What was wrong with the first X-Men?
And Superman Returns, while no cinematic masterpiece, gets too much grief. It was far better than many other comic book movies.
How about none of the characters had names other than their superhero names?
Or that they were all just kind of two-dimensional cutouts of characters who had been around for decades and were pretty fully developed.
I did like the Second X-Men movie better, but it was nowhere as good as the source material, Graphic Novel #6- God Loves, Man Kills.
Superman Returns, I thought had bad lighting, slow pacing, and was kind of derivative of the Donner Superman movies, and not in a good way. It did give me a whole new appreciation of the ablity of Reeves, Kidder and Hackman to take hackneyed material and make it good.
