It seems those still a bit sore about Bryan Singer's treatment of Superman aren't so annoyed that they're unwilling to give him another shot at the Mutants, as the favorite to take over from Matthew Vaughn on the X-Men: First Class sequel is also the favorite - by a large majority - in our poll. Singer came first with a whopping 1,005 Votes (43.10%). Fans must have been very impressed with how J.J. Abrams handled the melding of new and old Star Trek universes as he came in second with 354 Votes (15.18%), and just beating Duncan Jones with 163 Votes (6.99%) was Looper director Rian Johnson. Brett Ratner got 88 Votes, I'm assuming as some sort of sick Halloween prank..

That's extremely proper. I'm confident that Singer can still handle the X-Men property well - X-Men: First Class was partly his responsibility after all - and say what you want to say about the man, but he makes good movies. Give it to him.

He makes good movies except movies that start with Super and end with Man

I don't hate Superman Returns, but I understand how people see it as a bad adaptation of the character...that maybe is true, but as a movie alone, I fail to see how it's THAT bad in any aspect!

So yeah, I still believe in Singer.

@Jolt17

Superman Returns was bad he did not even try and make a different Superman that stands on its on. he just copy Donner version of Superman.

Whenever I see a director poll on this site, I always see same names. I'm gonna say names like Jeff Nicholes, Tomas Alfredson or Rupert Wyatt. Yeah, how about some different names, right?

@jazzman, he never was a fan of ANY comic books. Not X-Men, not Superman, not anything. He's in it for the money. I'm not hatin' on his directorial skills, cuz they're ok, but don't say something that's not true. I have the dvds, i know what he says.

Awww man. I was so pumped for this movie. God speed Bryan Singer
Giznad
Giznad - 10/28/2012, 7:33 AM
@Name, they don't. In fact, it could be better that way. But I heard from Singer that he was never a fan of comics, so I just wanted to set it straight. The best actors in these franchises are usually never fans of the comics, so perhaps being a fan could distort one's efforts and focus.

I felt Green Lantern was affable. Not loveable, not hateable.

I actually feel it was the second best CBM of that year after Captain America, though. Thor was [frick]ing awful (they did great in Avengers, though), and First class was half-great, and half awful (terrible action, dialogue, acting on the part of a few). Green Lantern was okay, but it was consistent okay. Cap was great, maybe my favourite Marvel Studios movie.

I feel like Singer made the only consistently good X-Men film: X2. And now that it's in First Class terrirtory, it can stop being a Matrix Rip-Off and be something truly great.

Both green lantern and captain America were both crap.
jazzman

@Maximus101

Cap aint crap its not great but its more watchable compare to Green Lantern. also at least Cap getting a sequel LOL

Singer may be the most overrated filmmaker in the business.
Jolt17
Jolt17 - 10/28/2012, 8:05 AM
Pux: Exactly. Although I'd say that Green Lantern is not that "smooth" a movie as there are some parts of it that were undeniably bad, its biggest weakness is indeed the disappointment.

jazzman: It's indeed pretty clear...my point, however, is that characters, loyalty to the material source, and all that aside, as a movie alone Superman Returns isn't, say, painful to watch! It utilizes great visuals, decent script, great performances, and all other aspects of the movie are strong enough to make it a watchable movie, to say the least.

Sure, it isn't the best Superman adaptation if not a terrible one - that depends on each's opinion - but my point is that it's supposed to fall under the "Good movie, not a good CBM," category rather than the "One of the worst of all time," one.

In the end it doesn't matter who directs, FOX has ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT to the source material. The x-men onscreen have been powered down, neutered, clumsy looking, with blink and you'll miss it action sequences. Take Havoc for example, they couldn't even get his proper firing stance or the color of his plasma burst(blue). More hula hoop Havoc, anyone??

It's funny how a majority of users on this site used to bitch about Bryan Singer and his X-Men films, yet suddenly everyone wants him to return to the franchise.

I liked his two X-Men films, but I'm not sure I want him back for this one. It seems he works better in helping develop the story rather than directing, and I think if he returned it might seem like a step backward.

ricko8687 - 10/28/2012, 9:18 AM
Singer will do the X-Men justice,, he's familiar with the characters, but he's got to really bring the action and show how this team fight as a group, give Whedon a call

If you all hate Fox so much the answer is simple. Just stop watching the their movies. Don't like their Marvel movies? You're all the ones that payed to watch the X-franchise and made it a success. If they personally offend you that much just read the comics or watch the animated series.

I'll take Singer over Vaughn all day. Watching other directors butcher the X-Men movies has given me a great appreciation for what Singer accomplished. I have struggled over the last 2 years to figure out one thing I liked about First Class, but it is just so painful for me to watch. X2 was easily the best in the series, followed by the first X-men movie. It's a toss up between X-Men United and First Class for dead last IMO.
