I really like Jessica Chastian's performance and manner, while her character was too bland, what a waste.
It was able to go for nearly 20 years, that alone is a big success compare to other superhero franchises. if Singer hadn't left for SR it would have been handled even better.
And remember, Kevin Feige was also the producer of X-Men for a while, without the experience and lesson he had learned from these movies, there would be no MCU. MCU is good but it didn't come from nowhere.
They have plenty to hang their hat on and the much better MCU movies owe them a debt. They did set the stage and deserve credit for that.
None of that excuses their awful continuity. In fact, the horrid planning, forced cameos, inexplicable continuity are exactly what the MCU learned to avoid. Fox never did and their early momentum was slowly strangled by their incompetence.
More like dragged through. Like the final four season of most long running tv shows.
Hypotheticals. This isn't the first franchise to have behind-the-scenes troubles. It is the one that whines the most about it though.if Singer hadn't left for SR it would have been handled even better.
Feige has worked on almost every single Marvel movie since 2000. The most he learned from X-Men seem to be what not to do.And remember, Kevin Feige was also the producer of X-Men for a while, without the experience and lesson he had learned from these movies, there would be no MCU.

This is like giving your crappy fouth grade teacher credit when you become an astronaut.
It's already been nearly 20 years, even MCU has only been 11 years. If it was that bad it wouldn't last that long. It's not TV shows, it's movies, the box office and reviews are harsh enough to kill off bad franchises within 3-5 years.
Just saying it would be better since most of the problem came after he left. Starting from X-3.Hypotheticals. This isn't the first franchise to have behind-the-scenes troubles. It is the one that whines the most about it though.
Not really, X-Men got quite a few good movies and was able to go through without hard reboot, that's worthy to give credit to.Feige has worked on almost every single Marvel movie since 2000. The most he learned from X-Men seem to be what not to do.

Like or not, it's been there for 20 years, and its original material never ever cared about continuity, it's not like they turned gold into turd.
Not really, both MARVEL and DC NEVER care about retcon and consistency at all. Look at any of their issue throughout 20 years pretty much everything has been changed back and forth. As movie materials most of them(beside a few characters and plot) are just meh.
I don't think it's fair to be too harsh on a 19 years old movie franchise over consistency when its original material never cares about it.
