Bump, seriously what happened? Why should a good movie suffer because of Marvel fatigue?

Why should a movie be criticized about being "formulaic" while the Marvel capeshit gets high 80s and 90s on RT?
>>
>>70075186
Are those retarded opinions of the same critic, or what are you trying to say?

Personally, I loved Apocalypse, but I get that it wasn't as strong and well paced as DoFP.
Also, DoFP had a LOT going on, trying to reboot the franchise at the same time of dealing with political issues as well as annihilation. It kinda makes the strongest villain pale in comparison, because that was the only thing motivating this movie. Maybe human compassion and selfishness, but that was very subtle.

What Apocalypse has over DoFP are God tier performances by both lead characters, and even Lawrence wasn't that bad.
>>
>>70075186
Why did people think this movie was going to be good? It's looked like shit from the beginning.
>>
>>70075463
It's a generalization but many of the same people who loved DofP for not being a generic Marvel movie hate Apocalypse for the same thing. It's retarded.
>>
>>70075186
Just came back from seeing this, and it is goofy as fuck. The entire theater was cracking up at a good chunk of the movie, including shit that wasn't supposed to be funny. Also, Apocalypse still looks and sounds ridiculous

Charles, Moira and Magneto are aged as fuck. The latter being naturally so, and I think Charles and Moira was mostly a bit of makeup.
Raven and Beast are not supposed to age as fast as humans.
Havok and Quicksilver were also aged a bit, but it's like going from 18/28 where there's not much difference.

Also I was a dressing this in another thread that died so I'll just copy-paste here because it's one of the big complaints about the movie...


About Jean's powerlevel:

Indeed, Charles never put the restrains that X3 did, so she could easily access her full inner strength.
This also explains why she had nightmares and trouble coping, because it's safe to assume X3 Jean had a much easier time with said mental blocks in place.
It even kinda checks out with the first Xmen movie where she is weak as fuck, she basically moves a pencil and gets a headache afterwards.

This new Jean Grey could be really awesome if they keep her power level this way.
>>
>>70075186
You have those in reverse. Apocalypse is your typical capeshit movie.

Days of Future Past was capekino.
>>
Bump for Oscar Isaac looked actually pretty good.
His height made sense since he switch bodies around, and people were scientifically proven shorter during the Egyptian Era.
>>
I never got exactly how Apocalypses powers worked

Why was he blue? Why did he have space tech? From my understanding he had so many powers since he had been repeteadly been switching bodies with mutants, adding more and more powers (because apparently powers are stored mentally not physically)

But what did he have originally then?
>>
>>70076391
This.
>>
there was many blue ppl, this movie should have started with

>HEY LISTEN UP, HERES A STORY
>>
>>70077452
>>70077452
Because of not having any rights to the other half of the Marvel Universe, Apocalypse was half-assed. He was originally giant gray mutant who was indestructible and could shape shift his body into hard objects. Kang the Conqueror time traveled back in time to ancient Egypt where he was Kang n' shit. No really, he was Kang n shit. Apocalypse defeated Kang and took his future technology. He spent his mutant-longevity learning how it works and used it on himself. Thus, Apocalypse.

It was strange watching him in ancient egypt already garbed in his Celestial future tech body armor.
>>
>>70075186
Had good scenes but felt sloppy. Charles revelation near the end allowing him to do the mind battle with big blue seemingly came out of nowhere. Tho it was cool for the mind battle to take place in the school and Charles got a few good punches in before being overwhelmed. It was nice to see him not look like such a pussy for once. Wolverine scene was cool as well. Wolverine is always so damn cool. Quicksilver was handled well. Tho I thought it was stupid he didn't tell Magneto anything.
>>
>>70076347
>not a different between 18 and 28 year olds

are you fucking serious?
>>
>>70077452
Obviously the power of stealing powers.
Starting from that, it makes sense that he acquired so many over the centuries.
Also, his comic book origin states that he was born blue, that's why he was abandoned and started developing hatred towards mankind and the weak.
>>
>>70077686
They all should have looked older. We're supposed to believe magneto and quicksilver are father and son and that 10 years has passed since previous events? That's bullshit. They look to close any age.
>>
>>70077618
Oh, I see, cool. So the different parts his horseman moved from one body to another in the opening scene was his celestial future tech body armor?

>>70077708
Wait a minute, wasn't he sealed under the pyramid for 5000 years? How could he steal powers during that time? Also how could Moira heard of him if he was gone for 5000 years?

Also it's pretty funny how there's supposed to be much more mutants in the present than 5000 years ago yet Apocalypse egyptian horseman had WAY better powers than his present ones
>>
This movie was all over the place.

There was a literally fistfight inside a brain and it was dumb.
>>
To the contrary.

Days of Future Past was good because of the social commentary aspect it had.

Apocalypse juts went full-on avengers capeshit.

Take your millenial head out of your millenial ass and realize that people looked much older in past decades.
Pic related. They look like a bunch of middle aged citizens, yet they're 18 in average.

>>70077763
Also see pic.

