I'm a fan of all things X-Men. I've read many books on different ways they have been portrayed; it's the same with movies and cartoons.

With that being said, I actually enjoyed the flick for what it was. Of course it's not without its flaws, which I'm sure have been pointed out.

I'm a huge Apocalypse fan. I've read a lot of his stuff. I had no problem with how he was portrayed here. There were some issues, but it would be just being picky.

The gathering of the 4 was done well. No problem with who they used and the way they were brought in.

This movie felt like a love letter to all things X-Men if you look deep:

- The Weapon X scene was :wow:

-A tribute to Jean Grey becoming Phoenix.

-The tease of how this world could have become the Age of Apocalypse. :banderas:

8/10

Finally saw this film. It was trash.

Just reboot the whole fukking thing please.

-The timeline is fukking stupid. I can't follow this shyt at all
- The emphasis on Mystique is irritating
- Apocalypse was not that impressive
- Inclusion of Phoenix story was poorly done

I could go on for days

It's an opinion. :ld:

What issues are there? Only argument I can see happening is my views on Apocalypse and the gathering of the 4. Maybe the Jean Grey/Phoenix thing.
How bout Mystique being the Malcolm X of all mutants who stays in caucasion woman mode as opposed to her natural mutant self the whole movie?:nosasmj:

Never said I was a huge fan. And I'm familiar with what the X-Men represent, but I'm not digging deep when I watch a movie. :mjlol:

Its entertainment, not a political science course.

That shyt is lame AF. Like that's the epitome of a stan; hating on shyt just because. :camby:

I didn't have any expectations going in. I didn't care for Apocalypse's look when they revealed it and the trailers didn't really move me. But I ended up enjoying it despite the many :dwillhuh: things about it.

Me and my girl just watched this. She loved the movie. I thought it was a perfect 7/10 kinda movie. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great. I told my girl if you knew anything about comics or the characters you would rate it lower because of creative liberty used and wasted potential.
