HOLY SHIT
This was the comiquiest movie to ever comicmovied ever. And not in a good way.
Is this the definition of going to far? Are we already trespassing that line comic books crossed in the 60's with the expansion of comic book universes?
It was just too fucking much
I liked it, and you're really exaggerating. This coming from a guy who was expecting dogshit.
I just wished Psylocke was a good guy, and Storm didn't have the lame-ass idol worship.
>>83493617
It was underwhelming.
Just X-Men's The Dark Knight Rises, but without the memes.
>>83493910
It was incredibly overstuffed.
Every scene felt so 'important' that by the end you didn't care about nothing.
It's not dogshit, it was too much
>>83494320
This.
It's fucking Apocalypse, just make it a 2 parter.
>>83494320
It wasn't just that they were 'important'
Half the scenes were goofy as fuck because they were trying to be super serious about everything and they just came off as being silly and dumb.
I liked it, but there were so many scenes that made my whole theater laugh that were clearly not meant to be funny.
>>83494515
Exactly.
The whole intro thing was just stupid, and it took the menace out of Apocalypse really quickly.
>>83493910
>Storm suddenly changed side because her idol being choked
>>83494626
And then when he's getting resurrected it's because like 6 old Egyptian dudes are just saying his name at a statue in a basement.
>X-men in Costumes fighting Sentinels in The Danger Room
THEY WENT TOO FAR
GIVE THE RIGHTS TO MARVEL
If this had been two parts, it would have worked a lot better. The "important" scenes could be better spaced out and spend that time giving more of the other mutants and Horsemen more character scenes
>>83495062
I figured they were some stupid cult who had no idea what they were doing and probably did that ritual every week. But that because the cia women left the door open the light activated it cause its solar powered or some shit and that's why it all happened. So the entire thing was just a bad coincidence and it's her fault for destroying the world
>>83496145
Yay, they finally got something accurate.
8 movies later. In a one minute ending scene
Meanwhile, Deadpool gets everything accurate in one movie.
It did go to far with the incidental death toll.
It's impossible to have Magneto kill a continent and then go "Oh but Mutants are just people! We should give them a chance! Even Magneto can be redeemed!"
This is what happens when stakesfags get to call the shots; they blow their load and forget that you might need to be able to tell a story after that.
>>83496145
>GIVE
maybe Disney cared they would PAY for the film rights back, instead of giving the NBA 2.6 billion dollars a year for the next 10 years to show games on ESPN.
>>83496516
I can't believe people actually defend Magneto getting away with all that shit and them being on great terms at the end. Like come on, that's a failure of the movie right there
>>83496516
Didn't see the movie. Did Magneto do this under Apoc's influence or was that all him?
>>83496625
Apocalypse seems to tap into a mutant's secret longing/emotional weakness and manipulates them using that.
So...whatever you want to classify that as
>>83496625
Kind of both.
He has his family (a new family) killed and Apocalypse gets just in time to take him to the evil side.
This movie was fucking dogshit
Never seeing an x-men movie again after this
>X Men was a mistake
>>83496734
>watches the 90's one opening night
>>83496145
Every Xmen movie has basically been
>don't worry, next movie will be the real Xmen movie
>>83496625
Sort of both.
But he wasn't brainwashed or hypnotized if that's what you mean
>>83497226
>I've been waiting for the real X-men movie for 15 years
>Deadpool was the better X-Men movie without an X-Men title head
>>83497226
Basically this. If you've seen one you've seen them all. Also it took them forever to get to Sentinels and Apocalypse.
>>83493617
Well at least they got Apocalypse right (or even better than the comics), though that's not saying much.
I think we can all agree that the Wolverine scene was fucking hilarious just because it was like five minutes of Hugh Jackman growling like an animal and then bolting out a door abruptly.
>>83496145
Shitposting or not, I'm sick & god damned tired of reading this shit in every X-Men, & fuck, even DC thread. Maybe Disney should just pony up & buy the IP rights back for Marvel Studios. It's not like Fiege isn't a proven producer who's built the studio with what little they had access to. Instead of crying like sickly children throwing fits about motion picture distributors relinquishing their rights to film adaptions that Marvel themselves sold willingly, how about Disney just PAYS for the rights instead? What, Disney can't afford it? You mouseketeers always kept circle jerking over Box Office Mojo. They can cover it.
Maybe next time when you see another Marvel movie that isn't MCU, you should cry to Disney instead, because Fox is sure as fuck isn't going to relinquish the rights.
Fuck Off!
>>83496560
they've offered to in the past numbnuts.
