>First ten minutes is Apocalypse and his horseman falling at very high speeds while his horseman changes his clothes (all with the worst CGi possible)

So, this is a comedy, right? A parody of cape films, right? No director actually looked at this scene and thought "This looks perfect and totally not stupid!".

It was pretty bad. But not bad enough to get super annoyed over...but bad enough that it wasn't good. So it's just a movie that exists.

This. The only issue with Apocalypse is that it tried too much to emulate comics book conventions.

Should have been another sci-fi action film featuring the x-men instead of generic capeshit. Even then,it has its moments.

Sweet Quips scene is the best action scene and probably the biggest practical stunt of the last 10 years.

Just think about the architecture of the pyramid. It's fucking amazing. They made this huge, gigantic pyramid, in such a way that there were a couple of pillars that held up the entire complex with passageways exactly to these pillars so that in the event of something, they could collapse the pyramid by simply sliding stones into the holes
>>
The Magneto suffering arc was uncalled for. He should have been out of the film entirely, siding WITH Xavier, or something else. Him being the villain felt wrong-----just as wrong as him apparently being absolved for all of the death and destruction he caused by the end of the movie.

I don't like how they're racing towards present day. If there will be a movie in the 90s a decade later they need to replace a majority of their actors.

I find it hard to believe there was a director period. It just felt very "made by committee." Just non-stop, toss everything we have at the screen and maybe some of it will stick. And much like the Amazing Spider-Man movies before it, some of the stuff actually is pretty good on its own, but as a whole it's just a big mess of a movie.
>>
>>83543381
The Weapon X stuff felt pointless to me. It only existed to set up Wolverine 3.

And what's worse is that they took away his visor for his Weapon X suit.
So you can CLEARLY see Hugh Jackman's face. They don't even try to hide his face in the shadows. They even have Hugh's face staring directing at the camera. And then they try to pull a dramatic reveal with Jean.

Don't forget.
Magneto kills billions of people (more than the holocaust) ad almost had Prof X's existence absorbed by Apocalypse and Prof X just let's him leave. Doesn't arrest him or shit.

Pyslocke and Angel aren't characters an could have been replaced by anyone.

The X-Men instantly forgive Storm for helping Apocalypse and Magneto kill lots of people and put her on the team.

Fassbender was overacting the fuck in this movie.
>>
>>83543515
Whats worse is how out of place Stryker was. I know the entire thing was to give them the suits, a ride to cairo, and to tease wolverine, but damn it felt rushed. The mansion is a crater for like 30 secs and Stryker is already on their front lawn. Also he somehow knows which mutants to take upon touching down. It was such an asspull to get from point A to B

It wants to be taken seriously. It's why it did Apocalypse destroy cairo and Magneto destroy thousands of people (ina roland emmerich and mos way) and tried adding a billion fan characters. It wants to be like DoFP. A movie that is fun but also emotional and deep.
>>
>>83543816
But she was on board for genocide? Again it would have made more sense if Apocalypse had a control over his horsemen.
>>
>>83543515
That and DoFP retcons a hell of a lot of other events further down in the timeline.

After Logan returns to a much more optimistic future in the late 2010s/very early 2020s, his body and his 1970s mind was recovered, unconscious, by Mystique who was very, very clearly impersonating Stryker.

Before Apocalypse came out, many believed Logan not being captured would have created a new timeline where his life wasn't such a travesty prior to X1. Yet Apocalypse seems to have ignored its own continuity and chance at a clean slate timeline by having Logan be captured off screen during the time jump regardless.

(Also, I wish Scott died/was put into a coma. Havoc's character and actor were more likable.)
>>
>>83543775
Hurt Mystique, her idol.

Still doesn't explain why Prof X would forgive her. Or why Cyclops, Nightcrawler, and Jean would be comfortable training with her after she tried to murder them.

Felt like it was too serious and dull. Would've liked to see more fun stuff like the Quip-Silver scene or actually see the kids at the mall. Instead we get generic bad guy blowing stuff up and assembling his power rangers, who weren't that interesting
>>
>>83543951
That should have been explained more in the first arc.
I mean, persuasion like God Ward, Killgrave, Loki's Sceptor?

