Description:

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?

Eight years after promptly leaving Fox in the dust to do Superman Returns, director Bryan Singer felt he had something to prove. So, in his own little way, he set off to make his own version of Marvel’s The Avengers by gathering both his old and Matthew Vaughn’s new casts together for the ultimate in X-Men movies, an adaptation of the much heralded series of comic books entitled Days of Future Past.

Join Matt, Batch, and myself for perhaps the most spirited discussion in this series yet, as two of us find Singer’s 2014 film to be a new standard of X-Men films in a class all by itself. And one of us….doesn’t.
