Ever heard the saying money is the root of all evil? Well here is a nice example. The studios really don't care what the story is, they just want $$$. And without a studios backing a movie practicaly never gets made. They even purposely change the story not only to amuse a bigger audience but also so that they can put on the credits the words " Based on the story by " Therefore they don't have to pay the full amount of royalties to the original writers of the stories. Sucks right? We all know that ONLY cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, beast and angel were the first students of charles xavier. I would like that to remain for the movies as any fan of the comics would but I think we both doubt that will happen. And don't forget that marvel even rebooted the x-men comics with the ultimate x-men which changed everything again. So who knows what they will do in the movie. G’day Thomas

Bryan Singer single handedly destroyed two of the most endearing comic franchises of all time. His telling and direction of the Xmen was horrible. He took the characters to places that they should never have been. And please dont get me started on Superman Returns. That movie was the biggest piece of crap ever made. Yes, all the movies made money, but that doesnt mean they were good. Anyone can gold plate a turd and it would draw attention. But to actually make something that holds any similarities to the original stories is something different. The latest Batman movies proves that a great story with good direction can lead to big dollars. Hopefully someone will get a clue this time too. Hearing this makes me almost sick to my stomach.
