Still looks really good to me. The only thing I don't like is ****ing Coldplay or whoever doing the song there. It takes place in the damn '80s! If you want a sad, meloncholy type song, go with something from Echo and the Bunnymen, Throwing Muses, or the Cure, or maybe even the beginning of Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight."

On the other hand, Batman V. Superman will have no dramatic depth whatsoever, and people will walk out of the theater feeling dirty and a bit sick at their stomach. Pros and cons, you know.

So you want Donnie Darko music?

I'm good with that! :lol

I'm excited to see this. New trailer looked pretty good.

Nope. The less CGI the better and modern Singer is all about cheap looking CGI backgrounds.
Also, most of Singer's action is unimaginative. I'll only give him the benefit of a doubt with Quicksilver.

You know, I really liked FIRST CLASS a lot and it's kind of a bummer where this series went after that after Singer took it over again. I mean, DoFP was pretty good, but I wanted at least 1 more movie like FIRST CLASS.

The biggest bummer of all was that they canceled the MAGNETO ORIGINS movie. I absolutely would watch 2 hours of Fassbender Magneto hunting down Nazi war criminals ala 007. That scene in FIRST CLASS is probably the best scene from any X-Men film.

Quicksilver and the opening Nightcrawler White House sequence from X2.

And the use of Blink's abilities. That was pretty great too.

I'll take every action scene in X2 over anything in First Class with the exception of Frankenstein's Monster scene, but the music score is what made that scene so great, not the action.

I agree with that. I like X2 as a film more, but I'm not knocking FC. FC is still the best of the prequels and still better than anything after X2.

It's not all about the action to me. If fact, that's not really important at all. Like I said, my favorite scene from ANY of these movies is Magneto tracking down the Nazi war criminal, and there's hardly any action in that sequence at all.

Honestly I would have loved to see Matthew Vaughn do one more. That guy has such a fresh approach. Kingsman was terrific. But one thing about the X-Men franchise is that, after suffering through X3 and Wolverine: Origins, Singer is SO much better that I personally just feel grateful that he's staying on board. Though any movie version of a comic book is going to take liberties here and there, he understands the essence of the source material and does the team justice, and makes great films in the process (as far as comic book movies go).

No wonder I keep forgetting about this. Bigger doesn't always mean better.

greygoose · Mar 17, 2016

It still looks good. You can probably blame the trailer editing team for it coming over like an action movie. I'm hopeful the final movie will be alot more fleshed out.
