Shorty Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Apocalypse looks kinda like he fell out of Stargate in the 90s... but otherwise looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Coming from a massive X-Men fan, I honestly think this looks awful and very cheap. Every time a new trailer hits my hype decreases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I think it looks good; like a live-action Saturday morning cartoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) Yeah I do like the colour and 'cartooniness' of it. I do however think Apocalypse looks absolutely awful... especially given how he looks in the comics. And like Independence Day, they've pushed the CGI to a point where it just looks blatant and far too busy. Excited to see new Cyclops and Jean! Thank god we get a redemption to their awful endings last trilogy round. Question though, when was Psylocke a big deal? I don't remember her from the 90's cartoons (really my only X-Men knowledge apart from the modern films), and yet she's big enough to be one of the four horsemen here?

Psylocke drops in and out of the X-Men from time to time (she's another one who has died a few times and switched bodies) but she's a fairly big member of the team. EDIT: Also she was in the 90s cartoon at some point, I just cant remember when or why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zechs Merquise Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Well, I don't think Apocalypse looks that bad. Thank heavens he doesn't look much worse, this is 20th Century Fox - remember what they did to Galactus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Question though, when was Psylocke a big deal? I don't remember her from the 90's cartoons (really my only X-Men knowledge apart from the modern films), and yet she's big enough to be one of the four horsemen here? She was a tank in the comics back in the late 90s. In that comic she got the hell beaten out of her by Sabertooth, to the point where she was on deaths door. The following story line ( Crimson Dawn, where they saved her life ) turned her her into an absolute beast, where her powers evolved to the point where she could jump in and out of shadows. EDIT: Also she was in the 90s cartoon at some point, I just cant remember when or why I think that was part of that 5 part storyline where Apocalypse was kidnapping all the psychic mutants.

Daft Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Probably because that was genuinely a bad trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julius Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 The trailer...was genuinely a little bit better. I was going to see it anyway, but I was getting X-Men 3 vibes before. Not so much now. Glad Wolverine is finally confirmed for this film, as is Magneto being Quicksilver's father in this universe. Hopefully they don't show too much in upcoming TV spots.

Retro_Link Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Finding it so hard to not see Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss in this film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Speaking of. I assume this is based on some run. Did Mystique play such a big role or are they hitching their apple wagon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 As expected, the reviews are coming out and the movie looks to be average at best. Also, apparently the Jubilee scene has been completely cut and Psylocke is a wasted character with only a few lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Completely forgot Jubilee was supposed to be in this. Outside of her initial reveal we've seen nothing. Presumably they might hold her back now for the 90's movie, when hopefully they'll go all TV series on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Just here to say... WHAT a great movie! Hands down the best super hero movie I've seen this year and in recent memory. All characters were pretty much on point and every scene always had something interesting (BatmanSuperman can learn something here). Apocalypse was portrayed excellently. Magneto's pain was powerful. I was fully engaged throughout 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I saw it last night and really enjoyed it. It has a few flaws like Overlooking thousands/millions of deaths but the action was enjoyable and the characters were fun to watch (if kind of lacking emotion for the most part).

Happenstance Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 I thought the movie was alright but not brilliant. For me there are certainly better X-Men movies though. I thought it all felt a bit rushed. Apocalypse could have been Fox's Thanos with a good build up. Jean going Phoenix needed way more build up as well. X3 may have been terrible but it at least had the end of X2. Also I know Days of Future Past lets them change certain aspects of the X-Men timeline but it still makes no sense to me how that event somehow allowed characters to be born decades earlier than they were meant to be :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Gibbs Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Well i loved it, i thought it was a great movie, certainly better than some others in the series Continuity wise i don't know how it all works at all, some events seem to coincide with the potential futures others contradict it, its best to take a sort of timey wimey wibbly wobbly view of it that it doesn't make sense and just assume its all rebooted and certain things are bound to happen in some way and then think no more about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Saw it. Loved it. Best bit was Nightcrawler trying to count to three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Saw this on the weekend. I really enjoyed it. As for continuity...whatever. And Magneto getting away with directly killing...a lot of people. And then just having a friendly chat with Xavier at the end...I'm just going to ignore that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
