I thought he did a great job with first Xmen, But I can never forgive him for Superman Returns and don't think he should ever be allowed near a camera again. Plus, everything he does is laced with an immense amount of latent campness!!

To answer a previous question, no, X2 was not a great movie, nor even a good one. Singer's films are dull, dull, dull and this is the worst news possible for the X franchise. Why people persist in holding 1&2 up as some kind of standard is beyond me. They come across as dull TV movies with deeply inadequate action, dull one-on-one fights (boring) and worst of all have created this stupid idea of a love affair between Jean and Wolverine, side tracking Cyclops to an also ra More

Who needs who here more Fox having lost 2 directors in quick succesion or Singer whose not really had a hit for a while?
ndeed. I am still surprised at Singer being bought back in!. To be fair, I liked X-men 1 and 2, decent comic adaptations,just felt cheated on the action scenes. If it wasn't for Vinnie Jones I would've rated part 3 too. Prefered X-men first class to all of them. Oh well, atleast its not Nolan (any chance I get baby! oh yeh)

X-Men First Class wasn't a patch on X2 which is hands down the high point in the X-Men on the big screen. First Class was pretty good but it had a fair few problems, the tone was all over the place at times and too many of the characters didn't feel properly fleshed out. Still it was good fun and Vaughn and Singer deserve credit for making it relatively fresh without losing that connection with the original films, which is why I'm delighted that they are the team behind it again even if the rol More

| RE: Stick A Fork In Him |
I for one am very happy about this. X-Men 2 was awesome & still to this day my favourite comic book film. Loved others but nothing has come close to the excitement I had when I saw X-2 at the flicks. First Class was good though I didn't enjoy it as most folk seem to of done. Too many stupid characters (Zoë Kravitz stupid wasp thing) awful acting ( Zoë Kravitz & January Jones) stupid moments (Frost being strangled by a brass bed while in her diamond form!?) and the action was a bit meh & unde More

So it's more of a swap in roles, with Singer directing and Vaughn producing. That's great, hopefully it means that they're happy with the formula/DNA from the first one (which I really like) and that the next one has more time to give it an extra bit of polish. I was sad that Vaughn wasn't doing it but heck, if Singer's doing it then I'm back in smiley mode. People forget that Singer's X-Men was the comic book movie that made them 'real' again (5 years before Chris Nolan). It blew me away in 200 More

He will completely change the feel and visual aesthetic of the first class movie, which normally I would be ok with as it's another guys take on it. But going with what singer done with the first two x men movies, I feel the movie will be in danger in becoming too dull, a tad depressing and overly serious, basically the fun sapped out of it! First class managed to keep dark tones very present but still managed a good balance with fun and excitement. I hope I am wrong and I did enjoy x2. Just hav More

Depressing news, Singer's X-Men movies weren't great. First Class was a superb movie that handled the multi-character story the way Singer was never able to. No wonder he wants back in now he's been outdone. More
