(May 4, 2014 at 12:01 pm)Stimbo Wrote: This often tends to happen to comicbook film series. The first outing is a highly-praised vision of a much-loved title. The second is eagerly anticipated as a vessel for expanding on the themes and imagery of the first. The third instalment is such a bastardised, cartoonish betrayal of audience expectations that the fourth instalment is forced to pulp the whole lot and reinvent everything as a "gritty reboot".
Actually, I think the only thing that got rebooted out of X-men was the terrible third movie; from what I remember it's set in the same continuity as the others, just before them.
Have we seriously gone four pages or so through a movies thread without mentioning that a certain King of Monsters is having his big comeback in a few weeks?
