X3, X4, 5,6,7 ... everybody loves a steady paycheck

Rating: 8/10 (12 May 2003)

Bryan Singer and the entire cast should count on doing one of these films every 12 to 18 months ... they are realizing the story perfectly, and none of the actors should get pretentious and big-headed and say they need "new creative challenges" ... don't walk away from a multi-million dollar paycheck kids ... your talents are being perfectly used for terrific pop-culture cinema that requires what - 6-10 weeks of your time for the actors. X-2 is better than the first, which was terrific. Bring on the Sentinals but skip the outer space stuff - stay with the classic storyline from late 60s through early 80s. Let's see Havok, Angel, Inhumans, and Iceman riding sheets of ice (Pheonix is obviously next up for X3), but not the Hellfire Club crap or Bishop, or any Chris Claremont stories (the guy who ruined X-Men for those of us who read it from the beginning).
