Usually when news leaks about a someones private life it doesn't affect my decision to see a movie but those allegations plus all the stories & photos over the years are quite worrying.
He's not a bad director but I wish they'd gotten someone else.

I think he's a good director and he'll do a great job in X-Men: Apocalypse 
When it comes to those allegations, it's a quite personal thing, which we don't even know if it's true. We shouldn't judge him as a director because of that. On the other hand, I really hope those things are false.

Guys, I watched Frank yesterday!!! Michael is AMAZING. When you think he couldn't do better than 12 Years or Shame, here comes again and surprised you. The man steals the scene. We can't see his face but the way he speaks and moves his body is stunning. And in my opinion, he shows in this film that he is a natural singer too. His voice is very beautiful and he really has presence on stage.
WOW! He really deserved awards for Frank
WOW! He really deserved awards for Frank
I watched Frank too and I loved it. The cast was great, esp Maggie and Dom. However Michael was, yes, amazing. I don't even have words to describe so I'm not gonna even try. With a mask on eh stands out, by yes his voice and his movements. The music was great and surprisingly I'd buy the album (along with the album for Guardians of Galaxy). Michael's singing is pretty good even though I have to remind myself that he most likely is supposed to sing like the RL Frank. I've heard him sing before and he does sound good. What I notice too is 1. Michael speaking a different language is the sexiest thing EVER (no joke) and 2. Him playing an instrument, esp that guitar, was so damn good. I found myself watching his hands LOL. I'm amazed by his acting. With SOME actors, I don't know if its because they've been acting for years, like 10 or more years, they are so seamless. Meaning, its a routine to them. They don't put much effort into their craft. With Michael its different. Maybe it has to do with the fact that he's struggled for so long and he takes his work so seriously, he gives 1000% and then some. More and more people are starting to take notice. Why would Daniel Ratcliff say "what would Michael do"? or Theo James saying he admires Michael. They could have picked anyone yet Michael stoods out for them. That says a lot about the manGuys, I watched Frank yesterday!!! Michael is AMAZING. When you think he couldn't do better than 12 Years or Shame, here comes again and surprised you.

Oh yes, Maggie and Gleeson were amazing too
I was surprised by the soundtrack too. When I first heard it, I didn't like it because it was too different, too experimental. But in the film I LOVED their songs hahaha and Frank on stage is simply mesmerizing...Michael could play on a tour as him, I'd buy a ticket at any price!
And I agree with you. What makes Michael such a powerful and unique actor is that he always surprised you on screen. It's like he gives to each character he plays a new approach, a new vibe...he can change his voice, his looks, the way he moves his body is different too...it's amazing. He totally impressed me in this film, it's like he's getting better in every single movie!
And this is gold because most actors can't do that. It doesn't mean they're bad but they're just common, just actors between millions that already exist. Michael NO, he's something special, he gives you something different all the time. There are only a few who can do that on his generation. It's not a surprise for me to read that young actors like Daniel and Theo see him as an example. And Michael is not even 40!
I can't hardly wait to see his Macbeth. This role is his Oscar

Usually I might agree with you but there have been pictures over the years of his "parties" and pictures of his "assistants", even if it's all legal there's something a little off about that. There have also been stories over the years (before the allegations surfaced) he uses movies like X-men and superman to lure desperate young men/boys in Hollywood... that's the thing that makes me uncomfortable about him directing a movie like this.
Although in the end it doesn't really matter that much to me because I'm not the biggest X-men fan, I like the cast but the movies are not really my thing any more.
Just giving my two cents don't expect anyone to agree
Singer is as dodgy as hell. He's not getting a free pass from me because he has talent as a director. Same boat as Polanski and Allen.
It will be interesting what comes out of any trial..its much wider than Singer. I love the X-Men films and MF is brilliant in them.

Yeah, it's complicated seeing in this way. But when it comes to powerful people, even if these allegations are true, they usually find a way out to pay the victims or bribe the judge to get rid of it. I remember that Casey Affleck was being sued for sexual harassment in 2010 but nothing happened to him. The same will happen to Singer (if it's true!). For those who have money justice almost always work on their behalf.
But I think he's a great director and his X-Men's films are awesome

Can Michael get an Oscar nod for Frank? Anything is possible. After all how many actors have gotten nods for gaining/losing weight for a movie? Who says Michael cant for wearing a maskI watched Frank too and I loved it.

I enjoy watching XMen movies and I think Bryan has done an amazing job directing
However this is how I see things, on his side IF the allegations are true and he did pay off the accuser, what does that say about him? On the other hand, if the accuser accepts such payment what does that say about him? How much did he really want Bryan to pay for doing what he did? If he really wanted justice to be served he would have said no to the payoff. That's just my opinion
About Frank, I don't think he has chances at the Oscars because the competition this year is TOUGH. Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, Joaquin Phoenix, Beneditct Cumberbatch, Steve Carell, Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz...hard! But I think that at the Golden Globes and other events that have special categories for genres he might get a nomination. And at independent awards too. Since Frank is British, Michael will probably be nominated to the BAFTAs and Irish awards.
When it comes to Singer, I agree with you. He would be wrong by giving money and the person would be wrong by accepting it. But unfortunately money does buy a lot of people, specially when some of them needs it a lot. In the case of him, this would destroy his career so if it's true indeed, his lawyers probably did everything to avoid it going to the press and settled things out in private with the victim.

If Michael gets an Oscar nod for Frank, I will eat my Nike Air Max! The film is too tiny and too quirky. They probably won't even bother with a campaign. This year will be very obvious choices. Cumberbatch, Pitt, Affleck, Keaton. I haven't even seen any of their films, but the buzz is there.
^Oops: bhb2014, it seems we have a twin post.

hahahahahaha I agree. Besides strong competition with films which are being released in the end of the year specially for the Oscars, Frank is too small and different for the Academy nominate Michael for his performance.
I really think he has chances on independent awards and British and Irish ones since the film is a co-production between UK and Ireland
Ok, I LOVED this. His best gifs!
