 Before Disney and the Marvel Cinematic Universe took over all things comic book, there was 20th Century Fox and X-Men. If someone wants to see what the comic book film landscape looked like, just take a look at 1989’s Punisher and 1994’s Phantom. But then came Blade (which we’ll cover eventually), a movie that came out in 1998 and proved that cinematic movies based on comic books could indeed be financially successful. And after a lot of false pretenses and multiple script changes, Marvel’s X-Men was finally ready to roll before cameras with little known director Bryan Singer behind the camera. Little did we know that not only would this franchise have a lot of peaks and valleys, but the Mouse House would eventually swallow its rights up whole. Will Garrett, Matt, and Batch enjoy the ride up to and through this year’s Dark Phoenix?
By 2006, almost everyone associated with the X-Men was done with it. Bryan Singer had moved on to another movie about capes called Superman Returns. And all the cast were up for renegotiation, as word was that the third movie of the trilogy, X-Men: The Last Stand, was going to be it. With new director Brett Ratner signed on and The Dark Phoenix saga ready to finally leap from page to screen -much to the delight of long time X-Men readers- this would have to be the best X-Men movie yet. Right?
Join Matt, Batch, and myself as we continue this look through the X-Men series, and review our first non Bryan Singer directed entry. Will The Last Stand’s budget of $168 million be enough to make fans and film audiences alike happy? Listen to find out!
