He really didn't have a choice. Brett Ratner did so much damage with X-3, and then there was Wolverine Origins, which made even more of a mess of things. First Class was done very well, and brought revived people's interest in the franchise at a time they thought it was doomed. It just made sense for Singer to clean up the confusing movie universe with the revitalized fan base.

As for XM:A, I think it looks amazing thus far. A lot of my friends have been bashing it, basically saying that they should have went with an all CG Apocalypse, and while that would have worked well in the MCU, I don't think it would have come off as well in Fox's XMCU, which has a different look and organic and more human feel to it. I keep mentioning to them that there is still work that will be done to Apocalypse post production (as evidenced by the trailer, which never gives you a clear shot of his face, as well as the movie poster, which makes him look much more ominous and sinister) and that they should hold of reservations on it until then. As an Apocalypse fan from his first appearance in X-Factor, I'm eager to finally see this guy on the big screen.



On a side note...if you would have told me that the best two trailers for upcoming comic films was going to be TMNT2 and XM:A, and that Civil War and BvS would be underwhelming or flat out disappointing, I would have laughed at you. Yet, here I am eating crow...
