>>69684916
After DOFP, it's a letdown.

Like one reviewer put it, it's a whole lot of action to compensate for lack of plot or meaningful character interaction.

It does have a couple of emotionally powerful scenes, as is almost the norm for X-Men movies I guess
>>
>>69684916
Not OP but i saw it too.

It fucking sucks.

did they just killed Scarlet Witch?

And Quicksilver is too OP on this one.
>>
Apocalypse didn't do enough damage to the X-Men to seem like a big enough of a threat.

Also the Wolverine cameo was atrocious.
>>
Did any of the characters die?
>>
>>69685537
Havok, Angel and Apocalypse obviously, those the ones I remember off the top of my head
>>
Better than BvS?
>>
>>69685573
Yes but only because mediocrity is better than a jumbled mess.

Also surprisingly more violent than that or MoS. It's close to The Lone Ranger levels.

How do they explain certain characters having not aged at all in the 20 years between First Class and Apocalypse? or the 9 years since Days of Future Past?

Simple, they don't.
>>
how did you prep the bull before watching it?

Is the X-Men series the ultimate in "turn your brain off and just take this movie for what it is"? They must realise that nobody really cares and will see them in the cinemas once and never revisit them.

To be honest, I didnt care much either while watching it.

It was just OK, which sadly wasn't too surprising. I came out with a lot more to complain about than praise though, and I can't say I have much desire to see it again.
The problems:

Apocalypse was silly and boring. Also surprised they seemed to actually give him a concrete death. This role did nothing for Oscar Isaac.

Mystique is blue for like 10-15 mins max? And she just stands around during the final battle.

Sophie Turner's accent was AWFUL

A lot of the new characters don't have much to do. Jubilee has a few lines and never gets to use her powers, Storm just stands around until the final battle, I actually forgot Psylocke was in the movie.

The action was just messy CGI nonsense (exception being the Quicksilver rescue) and hard to much care about. Nothing to see here.

It's too long and yet still feels rushed. Singer has so much to establish that he can't really let any of the scenes breathe; it seems too busy trying to get everything together.

The characters haven't aged at all. I get that clunky makeup is terrible and all, but just making a joke about how Moira has barely aged at all doesn't successfully lampshade how ridiculous it is.

It was really weird how nobody seemed to give a shit about Magneto potentially killing a ton of people with his magnetic poles trick in the third act. Oh, he's just friends with Charles again, THE END.

What worked:

Performances were rock solid (apart from Jean)

Wolverine's cameo was dope

Quicksilver rescue scene

Apocalypse launching the nukes was intense

Post-credits scene was an interesting tease
>>
>>69684872
Do Jubilee, Havok, Psylock and Angel die?

>>69686595

Lol no. That scene with Jean trying to calm him down was so awkward.
>>
Do they explain how Jubilee is a teenager in the 80s and also a teenager in the 00s?

If Angel dies who's the guy from Xmen3?
>>
>>69686692
>Do they explain how Jubilee is a teenager in the 80s and also a teenager in the 00s?
>If Angel dies who's the guy from Xmen3?

This is a new timeline, it's still the one from First Class where events don't line up with X-Men (2000).

Believe me, I was there looking for stuff where they would set up some sort of actual continuity between this and X-Men but no, nothing of the sort.
>>
>>69686692
No and No.

When Wolverine woke up in the past, some realities were altered.
>>
Plus:
- Xavier, Magneto, and Mystique has great character arc
- great introduction to the new(old) characters, like Scott, Jean, Nightcrawler and etc
- much grander scale
- some cool action sequence
- Quicksilver's slow-mo rescue sequence
- strong beginning, with fantastic opening scene
- great performances by the casts, especially McAvoy and Fassbender
- Apocalypse looks menacing

Negative:
- later half kinda fell apart
- underdeveloped characters, especially all the horsemen
- too much fan-service moments, for example that wolverine cameo has nothing to do with the plot and overlong
- JLaw looks bored playing Mystique

Overall I give it 8/10, really enjoyed it

>New timeline
Is pretty strange that in a new reality a character borns 20 years earlier, which means his parents also had to born ealier, and so on till at least several generations, it makes no fucking sense wolverine changing the past in the 60-70s changed all that.
>>
>>69686859
No, Wolverine has nothing to do with it, he came and went for DOFP.

The problem lies with the clowns who wrote the story for First Class, a bunch of inconsistencies for no reason whatsoever. Anyway, it's like a reboot timeline and Apocalypse follows suit. The old timeline is dead and gone.

I don't know who that is but no characters named Frost or such appear.
>>
I just came back from seeing this. Movie was generally good but it was pacing was pretty shitty and film was about 20 minutes too long.

Wolverine cameo was good, it left you wanting more but him in full raging killing machine mode is fun.

