CBM/Voices From Krypton's Bryan Singer/Superman Returns Story Gets Clevver Coverage

I wonder how long it is going to take for him to admit that he has f***** up X-Men. What a dick!

Bryan Singer is a freaking idiot!

There are few bigger Superman fans than myself, and I will never forgive Singer for Superman Returns, but even I am not willing to call the man an idiot. I liked the first two X-Men films.

The best thing DC/WB ever did was get rid of Bryan Singer - it's too bad Fox/Marvel didn't realize that with the X-Men series. I think X-Men: First Class is going to be a very entertaining movie, but there's dozens of ways he could have done that movie without completely screwing over the comic story-line or their own movie-universe continuum.

he did not f up x-men x-men is still on the shelfs at comic stores u want x-men just pick up a comic

@LP4 Nice avatar. And also agree, Superman Returns had a ton of potential. Singer screwed the pooch on that one.

It funny how opinion can shift so much over the years. People love to bash Singer now, but he's the guy who brought us the first 2 X-men movies. Now you can complain all you want about the costumes and the team line-up, and the lack of attention to Cyclops, but they were solid movies that began the modern super hero movie era, set the tone for what was to come, and really helped bring us to where we are today: apporoaching an Avengers movie. Stop pretending like X2 wasn't one of the best CBMs ever. After it came out, half of you were probably talking about Singer the way you talk about Christopher Nolan now. He messed up with Returns. Yeah. I get it. That doesn't erase the good work he's done. Ideally he would have stayed on to direct X-men 3 and someone else would have made a proper modern re-imagining of Superman.

@movietheaterlad- No, people have good reason to trash Singer. The guy fu*ked up Superman- BADLY. His film destroyed the very CORE of Superman's character- made him into a bastard father/stalker and impregnator.

Plus worst of all- THE FILM WAS SO DAMN BORING. FU*K! Nearly 3 hours long and not one punch was thrown, that is pitiful. You gotta admit, the film was bad regardless of it's overall box office. People lined up for the movie because the name "SUPERMAN" was attached you do realize this yes? Anything with the name "Superman" MAKES MONEY. The overall high box office does not reflect that Singer did a good job, it simply proves how popular and beloved Superman really is and that people will still line up for his film no matter how shitty it is. Plus WB barely broke-even on that box office, they wanted to make more than what they spent and they barely like i said- BARELY BROKE EVEN. That is hardly a success story. basic point- People LOVE Superman and they will even pay to see a piece of POO in a red cape just so long as the name "Superman" is attached to it. Singer admitted his mistakes, yeah his X-films were ok, they weren't as good as people make them out to seem but they were ok. But making sub-par Xmen films does NOT excuse Singer from making a horrid Superman film.

@Ed- You don't need to edit THIS comment this time, at least I avoided insulting 'movietheaterlad' this time.

I dont give a goddamn shit he did OK X-men movies and highlighted the genre at that time, cus Im sure someone else would have done a better job had he been convinced of changing careers 10 years ago.

BRIAN SINGER GO CREATE AND SCREW WITH YOUR OWN COMIC CHARACTERS [frick]ING ASSHOLE, AND GIVEM THEM ALL CHILDREN FROM STALKERS

@ LP4 and steerlock and everyone else that reads this

I totally agree with you, and to expand on what you said . At the time x-men was good but now that we look back it its shitty and not good. the comic book movies he made can't hold up to the ones of today. I don't care what people say Christopher Nolan, he is the one that paved the way for the comics, every director that makes comic movies wants to duplicate what he did, yea he made batman grounded in reality but if you think of it batman is somewhat grounded in reality he just has the gadgets and the some villians that are not grounded in reality. And Marvel the actual Marvel, meaning Marvel Studios is staying faithful to the source material and making the way comic book movies should me made,yea they change some things but there not so drastic like what fox and singer do like make cyclops a [frick]ing pussy when he is the main leader and doesn't give a [frick] and does what he wants to do. He ruined Superman. I literally fell asleep during the film, I read both DC and Marvel comics. Fox and Singer can't even stay consistant with their own [frick]ing story with the original xmen movies. I used to like singer when he did original movies like apt pupil, the usual suspects before he and fox [frick]ed up xmen and superman. He doesn't even read comics, he just wants to make a film that he wants to see not the for the fans. He kept the title of first class cause it sounded good thats a slap in the face right there, and there not even using the original either. Id rather see batman begins, the dark knight, both iron mans, captain america, thor, and Green lantern, yes i said green lantern cause at least they are sticking to source material. ITs [frick]ing annoying when people complain about how the suits don't look good, well they trying to make it look like it came from an alien life and not spandex and do you know how hard it is to make a CG suit look very real, very [frick]ing hard but at least they are working on the visual effects. all the xmen movies suck and superman returns, and even first class is going to suck ass. Singer is a lazy ass who doesn't do his research he said in an interview he just watched the cartoon. at least the directors directing Marvel Studios films and Chris Nolan, and the people at warner bros making the DC films are doing thier research and reading the comics and staying very very close to the source material. Just read or watch and interview and they say the directors make them read the comics.

"CBM/Voices From Krypton's Bryan Singer/Superman Returns Story Gets Clevver Coverage," worst headline ever.

BIRTHRIGHT...

Your still the man Ed!

@DarkKnight7 and Wildstar13- Thank you both for the assist! Yeah, not sure how lazy Singer is but definitely he is obnoxious. I mean, I heard that he doesn't even allow his cast to read the comics for inspiration in their roles because he only wants them to go by HIS vision and NOT the source material.

Nolan allowed Heath to read Batman comics and to basically create HIS OWN Joker on film.

Singer is a fu*king hack.

LP4- The problem with Nolan is he didn't want to connect Batman to any other super hero hence messing up the connection that could have lead to a Justice League Movie. CBM's are suppose to be out of this world because that is pretty unbelievable for a man to dress as a Bat and etc... Don't get me wrong the Bat-man Movies were probably the best CBM movies ever made but the fact that he didn't want to have the possibility of othe hero's and just have a separate Universe kind of puts a damper on his style ...

You can even say he is like Singer because he did what he wanted to do. It just worked out better for him.

If you want a Vigilante movie you can see Death Wish true vigilante and also very possible for that time ... ;-)
