People bitch that WB does not respect the source material enough but Fox wipes its arse with the source material. I don't mind changing stuff, but why do they feel the need to change so much?
Does anyone else doubt the Horsemen turn on Apocalypse before the end? I mean all four of them are X-Men.
Then you haven't been listening. Plenty have been bitching about the X-Men films through their run. Mostly, this is because they crap on really good characters to service Wolverine, then Mystique (who are good characters as well, but they are often at their best when they have REAL characters to bounce off of). But also because they just hack up storylines, switch focal points, and don't really play to the strength of the X-Men, that of a team vs. the World (X2 and DOFP did this well however).
Singer has routinely forgotten the most important X-Men - Scott, Jean (X3 wasn't his), Ororo, in particular, to focus on X-Men who aren't really that central to what the X-Men are about.
Personally, I dislike Singer's take on the X-men, and what this has provided us. Personally. However.....
Most of the movies are quite good on their own. X2 is a Top 5 comic film, DOFP and First Class are solid. The only real stinker in the X films is 3 and it has redeeming qualities (I am not counting the Wolverine movies). He butchers the source material, but he still makes competent films, that's why you don't see the backlash.
This is looking like more of "Well, I better just give up getting a real X-Men movie," but as long as he makes a good film, I guess that's that.

I agree with some of that. They made Cyclops a whiny Puss in the movies and he was a bad arse in the comics.

I agree with all of this completely. The X-Men movies are generally really good movies and great comic book movies but absolutely shitty X-Men movies.
As a comic book fan, I live with it because Marvel still gives me great comic book movies even if they are just good as your average movie.
