Bryan SInger to direct a Galactica film -- good news or bad?

It's been announced that Bryan Singer will direct a film based on the recent Battlestar Galactica TV series on SyFy. But is that good news or bad news?

Singer did a fantastic job on both "X-Men" and especially "X-Men 2" (the BEST superhero film ever made) but then he totally screwed up on his chick-flick soap opera "Superman Returns". So will we get the intensity and excitement of the X-Men films or merely hours of people staring longingly at each other like we were forced to suffer in Superman?

At this point, it could go either way. Hopefully, if the creators of the BG series are in charge, it will be the former.

Another possible horrifying report is that the film MAY be based on the original cheesy series from the 70s and NOT SyFys recent "re-imagining". God he'p us all if that's true!
