Brett Ratner Offers Heated Response To X-MEN: THE LAST STAND Haters
The douchiest director in Hollywood, Brett Ratner, doesn't like that his X-Men: The Last Stand film is getting trashed on by comic book fans, and movie geeks. I admit it, I hated X-Men: The Last Stand and still feel that he ruined the franchise. To this response Ratner takes a last stand of his own, and has an issue with the idea that he killed the X-Men film franchise.
If I buried the franchise how the f--- did they make a 'Wolverine'? I mean, that's ridiculous. And they're making three other f---ing 'X-Men' movies. Mine kept the franchise alive!
Bull crap you Hollywood whore! I call shenanigans! The three films are proof you killed the X-Men franchise, you fail to realize the the films are a reboot of the franchise, which you did in fact destroy. Had you kept the "franchise alive," we would have seen a X-Men Part 4, but guess what? We didn't. Fox is now rebooting the X-Men franchise with origin stories and possibly an X-Men: First Class film, which is also a reboot. Fox NEEDS to keep making X-Men films or they will lose the property. We just all happen to notice they decided to go into a different direction of where you wanted to take the franchise. Plus, I serious doubt Fox will come to you and ask you to direct any more X-Men films. Why? Because you ruined it! Ratner continued saying:
You can't make these people happy. I'm kind of the anti-Christ to these comic book geeks. Every single person that wrote s--- went to see that movie multiple times because a movie doesn't gross [$200 something million] unless people go to see it more than once.
These people? What do you mean by "These" people? Now he's racist against movie and comic book geeks. He says you can't make these people happy? I'm sorry to burst your bubble Rat, but we were all happy with the first two X-Men films. We were happy with the last two Batman films, we were happy with Iron Man and will most likely be happy with the sequel. We were happy with the first two Spider-Man films as well, so how in the hell can you come in and say, "you can't make these people happy." We can just tell a good film from a bad film. At least Sam Raimi is man enough to come out and admit that Spider-Man 3 wasn't his best film--that he wasn't happy with it, and that it could've been better.
You still think you made a good movie? We all got in line in hopes that it would be as good as the first two films. Bryan Singer set the standard the market was already built in, and guess what? I didn't see it a second time. Then he says:
Every single person who said, 'I'm never seeing that movie,' they were the first ones there,"What are they concerned about? It's out of the filmmaker's hands. A film is a collaborative effort. How's a person sitting at home going to worry about how a movie is going to turn out to be?
We just all want to see an awesome movie with all of our favorite comic book characters, which you didn't deliver for most X-Men fans. As for the film being a collaborative effort, I understand that, but if you had better ideas than what the studio was offering then you should've fought for your vision like most great directors do. If you didn't have any good ideas and you did everything that the studio told you to do, then you're a tool that lacks imagination. Either way, the fate of the film falls on your shoulders. You have no excuses! In the end, Ratner did indeed kill the X-Men franchise that Fox had rolling. By the way, don't expect any love from the geek community for your new Youngblood movie. You've lost any hope of gaining any respect from "these people" after this little attack you made on the fanboy/fangirl community.