But Sony and Fox both have retardedly high expectations for payouts which is why they never happen.
The only thing that went too far was how many twinks Singer packed into the movie.
>>83503674
seriously though Bryan "Troll's toll for a boys hole" Singer was a mistake.
First Class > DoFP, DoFP was an okay movie with one meme scene. that's it
>release movie to fix fucked up time line of series
>immediately have follow up film featuring characters who were in their mid twenties in 1963 now appearing in their late twenties in 1983
Fuck you Singer.
Also the 4 horsemen were completely useless.
OP confirmed for never having read a comic. This wasn't the slightest bit like the comics at all.
Overdone but still better than bvs.
List of deleted scenes
>Extended version of Magneto singing to his daughter Nina in Poland.
>Extended version of Magneto's family's death in which he sings to Nina once again as he craddles her corpse.
>Jubilee giving a tour through the X-Mansion to an arriving Nightcrawler.
>Professor X teaching both Cyclops and Jean to control their powers, instructing Cyclops to open his eyes and guiding Jean in telekinetically containing his optic blasts.
>Apocalypse seducing Psylocke to his side by offering her a new family and purpose to replace the ones that Humanity has taken from her in the past.
>Jean, Cyclops, Nightcrawler and Jubilee going to the mall after watching "Return of the Jedi". Nightcrawler is awed that people don't fear them and thinks that the mall is a paradise. The kids go to the food court, where Nightcrawler gets a brain freeze from his first milk-shake; to a record store, where Cyclops and Jean pick up a new album by mutant singer Dazzler; and to the arcade, where Jubilee accidentally destroys one of the machines with her powers and has to playfully evade the security guards using gymnastics.
>An emotional farewell between Cyclops and Havok.
>Longer final battle.
>Scrapped ideas including Wolverine becoming the X-Men's drill sergeant and leading them into battle against Apocalypse; and Magneto voluntarily surrendering himself to the authorities for collaborating with Apocalypse and being locked up once again.
So, if you, Anons, would be making Apocalypse as Two-Parter, how would you do it, knowing this list?
I was thinking.
In the 80s, Warsaw Pact countries were ready to attack the West, and threat of nukes was the only thing that was stopping them.
Moreover, NATO tanks were crap when compared to Warsaw Pact ones, in terms of technology.
So, given the situation, would soviets attack the west before there were enough nukes to be able to prevent that?
Or is X-Men universe turning into Red Alert one?
>>83502692
Disney can afford it.
>>83493617
It wasnt that bad of a movie, but it went too far with "lets adapt the comic books!". This is just a reminder that people should focus on making a better movie than to adapt faithfully a comic book.
Apocalypse was as one note and shallow as the comic book version. It literally read like a marvel comic.
Magneto with his force field and other corny shit was too much.
>>83496442
And it was probably the worst shit of the movie. Accurate is not necessarily equal to good. Hell, most of x-men comic books are shit anyways. So accurate most of the times means a shallow and meaningless spectacle.
Like deadpool, like this movie, like MCU movies.
>>83499330
That fucking pec grab
What the fuck
>>83506969
(You)
It's kinda funny how Big A decides to give everyone a fashion overhaul and a new hairdo.
>>83493617
I enjoyed it, but I thought it was definitely underwhelming, nothing much really happened, and some things that did happen, didn't really need to happen. Apocalypse just went about and got his horsemen, then there was a fight at the end and that was it. The plot was the worst thing about the movie.
>>83504399
I'm glad Wolverine wasn't leading them into battle or becoming their drill sergeant. Him teaching them to fight makes sense but it doesn't feel right if Wolverine is an established member of the X-men before Cyclops hits puberty.
I would have loved the "holding back the eye blasts" scene, definitely could have strengthened the bond between those characters, though Jean never could do that before she went Dark Phoenix in the films/comics.
Pissed that Havok died before he and Scott could learn they're immune to each other's powers. They could have done some sweet combo attacks with that.
>>83504399
The climax of the first half is Apocalypse removing all Nukes/Havok blowing up the school/Stryker knocking everyone out
>>83493617
IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT FOR ME?!?!??!
i like that its generating some pretty interesting parody porn
>>83509610
Everyone took a collective shit on BvS & it broke even, how come other movies like this and F4 can't catch a break?
>>83503674
Hahahahahaha
Fucking Singer. Nigga doesnt even give a shit
>>83508378
>>83508426
I think that Havok should live, take part in beating Apoc, and being the drill sergeant, not Mystique.
