X-Men: Apocalypse - May 27, 2016

I thought Tom Hanks' final scene in that movie to be a bit overrated

Nah, it was a great scene. Not mind-blowin' but still great.
The rest of the film, on the other hand... Poopoo.

I just had a change of heart, the Civil War Super Bowl spots was much much better

I think X Men will be a better film than Civil War, but CW will have better action. I always find the X Men films more interesting than the Marvel/Disney films. They also have better characters, better themes, and story...but they lack great action. As far as the bad looking cgi in the trailer, the same happened with the future scenes from DOFP. I remember people saying that the future scenes looked like Mortal Kombat Annihilation, but after all that criticism, the film was great. I'm surprised there's so much destruction in this X MEN film. Who or what is causing it?

It's an X-Men movie, all destruction will just be reversed or its a vision of the fewcha.

It won't take much for the Russo bros to construct better action than Magneto lifting another big thing.

X-Men and Cap have been cinematic rivals since 2011 and X-Men always wins, and from my understanding on most of the major rating sites the general audience rates X-Men better too, but amongst the geek community, Cap wins.

I think First Class had much better action than TFA, but The Winter Soldier had better action than DOFP, so they're pretty much a tie for me. X2 I won't count since it's before the MCU but I think that movie tends to get overlooked in the action department a lot, people forget how great the Mansion attack and Nightcrawler's introduction was.

Technically still wrong since I think it blows Talia's scene out the water, but still overrated

That scene made the rest of the film worthwhile. Absolutely criminal that he wasn't oscar nominated for that small bit alone.

But carry on.

 

[pturtle]

Eh, I don’t think he deserved a nomination at all actually. Then again outside of a few roles I don’t think Tom Hanks is really a great actor. I think he’s been in some great movies for sure though.

Yep. Some of the most realistic acting I've seen.

Captain Phillips discussion in an X-Men thread. Atleast it's a change from Star Wars being mentioned in every thread.

Saw the TV spot. Looks good. But already annoyed with J-Law's phoned in performance from the short snippets we've seen of her in these trailers.

 

[pturtle]

That's not phoned in, that's her trying

Her choke face already made this the best cbm of 2016.

 

[EVILFACE]

If she was a young boy, Singer prolly would have directed her better.

If she gets killed, best film of the year. I really can't wait until she's too old and flabby to be a female lead anymore... but that's really long from now since she's the "it" thing now.

 

[Snake Plissken]

He was too busy being in awe of Apocalypse's arm hoses.

Anybody annoyed how DOFP screwed up the timelines, so now I guess the FC characters exist in modern time now with a younger Mystique and Fassbender Magneto

So every new film is about that cast

 

[Snake Plissken]

Sure. Twenty years after FC and they pretty much look exactly the same. Although, I can ignore it since the series has had worse **** ups (X3, Origins)

But it was mentioned in one of the films that Mystique ages really slow IIRC.

XIII was just not good enough but it didn't f'up the foX-men.
DoFP was made only because producers couldn't understand WTF they're doin' with this series.

So after this trilogy has finish I'm presuming the next X-Men movies will essentially be a reboot as the story will pick up at the time of the original X-Men 2000 movie?

It basically became an unofficial conclusion to the series if you remove the final scene with Magneto and the chess board. Yes, they had no idea what the hell they were doing.

They'd be my best guess. We'll at least get Wolverine back in whatever comes after this one, probably as a new actor.

How did DOFP screw up the timeline? This movie takes place in the 80s, Wolverine 3 will take place as present time and have some of the older cast back.

Killing Cyclops like 5 minutes into the film is 90% of the reason why DOFP needed to be made. I didn’t mind Charles’ and Jean’s death though. Also bringing both start studded casts together I’m sure was one of the main reasons they wanted to make that movie, and it worked perfectly for Fox.

"First Class" was a reboot.
Then they've released "The Wolverine" which was set in the original continuity and f' it up.
Then they've released a "kinda reboot" film in the FC continuity with actors from original continuity to "make it official".

Original:
X-Men (2000) => X2 => The Last Stand => The Wolverine

FC:
First Class => Days of Future Past => Apocalypse

__

"Origins: Wolverine" is a mistake and so far we don't know where "Deadpool" fits.

First Class was originally supposed to be a reboot until Singer came back to produce and he and his team scrapped the original script rewrote their script to connect it to the original films as much as possible. Just look at the first trailer for FC, definitely not a reboot

Deadpool takes place after Apocalypse obviously, in present time. Gambit will be the same.

 

[rushmore223]

So, is the reason that many on this board dislike DOFP because it doesn't adhere closely enough to the comics?

I can understand that, but since I'm not a comic book person, I guess my way of looking at the movies is a bit different.
