X-Men: Apocalypse - May 27, 2016

[karamazov80]

Well, looks like a better bad guy than Ultron...

No witty one liners

And it's cool because there was no villain in DOFP.

 

[RIDDICK]

I do love the size shifting and hope that they also include his ability to manifest weapons as well.

Well, size shifting Apoc was most likely just part of the fantasy fight over Xavier's mind.

Trailer looks pretty good, but i swear Singer really Does a terrible job at the costumes. Now all the X-men look to be wearing plastic armor over bodysuits, of course in black and gray. At least Apocalypse looks better and Magneto and Psylocke are good. Did like the shots of Storm and Archangel. But seriously they make some of the worst decisions on art direction.

 

[Biojex]

Apoc looks killer! I do wish his voice had a little more reverb or boom to it.



Was there not a single shot of Mystique in the trailer? (Just J-law)

 

[greygoose]

Good trailer, should be a good end to the trilogy!

 

[YoNoSe]

I still love Nightcrawler's X2 costume. Not for a comic translation, just for the movie character. I've never been too keen on X comic costumes anyway. Wasn't long ago Beast was wearing some kind of corset.

I've come to really like his design... wish he was a taller actor, but I'll get over it. He would sound better with a deeper pitched voice that commanded authority.

Good trailer, should be a good end to the trilogy!

The end to J-Law

 

[EVILFACE]

Looks Decent.

 

[Ultron-7]

So Ronan got a new gig and look.

Looks decent, just didn't have anything special. Felt kinda generic like all superhero movies are getting. Hell, TMNT2 trailer gave me a bigger buzz than this and that's clearly gonna be a garbage movie.

Felt kinda generic like all superhero movies are getting.

I think that's a fair comment. There is a kind of formula that they tend to follow. But it still looks way more interesting than the Marvel Studios stuff, anyway.

 

[Uncle Bingo]

Bryan Singer's X-Men films are my favorite Marvel movies to date, so for me this trailer looked even more awesome than the Civil War trailer.

To me: X:A>CW>BvS

 

[third3ye]

New trailer looks good, nice to see Fox getting better consistency with the franchise starting with FC. I'm hoping the threequel has better action than DOFP, always felt that was DOFP's weakest area. So far the action in the trailer doesn't disappoint. Also confirms that Apocalypse does go giant mode in this film

 

[jye4ever]

As far as trailers go :

CW > BvS > XA

That middle one better be Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

 

[meanstreak]

trailer looks good, apocalypse looks better than the ew photos and oscar isaac is going to kill it.

Don't know why they put those pics out with a purple filter...

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Looks good. I think the Singer/X-Men combo is gold all around. I love what he does with the characters and how they all relate to each other.

I did find the scenes where it's pretty much just a character against a stormy background (there's a shot of Angel, Mags, Apoc and Storm (although there's some ground when she lands) all simply against a stormy sky) to look weird and maybe a bit cheap, like emphasizing the green-screeniness of it all.

I agree the bald reveal at the end was like, "so?"

 

[Entropy]

Also confirms that Apocalypse does go giant mode in this film

As Xavier can walk and is in hand to hand combat punching Apocalypse, looks like giant mode only takes place in X's mind and not IRL. Maybe that mind fight is how he loses his hair?

 

[Jack D]

As far as trailers go :

CW > BvS > XA

Pretty much. X-Men were one of my favorite properties as a kid but I just can't get excited about the movies. The 90s X-Men cartoon is still the best.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

He's an awesome actor and will play the role perfectly.
I just don't like that his voice is so human despite him looking like a cybergod.


Yep.
Just like DOFP, it'll reference period stuff in one or two small scenes and that's it.

Pretty much.
Star power must carry these films to box office success, even if it's bad for the film itself.

That's a little better than I expected. Still, they didn't show Apocalypse face too much, must be because of all the criticism? His voice isn't bad, but it won't be very memorable either.

The scene where Apoc grows in size probably takes place in Professor X's mind...and that sucks. It's probably more of a mental battle than an actual fist fight. His wig looks terrible though.