That being said, ending first part of the movie with destruction of mansion, capturing people by Stryker, and capturing Xavier by Apocalypse would be probably the best cliffhanger - first part ending at the worst moment for the team, but gives enough time to meet the characters on both sides, which would make viewer actually CARE for them.
Maybe even cause destruction of mansion by the fight, not because of misfire that caused the jet to explode, which caused Havok to die in the dumbest way possibleunless next movie will retcon it somehow.
>>83507026
He's gesturing at the pizza you fucking ding dong
>>83510003
Well, how was it?
>>83493617
I'm always astounded at how cheap these movies look.
Like, some people complain that the MCU looks cheap, but it doesn't even compare to how shitty the CGI is in the X-Men flicks. The fucking shipping crates and cranes in this movie looked like they were out of an Xbox game, and the Sentinels in DoFP looked even worse.
I mean it's really the least of their problems with this turd but I don't understand why they don't try a little harder with such a big franchise.
>>83496516
I'm convinced that in the original script he didn't kill so many people, which explains that weird ending.
Think about it, all the death and destruction he caused that we saw was all CGI shot from a distance with no characters in it. They probably did it all in post after the other scenes had already been shot.
>>83499330
>I think we can all agree that the Wolverine scene was fucking hilarious just because it was like five minutes of Hugh Jackman growling like an animal and then bolting out a door abruptly.
lol it almost felt like he just got coked out and wandered on set before running away into the wilderness
>>83504399
I seriously don't understand why the mall scene was cut, the young X-Men were the best part of this.
...who am I kidding, they probably cut it to make room for Wolverine.
>>83511884
decent
liked it more than 'shagging the shapeshifter'
not that big a fan of DP
"don't tell Jean" was a funny line though
A lot of people seem to have forgotten that, for all the graphic novels that tried to push the narrative of their medium like Watchmen and The Dark Knight, there were a lot of comics that just wanted to be comic books for kids and pre-teens: big, flashy, violent, and entirely style over substance. Apocalypse was an inevitable creation, in an attempt to give the X-men an expanded villains roster and an obvious, evil, powerful threat. He is, and has always been, a one-note villain, and if anyone went into the movie with anything beyond mediocre expectations, they deserve to be disappointed. (FFS, it's called X-Men: Apocalypse, about a guy named Apocalypse, who tries to cause an apocalypse. What were you all expecting, fucking Shakespeare? This movie was doomed to be schlock from the outset.)
P.S. Consider that because the movie decided to give us that brief- if not particularly plot-fluid- detour forStriker and Wolverine in the Weapon X projectwe don't have to sit through another Wolverine movie of any kind. Consider that incredible mercy, and be glad.
>>83512105
Most likely.
What I find more baffling, is that they opted for making Horsemen even more underdeveloped.
Like, couldn't they leave the scene with Apocalypse seducing Psylocke on his side?
That being said, I am glad that the scenes in Poland were cut. The acting of "Militia" and "workers" was godawful. The accents made the supposedly emotional scenes into absolute Narm. Even more than Stan Lee during nukes.
>>83512268
>we don't have to sit through another Wolverine movie of any kind
Sweet summer child, don't you know that we will have third Wolverine movie?
>>83512298
No no no no no no no no.
No.
You're lying.
You have to be lying. They wouldn't. They CAN'T.
>>83493617
I was expecting it to be bad after everything /co/ has said and it was pretty good. The intro bit with the pyramid and the closing danger room scene were both 10/10
>>83496145
>Scott in his blue armour
my dick was solid, if they don't make a 90s x-men film nowwith the cartoon theme songI'll be pissed off.
They should just scrap the decades theme now and have the next film progress from the previous directly. The 10 year gap felt out of place in Apocalypse
>>83512386
Apparently will include elements from Old Man Logan.
May be located after the supposedly "good" ending of DoFP.
Apparently Patrick Stewart is supposed to be Professor X there.
It was known for a while, under what rock were you hiding?
That being said, I wouldn't mind Liev Schreiber becoming more prominent in future X-Men movies. He made me enjoy Origins, and none of the bad parts will change that.
>>83512386
muh fetish aside, The Wolverine was decent
>>83493617
welcome to xmen
>>83512654
I would enjoy The Wolverine more, if not for the Jean dreams.
I don't even understand Logan's obsession with her. Unless she did a mental imprint of herself in him during the Last Stand when he killed her. Which would be perfectly in character for Jean.
>>83504590
We were ready, but we didn't want to.
Contrary to popular belief, we are peaceful
>>83512738
We may be, but Commie government in Moscow?
That being said, I found it silly that fucking CNN could enter communistic Poland just like that to make a report on Magneto resurfacing, after killing a bunch of policemen.
