X-MEN Apocalypse (Official Thread)

Whats funny is DOFP was overrated trash.

I keep seeing people praise that flick when it literally had one dope scene. Maybe two. Most overrated comic book movie I think there is.

Reading thru this now, but any critic championing mystique needing to be the star of the show simply due to j law's fame - and characters such as mystique and apocalypse not being in makeup so we can see the actors is

That and the comment about wishing that Oscar Issac wasn't in makeup had me

'X-Men: Apocalypse' Review: Bryan Singer Discovers a New Mutant Power: Monotony

Where “Apocalypse” falls apart is with its titular villain: He’s generically evil, setting out essentially to destroy everyone and everything on the planet, a plan that’s not only difficult to take seriously but also gives screenwriter Simon Kinberg (“Fantastic Four”) no metaphorical meat. Previous “X-Men” installments used the mutants and their struggles to comment on everything from the civil rights movement to coming-out in the LGBT community, but all we can take from this film is standard-issue superhero battles.

Those skirmishes are perfectly fine, granted, but they don’t amount to much since the bad guy is such a blank and since we never feel that Apocalypse is going to succeed; you’ll find more genuine stakes in “The Angry Birds Movie.”

Spoiler

Even the film’s action centerpiece — Quicksilver rescuing everyone from an exploding building in cheeky slo-mo — feels like an exact copy of a better sequence from “Days of Future Past.”

[Hi!]

Should've got rid of Singer and let Vaughn do work, oh well

Don't tell some of the brehs on here that

Because according to them, FC was all Singers work and vision, but Vaughn got all the credit

So the Quicksilver scene they spent like 6 months to shoot is trash

Fox is gonna bodied Singer like Trank in a couple of weeks when Alice In Wonderland beats it opening weekend

 

[Dillah810]

Well, still seeing it in theaters, but maybe not 1st day.

Sooo, the reviews on this seem pretty divisive

Breh any review that talks about fun is getting thrown to the bushes. At this point these critics want every comic book movie to follow the MCU formula

Spoiler

The X-Men get their costumes (the white/blue suits from the trailer) at the end of the movie

Easily the worst "team" X-MEN movie ever made. Makes X-MEN: THE LAST STAND look like X-MEN: FIRST CLASS.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.0/10




edit: at the reviewer having the face
