Well stop going to see them, they're not about to stop making them anytime soon, they've already announced a sequel to Wolverine, then there's a Magneto movie due out as well as a Deadpool one in the works..... so looks like you're fresh outta luck. Just ignore them.
My friends enjoyed the Wolverine film. Its not great, but its not bad either. Wolverine is a character that isn't really meant to have a past bar his time in WW2 and turning into Weapon X, which they touched on in X-men 2 anyway.
X-men 3 was the Pheonix Saga, which I enjoyed. The fifth and final x-men film is going to be the origin of Magneto, that should make an interesting film.

Good reason to be scared went to see it yesterday absolutely terrible! X men movies just aren't X men ie. all special effects no in depth story. Also stop introducing characters for the sake of just having them there! A 5 minute scene contributing absolutely nothing to the plot line is just irritating.
If they did these stories in the comics most fans would be fine. I find that the fear and negativity comes from the fact that it's a new industry handling our old stories, and this makes us uncertain. The way to enjoy these films is to forcibly separate the story they tell us from the stories we know. It shouldn't be that hard, comic books are fond of alternate realities as a vehicle for the story. Why can't this also be true?
A few friends of mine told me that the new one is better than the trilogy. Give it a chance before you outright say "I've had enough."
I've seen the new wolverine movie.. And let me tell you this.. It was flocking awesome! A must see!
If they were to make sequels akin to Xmen, and X2, I would love it! But they change directors, and lose the plot, and butcher the characters so much now, that it is hard to get excited for a new XMen movie.
Not entirely true, his past has been very debated, and was never really touched on in comics until recently, with release of the Origin of Wolverine comic. But it sucked. So I wouldn't say full and detailed past.Simriel said:
A good movie is a good movie, whatever it's based on. X-Men 1 and 2 were good, X-Men 3 was disappointing and from what I hear X-Men Origins: Wolverine is average. In each case it has more to do with the director and stars than the fact that it's part of a franchise.
it seems that marvel is doing what they did with the first hulk movie, and that is cutting all ties to it. the first three x-men movies were horrid!! so the creators just want to make several origin movies to tell the past of the truely bad asses of the series. that and the x-men movies will help tie in the avenger movie together when it comes out.(thats why nick fury was in the ironman movie and stark was in the hulk movie)
Okay then... How about you stop investing your money in them and let us enjoy our movies. If you demand that they stop making X-Men movies then why don't you just demand they stop making comic-based moves altogether? Oh yeah, thats right... THEY WONT! Why, because they make piles and piles of cash and some of them are actually good.
No, what the comic industry needs is MORE of this blatant crapification of our memories! I probably would've been a lifetime fan of Marvel, but when they Ultimate-ed everything up, my love for comic books died. I smile when I think of all the money I've saved by being alienated as a consumer. It's a win-win, too, because all their writers get to say that they're EXTREEEEEEEEEEEME! as they come up with storylines while they pound keggers and mountainbike off cliffs.
As for the movies.....there as so many unnecessary changes to basic character values that I leave the theatre with a bitter taste in my mouth. Two such instances come to mind: Having Spider-Man kill the burglar who killed his uncle (in the comic, the whole "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" thing was ACTUALLY considered and he made sure to NOT kill the burglar) in the first Spider-Man and making Rorschach kill the child molester/murderer outright (in the comic, he gave the guy a SAW-esque option of cutting his arm off with a hacksaw to free himself) in Watchmen. I believe these actions really stunted the growth of the characters in the audience's mind and, in the second case more than the first, seem to make masked vigilantes seem more batshit-crazy than they're intended to be. The point of the liberties filmwriters take is lost to me.
