After X-men 3 and Wolerine, I just don't have any faith left FOX will make even a decent X-men movie.

Even if Marvel does get the rights back, there's no way of guaranteeing that those characters will show up in a sequel, reboot or even a soft reboot. And you have to keep in mind that studios must make these movies accessible to the widest possible audience. If they only catered to fanboys, I don't think any comic-based film would be as successful.

How would you measure something like that? Even XMO:W could be technically considered 50% comic accurate, depending on how you do it.

Personally, I thought both TF movies were enjoyable. Of course, both had cringe-inducing moments that I would've left out, but I still had fun watching them. X1 and X2 I thought were great and X3 could have been alright if they had stuck to one plot instead of trying to cram at least four into one film.

I'd have to agree with you on Wolverine, except for the story part. I think it was utter crap, especially when there are so many things that fly in the face of the established movie continuity without any explanation given for it (or was a poor excuse for one). And don't get me started on that Baraka rip-off at the end.

As far as Singer being the bomb.... ummmm.... didja see his Superman film? Other than Kevin Spacey's Luthor, that movie was CRAP. It exists merely to highlight the size of Brandon Routh's package. Routh is a enjoyable actor in all the other films I've seen him in (including Zack and Miri, etc)... He just was cast by a horny gay director, and given a crappy role.

Singer's sexual preferences aside, I didn't care for Superman Returns because of the way Luthor was written. Turning the Earth into a new Krypton? Why? What's his motivation? In the earlier films, he was about real estate and world domination. I just didn't get it.

Oh, yeah, and there was that whole "Lois had a kid while you were gone" bit.