It just seemed like the mutants in this film were totes okay with genociding humans---which completely undid all the good will towards mutants and The Hero's actions in the 70s.
>>
>>83544034
Directly no. But he probably looked at surveillance feeds of the Cuba thing so he knew who she was. He's a black ops guy after all. And he may know Quicksilver from the breakout in the White House though that's a bit of a stretch since they destroyed the video feed of that incident. Though I don't think it's unreasonable for him to have done some investigation

But I do agree they showed up way too fast even with 24/7 satellite coverage

He could recognize Moira, because his own father was one of her superiors.
You know, Mystique impersonated his dad in First Class, when there was that hysteria about Xavier being a spy, not a mutant.
>>
>>83543439
>Wolverine scene could have been cut out and feels forced
The entire part where they're captured by Stryker should have never been in the film. The only purpose it served was a pointless Wolverine cameo.

Plus it makes no fucking sense because at the end of DOFP Mystique is clearly disguising herself as Stryker. What the fuck happened there? Did she decide to experiment on mutants now?

Also what the hell is up with everyone looking like they're the same age they were 20 years ago, for the original cast, and 10 years ago for characters like Quicksilver? They didn't even try to make them look older.

Apocalypses pyramid and Magnetos force field was way worse imo

>>83544425
I mean, there was a post credits scene where the Essex Corp took the Wolverine blood vial from the base, which kinda points towards Mr Sinister and a possible X23 return. But you really didn't need a 30 minute sequuence for that.

Budget for the movie was only 175 mil and it showed.

Goddamn I haven't seen CGI this bad in a major blockbuster in a long time. I mean both Civil War and BvS had some shitty CGI moments, but not like this.
>>
>>83544942
DOFP had a higher budget but because they had to bring in the old cast along with the new ones, and the CGI was pretty good.
There was nothing wrong with the sentinels.
The only scene that looked bad was that one where Magneto started putting metal things inside the 70's Sentinels when they were being transported on a train.
>>
>>83543137
Sure, if it's heavy enough or strikes with sufficient force, though at the forces we're talking about (hard enough to do the same kind of damage to the internal organs that a gunshot wound would do through impact rather than direct tearing of tissues) most woods light enough to be used as arrows would probably splinter at the first impact site, assuming they survived the launch.

The critical problem with it is that unless you struck the heart or brain directly, an arrow wouldn't kill anything. It'll make it bleed, internally and externally, and that will in turn eventually kill, but it won't be a case of arrow hit=death. Then again the same is true of stab wounds and gunshot. The only other place aside from the heart or brain that you could score anything like a certain kill from would be the throat - you'd have to tear it out completely or cause such massive blood loss that it fills the lungs.

>>83544474
Or you could just hit them with a box-shaped balloon. That is some Shrek PS2 game CGI right there.
>>
>>83544942
The only weird CGI in Civil War was perhaps the armor modeled on Tony. Other than that I think it looked pretty good, giant man was solid
>>
>>83544942
>>83544966
It was $234, not including marketing.

That's the problem with large returning casts.
>>
>>83545031
It was mostly that Tony's head sometimes looked like it was floating and it didn't ''synchronize'' with the rest of the suit.
The rest was fine.
>>
>>83544966
Yeah DOFP looked pretty good.

Seems like the bigger the movie is, the worse CGI gets. AoU also had some really bad CGI parts and that movie had a 250 mil budget. Ant-Man and TWS however never made me say "damn, that's some shitty CGI" and they both had smaller budgets. Granted, a lot of TWS was practical, but even so...I imagine RDJ eating up 50 mil of the movie's budget is the reason why AoU and Civil War had some weird CGI.

>Seems like the bigger the movie is, the worse CGI gets.
Because in large ensemble movies a lot of the budget goes to the casts.

Another reason why the budget doesn't get exponentially higher is because of that faggot Ike Perlmutter who spent years cutting away expenses everytime he could.
He also pushed to have Iron Man recasted because he thought RDJ was too expensive, and RDJ pushed for the rest of the cast from Avengers 1 to have a bigger pay when he saw how little they were getting paid for it.

They already said that each Infinity War movie is going to have a budget of 500 million, and they already seem to be blowing money away on actors for Thor 3, so we may see an increase in quality.
After all, Disney sees the movies as advertisement, they just want toys to make out of them because the money they get from toys makes the profits from movies look like pocket change to them.

Watching Quicksilver's Slo-Mo scenes is the only reason to see DOFP and Apocalypse.

Everyone's contracts expired now anyway, and Jackman will leave after Wolverine 3.