>>83512640
For what godly purpose would they do this? What story do they think they need to tell?
God, it was bad enough watching him weeb it up for two straight hours in the last X-man film he hogged screen-time on, I don't know if I can stomach that again.
I have a theory that the 20 year time gap between First Class and Apocalypse despite no one aging can be explained away as saying the movies take place in the Marvel sliding timescale.
>>83512849
Indeed, The Wolverine seems to me as much overrated as Origins is hated.
I definitely liked Origins more. And it had the best intro in all X-Men related movies.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3lP3Sr0yKs
>>83503674
Actually, weren't that much twinks int he movie. Like 4 or 5?
I expexted some BelAmi orgy of twinks in this movie. Singer dissapoints once again i suppose.
>>83512040
They probably later found him after he had a romantic encounter with a bear. The bear, unfortunately, didn't survive the experience.
>>83513009
>Like 4 or 5?
Angel, Nightcrawler, Cyke, who else?
Also, when McAvoy got hair shave, the hair was supposed to be sent to Patric Stewart. Instead, it landed in Singer's safe. McAvoy finds this really weird. And likely creepy.
>>83514258
Confirmed
>Cyclops
>Nightcrawler
>Angel
Posible/Still has some twinkness
>Quicksilver
>Beast
>Havoc
>>83503869
My favorite moment was him calling Angel a weakling after he died. Like yeah, you literally picked the first two mutants you saw and then used an info broker to track down a mutant who got away after getting his ass kicked in some shady underground cockfight. What the fuck did you expect?
I felt like he was probably kicking himself for being so hasty in choosing his horsemen as soon as he saw every other mutant that came to fight him.
>>83514413
>Quicksilver
OK, I don't know how I managed to forget about him.
>Beast
Dunno about him, really.
>Havok
Even in First Class he was way too well built to be considered a twink.
I would say that Charles have more twinkiness than Havok or Beast. Though Beast is more affected by his personality and fur appearance.
>>83514633
I would say that Angel wasn't that bad, but he should have stayed guarding the transference, instead of letting Nightcrawler go deeper.
And he would stay useful if he wouldn't try to kill them IN the plane, like an idiot. Or throw his feathers at them. Like, you have Psylocke who can cut car in half, why bother getting in, when you can make them crash without doing that?
>>83514633
the first horsemen were so much better
i wanted more of them
dat Pestilence, dat Deathfunny enough, she was also Storms stunt double
>>83514859
Speaking of the transference, why was he so eager to get that done? Did he forget what happened the last time he did a transference? I know he wanted Xavier's power, but was it really important to get it ASAP? He seemed fairly patient for everything else and it wasn't like Charles was going anywhere. The least he could have done was wait until Magneto was available to guard him.
Why didn't Apocalypse just use the nukes? Oh wait, because that was Kevin Bacons plan....
Anyone else really like new Storm? She looked great and I thought she portrayed the character well.
Wish she had more to screentime.
>>83515106
I didn't noticed that while watching the movie in the cinema, but this line from the wiki:
>Deteriorated Body: Xavier told Jean in the astral plane, the after spending centuries in the same body, Apocalypse is becoming weaker as time passes. However, he makes up for this with his Armor.
http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/En_Sabah_Nur_(Earth-TRN414)
Apparently there is a limit on how long a mutant with regeneration can live.
>>83515200
Because En Sabah Nur knows that mutants are natural, not children of the atom.
>>83515222
I liked her a lot, even though I found her a bit more attractive with black mohawk and street rat clothes.
>>83515257
Me too she was really hot
If I could I would ask her out on a date
>>83514925
>dat Death
Indeed, she was my favourite.
>Monique Ganderton
Apoc, you had such a great taste back in the day. Not mentioning her great powers.
>>83515257
Yeah I get that but, nukes would be quicker/easier than Magneto's......metalocalypse?
>>83515359
Nukes kills more indiscriminately.
Also, that plan worked for Shaw, as Shaw could absorb nuclear explosion into himself.
>>83515225
I don't remember that line either. But that aside, wasn't he in his new body for like less than a week? Or did the time he spent sleeping count? Regardless, you'd think that the fact that his most recent body had regeneration would solve that problem. Especially since one of his horsemen specifically comments on how he can now live forever or something.
is Mystique the Felicity/Poochie of the X-men-verse?
I have yet to watch this or Days of Future's Past. Are the new guys better than the original trilogy actors? Because Beast, Storm, Charles, Magneto, Jean, Nightcrawler, and Scoff all felt perfect to me and I'm still not sure how I feel about the new Charles and Magneto after First Class.
