Singer might have just broken the X-men franchise if these rumors are to be believed.*Potential SPL*

I've counted at least four reviews that either say even Last Stand was better or it makes Last Stand look like First Class/X2.

Supposedly Psylocke and Storm have virtually no lines and even less screen time than Magneto's filler new family.

Over-abuse of CGI that reminded people of Ang Lee's Hulk.

Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy have both been said to have "phoned it in."

Oscar Isaac's Apocalypse is unintimidating mostly due to writing.

Just to name a few things.

How do you not write lines for two of the most important women of color in comic books

Been saying since the first trailer that something seemed off about it. And I really liked First Class ans DOFP.

I'll still see it though.

I wouldn't give these people none of our dollars. Pirate breh.

The chick they got playing storm CANNOT act, so that might actually be a win

 

[The Villain]

I mean you got Oscar Isaac playing Apocalypse. You gotta try really hard to fukk that up. Apocalypse bars + Isaac acting ability is a writers dream.

 

[Neil Tyson]

Michael Fassbender phoned it in. One my favorite cac actors too

 

[BXKingPin82]

its funny, cause I was curious as to whether or not Oliva Munn could pull off a British accent

guess I got my answer

 

[Ain't That Something]

Reviews are out already

 

[Kaydigi]

Trailers look suspect as fukk.

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Where are the reviews?

 

[Brandeezy]

Psylocke and Storm have no lines because the actors portraying them aren't that good at acting.

I always thought they were miscasted

 

[loyola llothta]

x-men got the best actors when come to CBM but they love fuking up Storm

 

[Ziggiy]

Not too surprised considering the MAJOR UNDERWHELMING trailers that have been released. That plus the head-scratchingly bad actors they've cast (Olivia Munn? Are you fukking KIDDING me!!??!)

And this is coming from someone who genuinely enjoyed First Class and Days Of Future Past, but it looks like everybody's favorite pedo director has finally run outta juice...

And I've read about 4 reviews so far and they all say the same thing, the story is formulaic and basically a rehash of the previous two movies. Charles preaches earnestly to Erik, who doesn't listen. Mystique's loyalties are caught in between them. Mutants fight each other. Rinse wash repeat.

They even say the Action sequences (except for another stand out scene with Quicksilver) are lackluster. Complaints of psylocke's outfit being sexist, complaints that the 4 Horsemen are underused, and that the ensemble is too bloated and certain characters are severely underutilized or just there for fan service (Wolverine)


The highlights seem to be the new trio of actors who play Cyclops, Jean, and Nightcrawler, are very good. And that Quicksilver is a delight during his short amount of screen time.



Definitely won't be seeing this in theaters, I'll wait for it to hit iTunes. I'd rather see Civil War again anyway

 

[Triggamatic]

Just remembering how Singer did Bishop fukk him

 

[Ziggiy]

"There is a scene in the 80’s set X-Men: Apocalypse where a young Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) and Scott Summers (Tye Sheridan) exit a showing of Return of the Jedi and argue the merits of the various Star Wars films. The participants discuss “EmpireStrikes Back was better” versus “Star Wars started it all” before coming to a consensus that the third films always stink. It’s intended as a jab at X-Men: The Last Stand, but it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Bryan Singer’s would-be trilogy capper is a shocking miss. It is a lifeless and hollow shell of a picture, lacking exciting action, strong character interplay, or compelling storytelling. It is the nadir of the franchise, determined to make you apologize for every mean thing you’ve ever said about Brett Ratner’s rushed X-Men trilogy capper a decade ago. X-Men: The Last Stand is X2: X-Men United compared to X-Men"
