALREADY!!!

300 and Watchmen suck.

I may be alone on this one, but I'm not exactly excited by this news. I believe the first two X-Men movies were excellent. However, I was really hoping that First Class would be a completely separate film from the others. This way the film could have a different tone (if the story fit) and could ignore anything that was already used in the others (good and bad). With Singer coming back it will likely feel like the first two movies and will try to tie in the stories. Not what I was hoping for, but could still be okay.

Yeah, I'm not sold on kiddy x-men, but I'm hoping it'll be a good film with Singer at the helm. It'll be interesting to see how much continuity there is in this film. Hopefully it won't ignore everything that's happened like Wolverine did.

Am I the only one who doesn't want a teeny-bopper X-Men movie?

We all want a teeny-bopper X-Men movie, surely?

You just need to think like a Hollywood Mogul: "It's Twilight meets Superheroes!!!! It's so lucratively genius that I just came in my pants!"

Sign Solid Snake on, and you've just sold a ticket.

Oh god. another crappy x-men movie, this time from a rather crappy series.
will turn out boring and flat like the first three movies (yes, i'm one who disliked singer's ones too).

meh.....need the Deadpool spinoff first.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine Origins : Deadpool... Origins.

I may be alone here, but the X-Men franchise was all over the place for me, and the movies really weren't that great. It went to extremes with plot devices, such as Professor X being disintegrated, and the way they try to integrate the myriad characters from the comics didn't pay off. The original X-Men, which this movie should be about, included Angel, but his character was rehashed and dulled down to a trite and cliche device in the third movie.

The appropriate setup for the X-Men would be investing money behind an X-Men television series, as that is the only way the huge library of characters and story lines could ever be fully exploited, and done with the best respect to the source material.

If you want something that's like the comics, read the comics.

Well which movies weren't that great? All of your complaints seem to be from Last Stand or Wolverine. Singer did the first 2 and they're regarded as pretty excellent. I think I speak for the majority when I say the movies didn't start falling apart until Last Stand. And since that's the case it's great news to have Singer back.

I agree somewhat.

Do I believe that Fox version of the X-Men is finished? Absolutely.

XM3 & XO:W made sure of that.

Now the suits are all desperate to revitalize the series but they'd be better off if they allowed Marvel to handle production and Fox can just worry about distribution.

That right there is tremendous pipe dream as Fox would never agree to this.

Although having Bryan Singer is much better than Fox being complete giblet heads and hiring a director who'd have no idea what to do with the property (Gavin Hood & Brett Ratner).

Singer is a much better option.

As little as 5-10 years ago I would have said tv could never do justice to the X-Men. But tv effects and production values have improved by leaps and bounds. Sci-fi tv shows have been doing a fantastic job in delivering the razzle-dazzle. An X-Men live action tv show could be done today.

They already have one, it's called Heroes...

it's about time Fox did something right. Yeah I realize this happened about 10 years ago but it needed to happen again after X3 and X-men Origins Wolverine. Bring some quality back to the X-men, make the Marvel property proud again, not something laughable.

As long as Fox keeps churning out X-men movies, Marvel will never regain the rights. Fox was on a downward path of profitability IMO. Which would have meant diminished returns on each film until they stopped making them and the X-Men franchise returned to Marvel. Now Fox will get a bump up with Singer and that hoped for day will be pushed back even farther. Oh well. Eventually Fox will run the franchise into the ground. I have faith in that at least. Fox cares very little about the quality of their films. Most of their movies don't even make any sense. It's a bunch of nonsensical scenes spliced together that leave you asking "Huh? What happened to the plot?" I pity all the actors and directors working with them. I really do.

Yes, you are correct about the assumption Fox will eventually run X-men into the ground, I have nothing wrong with that statement. But, I will say that bringing Singer back is movement in the right direction.

Yes, I wanted Fox to fail on so many levels after the last two X-films but if they're going to try to salvage what they have a give us another few flicks that are on the same quality level as the first two X-films, I'm not going to complain.

By the way, yes, a Marvel Studios produced X-men film would definitely kick ass.

