Singer Also Hated X-Men 3
Bryan Singer loves the X-Men almost as much as he loves making out with Frank Langella. And that's A LOT.
Well, okay, he doesn’t say that exactly. But when asked about the third X-film, which Brett Ratner directed while he was doing Superman Returns, Singer replied “It’s weird for me to watch it, because I’m so close to the universe. And also Brett is a good friend of mine. But, of course, I would love to return to that universe.” That sounds like disappointment to me.
He goes on to say he’d be interested in doing another X-Men film. To which I said, in a recent interview, “Yes please.” Too bad all the interesting characters are dead, depowered, or wussies now. Thanks, Ratner.

Hahaha. “dead, depowered, or wussies now.”
Or Kelsey Grammar.
I would argue, though, they could bring back Phoenix and no one would have any clue she was in the 3rd movie. Because she basically wasn’t.

I’m still trying to figure out what happened to Cyclops…

My roommate, a hardcore lover of Cyclops, is determined that Scott is not dead since there was never a body and somehow his glasses survived. However, if they tried again, I have faith they could do awesome with those they have left. Just please stop with the Wolverine nonsense. Also bring back Nightcrawler. Done.

If Singer does X-Men 4, I’m hoping it starts with Wolverine waking up and realizing X-Men 3 and X-Men Origins: Wolverine were both his bad dreams.

The best review of Origins that I read:
“Wolverine, you may have forgotten your origins, but the rest of us are deprived of that luxury.”
