Between that and the weather girls, this might just be the best thread derailment ever.

Man, I am finding it hard to be very excited about this movie. I am sure that Isaac will be enjoyable, along with Fassneto. Jlaw just ruins whatever excitement I can muster for this though. So bland.

I thought the new trailer was great. I'm looking forward to this much more than Civil War.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

My only hope for this is I didn't really think the trailers for first class or DoFP were all that either

Someone should make a video of every voice change Apocalypse has gone through.

Gosh that CGI looks pretty awful.

Man, it really does.

>The disintegrating automobile clouds look like the nanobot swarm from Keanu's Day The Earth Stood Still from eight years ago.

>"This world will fall, and we'll create a new one etc." -- we heard that speech last year in Avengers: Ultron.

>The dialogue in the trailer consists of cheesy cliches and regurgitated catchphrases from the last eight films.

>Looks like the entire film was shot on a greenscreen stage. The 100% digital backgrounds look 100% fake.

Audiences have become attuned to CGI environments from years of video games.
And it's all become an unconvincing Battle of The Five Armies spectacle.
The gravity and physics of the Psylocke-slicing-the-car-shot are pure video game verisimilitude--so heavily (and obviously) tweaked and animated in post that it kills suspension of disbelief.

This franchise seems to leap from one comicbook storyline to another with no connective tissue or continuity.

X2 had God Loves, Man Kills with a dash of Dark Phoenix.
X3 fused sorta-Dark Phoenix with a Gifted three-coil steaming dogturd.
Days Of Future Past was barely adapted for the last film.
And now we have the main villain from X-Factor.


I lost the thread of these whacked timelines about three movies ago.
Right around Wolverine:Origins this happened:

Maybe a coherent & compelling story will save this . . . but it's looking pretty tired.

Jlaw just ruins whatever excitement I can muster for this though. So bland.

Hunger Games, anyone? Anyone? No seriously--anyone?

Pretty tired is a GREAT description of what this film looks like..

 

[YoNoSe]

Yeah looks like the same old **** + more Lawrence. Pass.

 

[kryptonianmutie]

Uh, this might be a skip for me. I think I'll just watch the last two episodes of X-Men Evolution instead.

Trailers was pretty much the same as the first two with just a different song.

I will find it amusing if this ends up making less then Deadpool. Deadpool beats X Men would be comical. That would be like Deadpool killing part of the Marvel Universe. I thought Deadpool was great. It stands as one of my top CBM's.

 

[spindrift]

Oh Deadpool will outgross this for sure - this will have a good(not great) opening weekend and drop fast. I could be wrong but I don't see alot of interest in this like CW and SS....

 

[twistedfreak]

I get what you're saying. Everyone that I have talked to has more interest in the other CBM's that are coming out over this. None of the other CBM's have Jlaw in them. Win.

 

[pturtle]

Well considering Deadpool has made more than every other FoX-Men film to date I think it's likely Apoc won't make more than Deadpool.

Yeah for sure. How excited are you for this? You're one of the biggest FoX-Men fans on this board, if I'm not mistaken.

[karamazov80]

It really does but kara refuses to listen, can you please talk to him Irish!

He won't listen to me.

Greatest CG I've ever seen. Makes Avatar look like the Money for Nothing Dire Straits video.

 

[YoNoSe]

Money for nuthin' and twinks for free.
