If you find yourself dealing with an unexpected backstory, and a preponderance of exposition, then you are dealing with the concluding chapter of a trilogy. True trilogies are all about going back ...
it's dumb that everyones going for trilogies. why not just keep making good movies!? make 5 good x-men movies. let the stories breaatthhe.
Before you suggest making 5 movies on the same storyline, may I point out Episode 2 for you?
you're referring to the star war flick? attack of the clones? i can't say i dug the last three star wars flicks. i'm sad the x-men franchise is about to crap the bed and die. brett ratner is me...
No it was much worse. I was giving an example of a series where the fifth movie was absolutely horrible. (Well, the fifth made movie anyway, Episode 5 is awesome, probably the best of them all.)
