2006 / Brett Ratner > To my dearest Bryan Singer: I don’t know if I can ever forgive you for abandoning the X-Men. I’m sure I’m not alone in this assessment. Mr. Ratner has meddlingly turned what potential you put forth in this series into a childish circus, filled with caricatures and dialogue that ought to be spoken by eight-grade thespians. Why are there so many wild tangents in this film? Why do people have to die left and right for emotion to be evoked? Why essentially windowdress what could have otherwise been a considerably deeper storyline than the previous two? By the end, I could care less about the explosions because I was so bored by the whole escapade. And what about that silly post-credits “ending?” What purpose does it really serve other than to say, “Hi, I am Brett Ratner, and I am planning on directing another X-Men film!” Dearest Bryan, please do your best to keep him away from such a tragedy. Thank you.