>>83515734
I actually like the new cast introduced in Apocalypse, especially Storm and Nightcrawler. I also thought Cyclops and Jean were good.
Still not sold on Beast though.
>>83515475
>Or did the time he spent sleeping count?
I think this may be the case.
>you'd think that the fact that his most recent body had regeneration would solve that problem.
Logan turned into Old Man Logan, so Apocalypse may start getting older after a while too.
>Especially since one of his horsemen
Death, to be specific. Which I realized less through who played her, but by the fact that she and Angel had identical facial tattoo.
>comments on how he can now live forever or something.
No regeneration is perfect, I guess. Though it would definitely help him with going body surfing only when he would find perfect host.
And he lacks energy absorption that would keep him young for even more time. I dread to imagine situation in which Apocalypse would take over body of Shaw.
>>83496409
>people didnt just get this
Moira is the real fucking villain.
>>83515734
Berry Storm was crap, as she never bothered to keep the accent. New Storm is basically perfect, AND she has a mohawk.
The only one I am not sold to is Beast, but it's more the case of superior makeup of Last Stand. Although new one has a proper nose since DoFP, instead of furry appearance from FC.
Professor McAvoy and Fassneto are perfect, IMO. McAvoy fits the more aggressive Professor X, that accepted that X-Men must know how to fight. Fassbender looks surprisingly similar to younger Ian McKellen, and he definitely does a good Magneto.
>>83515900
I wonder, how the fuck she lost remainder of her memories of meeting Charles (she doesn't remember anything after leaving the facility, not ever meeting Xavier), not mentioning that she should know about him, if her superiors did. Unless they decided to never tell her about it, the assholes.
>>83515222
She's supposedly going be in the New Mutants movie.
>>83515993
How's Turner?
>>83516337
She's ok, not something amazing, but then again, I never liked Famke's Jean either. She have quite good chemistry with new Scott, so that's more than what can be said about old movies.
Also, after giving a bit of thought, I realized why she has this unflattering hairstyle.
>Mystique saved Nixon from being killed by Magneto in DoFP
>That lead to mutants being mostly accepted
>Mystique became sorta hero for mutants
>Mystique's blue form have hair slicked to the back, just like Turner's Jean
It all makes sense now.
>Or is X-Men universe turning into Red Alert one?
"Why Professor Wheels, what ever do you mean?"
>>83516569
>Yuri is basically evil, Soviet Xavier
>>83516337
she looks old and tired all the time.
>>83515222
She was surprisingly good, all things considered. I was expecting her to be fucking terrible but was impressed with the actress even though I wasn't wild about her origin and overall story.
>>83510009
I think BvS only broke even because they released it in all territories at once as opposed to the typical movie way of releasing it in other countries over time. Mainly because I think there were some signs DC knew they were gonna have a problem with this and shot for the "let's bet it all on the first weekend" plan
>>83514780
Remember when Nicholas Hoult was the twink of twinks? Too bad he's almost out of it now.
Also Lucas Till was skinny in First Class
>>83517205
>Remember when Nicholas Hoult was the twink of twinks? Too bad he's almost out of it now.
No, but I remember this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH3yRyl8t7Y
>Also Lucas Till was skinny in First Class
I suppose that lack of sleeves made him look more like a jock that plays american football. His arms looked rather muscular.
>>83512849
>>83512386
Jackman is retiring from the Wolverine role so theyre making a final Wolverine movie to introduce X-23
>>83515222
Yeah I really liked her.
I'm sorry but I'm just laughing at how people screamed for years that they wanted to see the X-Men in comic accurate costumes with more comicbook vibes in the films and when they finally do it, people are still pissed.
http://www.vulture.com/2016/06/who-looks-the-most-bored-in-x-men-apocalypse.html
When almost every actors are bored in a movie, you know the director/script/production was bad.
>>83520222
Lawrence clearly didn't give a shit anymore.
The only ones i feel still give a damn about these films are James and Hugh.
>>83520340
Well, the article clearly says James is the only one giving his all.
>>83507026
He is fake as hell.
>>83520340
Lawrence hasn't given a shit about any movie since the she got her first huge payday.
The biggest problem is that they wasted First Class and DOFP to introduce a new and lasting cast. Introducing Cyclops, Jean, Nightcrawler, Psylocke, Storm, etc in this film just felt like too much. I felt like we barely got to know these new characters, but hey, I guess we needed 20 minutes of Wolverine breaking out of Weapon X AGAIN.
