Big s Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I liked the dark blue and yellow school uniforms of the other recent films. The new ones look a little cosplayish to me. Maybe after watching the full movie the new outfits will grow on me, deadpool had a great comic outfit right down to the eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areaseven Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) Ouch! "A good time, no alcohol required." "A-" "3.75 and 3.5 out of 5 Schmoes" "Best Movie Ever" "B" Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 57% - "Overloaded action and a cliched villain take the focus away from otherwise strong performers and resonant themes, making X-Men: Apocalypse a middling chapter of the venerable superhero franchise."

Golden Arms Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Not surprised that the reviews are tearing it a new one. I just hope it isn't as bad as they claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, we only have ourselves to trust for this film. I'm kinda on the fence with Stuckmann's review because either he understands something that the critics don't or he was reviewing it as a fanboy.

sh9000 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I don't rely on reviews for any movie and my wife and I will still watch this in 2 weeks. The next X-Men movie will be set in the '90s. http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/684693-simon-kinberg-confirms-the-next-x-men-movie-will-be-set-in-the-90s#/slide/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, they'll probably have Mister Sinister as the main villain and use the Inferno story arc from the late '80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I heard him say he was really trying to find flaws in TFA and that he couldn't is when I wrote him off as a critic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I would've written him off as a critic when he placed Signs on his list of all-time favorites, but many of his other reviews tend to be very useful and informative.

Duke Togo Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 The rumblings about how poor this movie was started a few weeks ago. You have to remember, a lot of these reviewers are fans. People can't say critics don't understand comic books or they just aren't into them when they've already heaped tons of praise upon Deadpool and Civil War this year. More likely than not, this movie stinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 It's at 59 percent on rotten tomatoes which is still above my pay to see it ranking, so I'm still gonna check it out. Unlike bvs I'm already invested in these films, with dc films I didn't like man of steel and bvs was far below my pay to see it ranking so I don't feel I missed anything on the screen side. With these xmen films having interconnecting storylines I feel I might miss something skipping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti88 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Booyah! Jim Lee inspired Cyclops. Yums! It would also be cool if they re-showed iconic scenes from the comic book ala zack synder. Some maynot like it but i enjoyed the comic scene references in BVS nevertheless.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti88 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Glad i read abt the critics not liking this show, cos i was pleasantly surprised to enjoy this Xmen outing! It felt like a proper xmen adventure arc from the comics, and along the way discovering the surprises of each character. As a comic reader of yore, i felt this round of xmen stayed truer to the spirit of the xmen team than X2/3 or even to a certain extent DOFP. Helped by the fact that cyclops and jean were working together like the early days of xmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Arms Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 A lot of the reviewers that I trust are saying it's not a great film, but I plan to see it nonetheless. I'm a ginormous X-men fan and have seen all the others at the Cinema and plan to do so with this one as well. Going forward, I would like to see another director craft their vision of the franchise starting with the new students( Jean, Scott, Nightcrawler, etc). I think bringing new life into a franchise isn't a bad thing as what the Russo bros were able to do with all of the toys left behind by Joss Whedon. Just my .02 before seeing this film in theater.
