I mean this movie could be bad. Seriously. Days of Future Past was good because it really had that shock factor and comfy feeling as they fixed mistakes from past movies and it was a return to X-Men 2 form.

But now you have
>Mystique as leader of X-Men because why?
>Magneto put on the sidelines.
>A so so Apocalypse.
>Characters put in that literally only had only like 2 lines of dialogue.


I think the main reason this movie and BvS are getting bad reviews aren't because they're really terrible movies but they're disappointing movies. Civil War met everyone's expectations and gave everyone exactly what they were hoping for. Suicide Squad should be the same so long as the plot makes sense.

Fucking capeshit needs to die
>>
>>69321743

This was so obvious that i don't even need to see the movie to know it's true. Trailer alone looks just terrible.

They have to stop focusing on 3 characters for 10 movies and then expect that putting 20 random undeveloped characters would don anything for the movies.

Seriously they made the first bunch of movies around Wolverine and this second bunch about McAvoy, Fassbender and Lawrence and all the rest are just accessory to that and i am sorry but that DOESNT. FUCKING. WORKS.

I mean Xmen 2 was great because Wolverine was the main character for a reason. First Class worked despise everything because they took the time to develop Charles and Eric.

If on every movie they focused on 3 different mutants then on a 10th movie putting them all together would work. That's why the first Avengers works.

Now if you focus on the same 3 all the time it just won't work to introduce a whole bunch of new characters on the final one... because even if they die, who cares? right?

Objectively to /tv/ i actually like a good capeshit movie. A GOOD one being the key term. I like the Civil Wars, Winter Soldiers and The Dark Knights but the mediocre ones are bad....very bad.

Ironically this is what people wanted Marvel to do for Civil War. Thank god they didn't.

X-Men can be done properly, hell you don't have to have every character have an arc either. If you follow a set of characters and keep it to that set you wont have a problem. The problem is they add characters and try to give them personal arcs when you could just leave it to 'we're students of Xavier on a mission' and just follow the main 5 or so.

I think its all subjective. Westerns were never my thing but there are some good ones i like out there. Same with Horror movies, i hate them with a passion, but i do enjoy a couple.

Agreed. First Class is the only X-Men movie that feels like an X-Men movie to me. DOFP felt like an apology note to fans, and X1 and X2 are just decent movies.

I really am suspicious that Apocalypse would suffer the same plight as The Last Stand because they spent $200 million to divert from the original trilogy only to fall into the same trap again? Singer is back on X1 was good, X2 was phenomenal, XFC was phenomenal (Singer was on production), DoFP was in a league of its own. Only to return to shite form again... something isn't right.

They don't have the licensing pressures like Disney/Marvel, they just have to make quality movie and get good ROI for THAT movie.


Age of Ultron WAS hot, regurgitated, compost and even it got C+/B- reviews. BvS was O.K. considering it was Snyder at the helm and that got torn to shreds. I'm definitely going to see this one myself.

It would have been a mistake. I admittedly like the arc how it was done on the comics but it wouldn't have worked on a cinematic universe that had not presented the characters because without proper development we just don't care.

Look at "the miracles" on the Avengers 2 or Vision... cool reference but i really didn't care about them. If Pietro's death was supposed to make us feel it totally failed. Had Hawkeye died instead that would have been better... we got stuck with his family for no reason and all. Might have been a cheap shoot but more effective.

X men could develop their characters along different movies and it would work... not only by focusing on different characters but they could also divide some arcs between movies since the movies are kind of working as high budget series at this point.

Besides there are so many interesting ones that would allow for really different movies... not only the main X men, which definitely need a self sustaining movie but i am thinking X-factor or X-force too.

There are so many interesting arcs that are far more interesting than presenting "a stronger villain".
Watching Cyclps go from golden boy from skeptic is a really great arc.

Thinking that the Xmen need to have a public face but also need an organization that does their dirty work giving characters we love some moral ambiguity.

Or just plain simple a group of mutants that do detective work for a living. Multiple man and his gang are wasted on the movies.

So many interesting angles better than... well, this. Even the apocalypse saga can be better if done correctly but i think i rather see Cable on Deadpool, they'll do him justice there.

I'd say their reputation has improved dramatically since Tom Rothman left the company. Every bone-headed decision Fox has made in the last 10 years can be traced back to him fucking things up behind the scenes.

To be fair, there is a fucking lot going on in BvS and it is hard to follow. And the villain is underused and wasted (Both Lex and Doomsday)

>Marvel movie
>there's a lot going on, butt it just werks!
>villain is underused but 'great actor wasted in the role' does good with the little he had
>9/10

Civil War has a lot going on, but is not over complicated like BvS. Its simple, and they've also had 13 movies of build up to pull from.

The Villain wasn't really underused as much as he simply wasn't the focus. He was pulling strings but he wasn't pushed as the main focus of the movie unlike Lex. He also wasn't badly done....like Lex.

I mean if you're gonna try to make some points make some valid ones.

I'm not. Its not like Singer can do no wrong. He's made bombs before. I think people shouldn't worry tho. Most reaction is mixed instead of just downright negative like BvS.

Contrary to what DCucks (not a company loyalist, just find it to be an appropriate term) believe, most Marvel films don't receive glowing reviews. With the exception of the first Iron Man, Guardians, and the Captain American sequels, they all get average reception for being mildly enjoyable action films. But I suppose a mere image of a ripe tomato is enough to trigger autists into shitting up /tv/ with their stupid company wars faggotry.

CW was a great movie and deserved its positive reviews. I don't think saying it's like every other Marvel movie gives it a fair chance because it did a lot to diversify itself, and having watched Age of Ultron the night previous it was a breath of fresh air. Characters had personalities and talked in conversations and not shoddy dialogue exchanges for the sole purpose of setting up/explaining plot.

That being said, a lot of Marvel movies that aren't so deserving of praise get it anyway. I think it has something to do with the Marvel brand that people are so supportive of and invested in at this point that they feel bad for criticising it. Unless it's so bad that they have to acknowledge it (which no Marvel ever is), then they're most likely to give a good review. Properties like Batman and X-Men don't have that established brand loyalty, in fact a lot of people were very eager for both these to see these fail before they were even released. Unlike Marvel, these movies needed to be exceptional for people to embrace them, and they probably (haven't seen Apocalypse) failed to do this.

At the end of the day though, we don't need to bash Civil War to recognise that there are biases in reviewing, and we don't need to make up excuses like reviewers being paid because that's highly unlikely. Critics opinions seem to be very situational, and while other factors may influence their enjoyment of a movie besides the movie itself, those feelings are valid as they reflect the nature of people in general. I didn't think BvS was a bad film, in fact I enjoyed it, but I didn't see the general public enjoying it, and this was reflected by the reviews.

Deadpool left me tired with comedy after comedy.

It needed a break and needed to be serious in some parts.

>Characters had personalities and talked in conversations and not shoddy dialogue exchanges for the sole purpose of setting up/explaining plot