All the new cast were good and Sansa was Great. Apocalypse himself actually worked, which surprised me.
Couple of genuinely emotional moments too and magnetos character in particular was done justice.
Quicksilver being quick scene was good but It did feel like it was solely there to outdo Dofp scene so came across a little try hard.
Some of the jokes missed their mark too, especially from Professor X

Overall would give it 6.5/10

What the fuck? They were the only good thing about these movies. I'm not watching this shit then.
>>
>>69684872
Is there an after credits scene? Who or what is it?
>>
>>69687640
Yes, at the very end and after an excruciantingly long credits scroll. Anyway, it's some shady guy who enters that base under the dam where where Stryker operates. We see people cleaning up casings and blood left by Wolverine when he broke out. This guy gets a vial that says Weapon X (probably blood or material needed to make such mutants) and puts it in his briefcase that has two others vials like it, one orange and one green IIRC, end.

>>69687781
It's very vague and I dont read comic and it doesn't say X-23 anywhere. But it makes sense since Psylock survives, the only villain who doesn't die or join the X-Men, supposedly for a possible X-Force movie, of which X-23 is a part of.
>>
>>69687734
That's Essex company. Thus it teases Mr. Sinister.
>>

Didn't they kill her off in between First Class and DOFP?

Except the neck snapping it didnt feel violent at all, they are all gods playing with each other.

Lets compare it to deaths in DoFP, is it more brutal or not?
>>
Isn't Jean Grey supposed to be really attractive? What happened?
>>
>>69687337
Xavier, Magneto, Apoc, and Mystique. Rank their screen time from highest to lowest
>>
>>69688826

Apocalypse
Mystique
Xavier=Magneto
>>
>>69688764
>Lets compare it to deaths in DoFP, is it more brutal or not?

More even compared to the future Sentinel scenes because both sides were combatants, in Apocalypse we see policemen, steel mill workers, merchants, thugs all killed in gruesome ways on screen (via CGI powers but still) like they're fucking nothing, some disturbing stuff and it's not just Apocalypse who dishes the pain, Magneto goes apeshit insane in two scenes. Wolverine's sequence is brutal too but less disturbing in comparison.

>>69688826
Not great with rankings but I'd say about even for all of them, I think there's less Mystique this time around though compared to previous movies which was a nice plus.

Problem is we don't get much Xavier/Magneto together this time around. This is the one they share the least time together.

If this is the guy who made First Class, then yes.
It really felt like a movie in the 60's, while DOFP and Apocalypse tried to make it a point about the decades they are in, but they never really felt like they took advantage of it.
>>
>>69689187
Slightly larger role than the original Cyclops, more for him to do but it's his first mission so still nowhere near the leader we know and love. Don't pay full price if it's for him.

Also, remember the ending of DOFP, where they pull Wolverine out of the water, and they show that Stryker's eyes are yellow, implying that it's actually Mystique?

They completely drop that, not a single mention or reference to that.
>>
>>69689265
It is. It's too bad Matthew Vaughn is stuck doing adaptations of Mark Millar's work.
>>
>>69689252
Yes, it is. Some others give a hand, but without her Apocalypse would have escaped and survived. Xavier is knocked out almost so he tells her to unleash her power at him. She does and we get a flash of the dark phoenix, but she comes back to herself after that.
>>
>>69685720
Magneto and Charles both look slightly rougher, but yeah there's no way they're even trying to make them look like they're in their mid-40s

Havok is treated like he's a decade less old than he really is.

Raven was established to age at half speed in DofP

Moira has a kid and looks more frumpy but thats it.

I'm pretty sure the rest of FC's cast is dead or MIA

I recall reading that Apocalypse is essentially following an alternate timeline.

So we had:
FC - DofP (past only) - X:O - X1 - X2 - X3 - Sa DofP-era

And by the end of DofP it was:
FC - DofP (past only) - Happy DofP-era

But now it's:
FC - DofP (past only) - [Timeline Diverges] - Apocalypse - Deadpool - ???

It's done entirely so they can justify doing whatever they want with the characters without invalidating the happy ending in DofP because they're seperate timelines now.
>>
>>69685565

>Killing Apocalypse after one movie

Is it a decent death scene at least
>>
>>69689623
No, the happy ending shown at the end of DOFP is still the future of the Apocalypse timeline, and in fact, Wolverine 3 will happen right after that happy future ending.
>>
>>69689623
So to be clear: from now on, First Class, Future Past minus the last eight minutes, Apocalypse, and Deadpool are all that's canon?
>>
>>69689675

He did that when he fought Charles inside his mind. (featured in one of the trailers) Never did it with his actual body in the movie, though.

It's all canon because X1-X3 must happen to lead to the DoFP timeline. It's just also canon that the FC cast retcons the old timeline in DoFP.

It's canon that we have a branching timeline after DoFP, period. You still should have watched all movies.