Singer lobbied hard for this. I guess he feels this is his best chance to turn his career around. Personally, I felt a return to his long gone indie days of Usual Suspects would be the best place to turn things around, but Singer keeps chasing hard after all these action films. He is far from his indie start today. Now he is a nice director of B-movie material.

This is great news. Wolverine Origins almost made me lose all interest in the franchise but bring back Singer will definitely reinvigorate my interest

This is going to be epic IMO as I do feel that Singer can bring the best of this kind of movie out.

Damnit, damnit, DAMNIT! I spent too long reading CRASHkennedy's asinine story about a Michael Bay X-Men to post what I was going to say, which was exactly this! You beat me by mere seconds.

Anyway I agree, I have faith in Singer, but as soon as I read, "Seems unlikely that he’ll get to work with Jackman much in this one, however, as the film is meant to cover the team of X-Men prior to Wolverine’s arrival in the first film," I rolled my eyes and thought yeeaah right! Wolverine is like 200, I'm sure FOX will shoe him in somewhere. What would an X-Men movie be without Wolvie?!

Err.. that was a reply to Palmer, I put it in the wrong place.. I blame the cancel button I accidentally hit the first time.

EDIT: My bad, I get so pissed when people reply to their own comments instead of editing, and I just did it. It's late, I'm out...

Fucktard.

dude, why are you even telling us this? it's not like anyone cares

Well my comment could look pretty confusing if it wasn't given some context. No one would know who I was referring to. I think you're just mad I called your Bay X-Men story asinine.

Dude, why did you respond, it's not like that had to be said.

Hopefully it'll be great. Though I have the sneaking suspicion that Fox might have Singer shoehorn in Wolverine somehow.

They can always have him lose his memory... again!

This......this is a good thing, right?

Anything that keeps him from creating another disastrous Superman crap pile is a good thing.

nope.

we need some more inventive directors like michael bay or bret ratner, not this hack bryan singer!! seriously, xmen and x2 were such a joke. he should have used The last stand as a reference of how to do a good x-flick before he made those films.

X2 was the best xmen movie so far. But wtf bay or ratner? How about Zack effin Snyder?!!

You shut your mouth with this blasphemy!!!!

i want michael bay to direct.

i can already see it:

Scott and beast get into a fight over which cereal is better; fruity pebbles or frosted flakes(frosted flakes of course). their argument gets heated and scott calls beast a fat blue hairy gorilla. beast gets mad and smacks scott's glasses off his face. his lazerz destroy the ceiling and the camera pans up to see a half naked jean changing clothes(in slo mo) one floor up. she didnt hear or see the lazerz which MAKES PERFECT SENSE so she doesnt know she can be seen!! scott and beast stare up at her and crack some jokes. they are friends again. beast makes a sexy fart joke and scott busts a nut. the scene then cuts to two dogs humping each other for about a minute. funny stuff. all of a sudden, professor x arrives on his roflcoptr. he is greeted by storm who is also half naked which MAKES PERFECT SENSE!! then all of a sudden scott shoop da woops again and hits professor x right in the testicles. funny stuff. professor x dies and goes to robot heaven where they tell him that his brother juggernaut is on the way with rocket launchers and tanks(just like in the comics) to destroy the mansion. the professor says kthnxbye and comes back to life. he evacuates the building just in time before juggernut nukes it which we get to see over and over again in 8 glorious angles. then robin comes out after eating some hash brownies (which he thought were normal brownies even though batman told him multiple times that they were hash) and jumps on beast back for some surprise buttsex! we watch that for about a minute before the title sequence kicks in(montage of explosions and giant robots/sentinels fighting).

ALL IN THE FIRST 15 MINUTES!!!

Hey remember that guy Michael Bay who makes crappy movies.

Yeah, thanks, we all remember that guy. Seriously, its like the Chuck Norris jokes all over again.

Michael Bay jokes are not funny.

'Michael Bay jokes' is just redundant.

I think he should make a movie called "X-Men 3: Shit Yeah" and just make the phoenix story arc all over again, totally ignoring the 3rd movie in the series.

I know this is asking to much but I really hope Bryan Singer gets a hold of Wolverine again too.

That character is in a messy situation right now.