That's good to hear, that movie will have a huge cast and will need massive amounts of CGI. It's not the time to get cheap.

I imagine only the actor salaries will be almost 200 mil.

It's honestly a good adaptation to share with young and old a like.
Honestly that's where some directors really fuck up and they don't understand that when you are making a film with history and pedigree you need to make it something where it has a good generational pass down with it. Where your little girl gets dancing in her seat to the song "be like you" and it waxes memories in your youth listening to the soundtrack record with your mom and dad when life was simpler for you and you get that moment that makes you want to share the film with others or see it again.

Going to disagree with you there about the Wreak Havoc thing. In avengers it was played as a joke, and what orders are you going to give Hulk anyway? In X Men Xavier's line was played straight like "see we did there? badass I know", which it really wasnt. It was cringe inducing

Lack of showing people being affected by the destruction is what made the stakes feel nonexistent.

Technically, you don't need to kill characters to create stakes, although Havok's death was definitely not related to the stakes in the slightest, just pure retarded move from Singer to give Quickersilver moment, which was diminishing significance of Havok's death.

Avengers is well liked though.
It's the Age of Ultron that is not.

People shit on Whedon for many reason, from the passion for quips to the amateurish camera work, it's not only AoU
Despite it's problems i actually prefer AoU over Avengers in some aspects, the 1st one feels too "safe" and by the numbers. But that's just me, let's not derail the thread further

Why WAS Stryker's scene even in the movie?
Wouldn't Wolverine breaking out warrant a scene in his own movie?

Couldn't they have avoided blowing up the mansion altogether as well?

If they scrapped those awful ideas they could have given some life to Psylocke, Cyclops, and Jean.
I guess we'd miss out on the Quicksilver scene but everything just felt so forced.

Nah I didn't even see DoFP. More like just how the film was made didn't make it seem like a real threat

>Wouldn't Wolverine breaking out warrant a scene in his own movie?
It'll probably just be a bunch of cuts of him being poked in the cage, freed by some mysterious force, killing a bunch of guys, flash of Jean's face, which will have creepy implications, and then him running out into the wild.

He picks him even after he's shown being effectively flight crippled

>>83549038
Realistically after Psylocke told him she knew where to find who he was looking for and took him to that joke he should have just gibbed them both.

She was clearly not keeping up her side of the bargain.

I know Sophie Turner is of age and is kind of a slag but the implications are so fucking creepy.

But hey fuck it, it's Hugh Jackman. Which cast member doesn't want to fuck him

Seriously, even if Angel wasn't injured that was a stupid choice.
>Pyslocke: You want the strongest mutants? Let me take you to a guy who has organic bird wings and like two talons

Really? That's who she shows Apocalypse first? I would of bitchslapped her and Angel.

I didn't love it but I didn't hate it. It's kind of forgettable really, aside from Magneto, Quicksilver, Nightcrawler, and Caliban everything else was inoffensive but dull.

Why does Magneto's helmet look so small? Measure twice and transmute sand once, Apocalypse.

That sounds more like a greenscreen/footage-joining problem than a CG problem. A lot of times what they do for the Iron Man suits is have a body double in a green mask and partially constructed real suit act out the body part of the scene, and then the SFX crews sync RDJ's head movement to the other actor and finish the suit details. That seems to also be what they did with the airport scene. It's similar to what they did with pre-serum Captain America.

It would have made more sense if Apocalypse visited the mansion earlier searching for his horsemen, plenty to pick from.

I'm pretty sure that its supposed to be a faraday cage. Which I am perfectly willing to believe fucks with some mutant powers, and its generally not a bad thing to have in your super secret science transport for a number of reasons.

But the fact that it seemingly blocks EVERYTHING was really weird. Like, is this how Magneto's helmet works?

Also, and here is the REAL question: how the fuck did Stryker 'track' the psychic signal back tot he Xavier school? He said it was the source of the signal and all. This means that the US government has the ability to detect psychic waves and shit, which is a pretty baffling thing when you think about it.

Like, does Stryker just have a telepath on staff whose job is to be a listening post? If so, that's actually enormously important. There is a lot the US government could, and WOULD, do with a friendly telepath like that.

>>83552494
What I assume is that the government always keeps tabs on the school and Cerebro emits a huge signal each time its used. You could argue that they could never prove the signal originated from Xaviers school, but Apocalypses interference was enough to nail down the location. But regardless Stryker showing up on the front lawn came out of nowhere
