This is FoX-men ... there is no guarantee of comic accurate form fitting silver costume.

Well, she is an alien, they'll at least give her some alien-looking clothing. And hell, I always liked the Shi'ar so I'm willing to give this a shot. Unless it's super-bad, I'll give it the benefit of doubt.

This is true but one can hope. :D
 
It deeply saddens me when I think about what this franchise could've, should've and would've been.

I haven't even fully gotten through Apocalypse.

I did love these movies when they first came out and laid the groundwork for all we have today, but the MCU has diminished their worth considerably.

Part of me wants to do an X-marathon including Wolvie flicks to revisit it all again, and the other part of me says "that's a whole lotta time you'll never get back".

10 years ago I would've been doing backflips over the news of a Phoenix movie, and today I can hardly care. Damn shame

I actually find the ending fight the best part of the film, but that's not saying it can hold a candle to X1-2. But that's just me.

The teens were interesting, but the film is such schlock, bogged down with such weird decisions and plot devices to move the plot along.

It didn't seem bad, I just kept throwing it on late night and fell asleep watching it. But that said, if I wasn't so disappointed with how the saga played out, I would've saw Apocalypse multiple times in the theaters as I do with all movies I like. I didn't even check it out once. And this is coming from the only person on the planet who likes/liked X-3 :lol

Apoc has numerous issues... COULD have been good. Oscar I thought was good, I just hate what a midget he was and they had to stick him in Pacino shoes to stand next to Fass :lol

X3 as bad as it was, it's watchable... with some people anyway :lol I've seen it more times than I would like to admit as much as I've **** on it.

hahahaha yeh you are probably right about that.

As Snake said the end fight is actually quite cool and worth a watch. It adds something new that hasn't been shown before in a CBM (physical and psychic battle occurring simultaneously). Shame the movie is a bit of slog to get to that point though.

I also really liked how DoFP ended and wasn't particularly thrilled with anything that Apocalypse added. For that reason "my canon" is X-men, X2, First Class, DOFP and Logan. All others can be ignored as alternate timelines.

I should of been clearer... the end fight with Apoc, not his cronies. That part I liked. The Horsemen were meh.
 
Fass was wasted in it, again. They give him the same **** to work with every film. His character never changes.

FC he was excellent, DOFP more or the same but forced... in Apoc, he's back to hating humans after those guys read the script and it said "kill his family."
 
Smart man.

Haha ... if you've seen Captain America first avenger and Thor then you've basically seen it.

I downloaded an HD Rip,and I closed it 40 minutes in. I might do a speed-run. Same with Homecoming (mostly the Keaton scenes interest me). GotG 2 I do want to see though. I love me some Russel, and he added a level of Meta to the role.
 
I really really hated the magneto storyline. I aleays skip all of it.
It was such an idiotic waste of time.

The storm scene was really cool. The beginning part in ancient egypt was my favorite part. I loved those scenes, i wish it was longer.

The way Apoc was awaken with the cia lady was super idiotic as well. Olivia munn was probably the worst part of it. I truly hated her.

The slow motion scene was amazing.
 
I still contend that that movie could be really good if it were better edited. Some of the acting and drama was great. But it fell victim to the perceived need to do way too much with films that plagued Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Age of Ultron. Things needed to be drastically simplified--less characters, fewer unexplored and illogical motivations, less incoherence. Magneto story needed to be more logically developed, less Mystique, lose the forced Logan cameo and fact that it essentially made the teen X-Men accomplices to murder without exploring the ramifications. Slow down Jean's development into Dark Phoenix. Movie actually needed more exposition regarding Apoc's powers and motivations. Avoid the desire to shove characters in just because. Angel was criminally mishandled. If they could edit out Psylocke completely that wouldn't be a bad thing. Movie did go on too long.