And no, you big dummy, I meant he stole powers from the centuries prior of the Egypt event.
Considering that people used to have an average lifespan of 50, even if he was active for 400 years, he should've stolen around 8 bodies with 8 different powers before being sealed.
>>
This movie was nowhere even close to being half as good as First Class. It was also worse than DOFP. None of the character had development.

>>
>>70078938
How old do you think McAvoy, Byrne, and Fassbender are exactly?
>>
>>70079151

Batman v. Superman started receiving terrible reception.

Marvel Cinematic Universe is absurdly popular franchise.

Therefore, /tv/ went to bat for Warner Bros. just so that they're not the other guys.

It's gotten out of hand though. At this point, I seriously believe that some people out there honestly consider BvS to be some sort of under appreciated work of genius.

Disney saw a threat to their precious franchise and they paid off critics to give bad reviews to non MCU movies. The only reason Deadpool wasn't critically panned was because they didn't see it as a threat. I expect Deadpool 2 to get similar reviews when it comes out.
>>
>>70085443
Did you not watch First Class?
She has a normal appearance which is basically her, if she wasn't a mutant.

Gosh people, seems like they really have to spell it out for you.... She was blue for most of DoFP because she was a rebel against everything, hated mankind, and deemed her non blue form a disgrace. Having to hide was her trigger so it makes sense she was mostly blue and naked.
This movie specifically states that after the events of DoFP she went into hiding, after becoming iconic for mutants of course, and found herself disappointed because she achieved nothing from her rebellious phase. Then a way for her to cope, was presenting herself to society as her regular form. She kept doing things for the mutant community but not openly.

I just saw it, I definitely think Psylocke and Storm are rule34 material. Hot faps will be had, thanks Singer.

Apart from them, the Emo kid and Raven were trash tier. Apocalypse was pretty shitty too.

Magneto and his child, QS saved the movie though. I still think James McAvoy was perfectly cast in his role as Prof. X, but what took me by surprise was the Phoenix reveal at the end. I actually found Sansa pretty fappable in her last shot, her hair should be exposed and wild, looked much much better.

Personally though, I just want a spin-off where QS dates Storm and Magneto bones Psylocke. Greatest story never told.

they never bring it up in the original trilogy either, it's pretty much handwaved away that they're not related, same way that Havok is the older brother to Scott, that and Scott's inability to control his blasts is just inexperience, not hitting his head on debris saving them from a plane crash

At the end of DOFP Stryker (or mystique, what the fuck) takes Wolverine away to be experimented on for the Weapon X project, at the time in the 70s he had bone claws, here he's undergone the process to get the adamantium put in which is before any events in X1 and 2

>Apocalypse still looks and sounds ridiculous
The make-up looks bad, but Oscar delivered a powerful performance, he behaves and acts like a real villain.
>>
>>70076113
>Psylocke is terrible
You fucking take that back, she had like 4 lines and 5 minutes overall, but she was good, way better than expected. I wouldn't mind if they had cut Angel and Mystique time to add more Psylocke and Storm.
>>
>>70095905
storm was great, real cutie actress too. hope she gets it interracially on with QS. angel and raven were definitely bad, but i agree they should've given psylocke more screentime.
>>
So next movie is Mr. Sinister and Psylocke? Sounds good to me, hopefully they'll keep him as a longer lasting villain, that's something Marvel has learned and X-Men movies lack - continuity and a "bigger game".

All the reasons no one liked The Dark Knight, right? Oh ... wait. No, I was mistaken. You're just an idiot.

We are talking about the guys who send the Wolverine into program Weapon X, 3 different times, and we had 3 Strykers as well.

>"hurrr durr let's destroy the world" villain.
This literally hasn't been the case since X2 and even that is debatable.

Going by the poster alone this movie looks terrible. Guess I'll find out for sure in 3 hours.

This works when the hero/superhero is a normal "human bean", and there are not "Superpowered freaks" in their universe. Batman, Punisher... etc. In a world with superhumans like MCU, DCU or XMU, you can not use violence as a form of threat because some guy could come and will make you explode in little chunks. And consequences must be very different, because there are also large, world/universe threatening villains.

You are awfully fucking new and retarded if you base shit off posters.

X-Men First Class had dogshit posters and it turned out well, retard. /tv/ had a shitstorm with photoshopping those FC posters 5 years ago.

I bet you fucking weren't even here then, like 90% of this board.
>>
>>70096586
>It was ruined by the terrible teenager cast
Not really, JLaw is the worst, with Beast guy going second. Most teenagers were pretty cool, Storm and Twinkcrawler were amazing, Jean was better than I expected, Cyke and Jubilee were meh (But to be fair they had almost no screentime)

I can't believe someone paid for this, and someone approved this.
>>
>>70096420
It's never been the case in X-Men until now, it's a bullshit MCU crutch, that's my problem.
>>
I liked First Class and DoFP
I don't mind Jennifer Lawrence but only when she's a supporting actress

Will I like this? Deciding between this and Gosling's new movie for tonight
>>
>>70097324
Watch Goose
>>
>>70097324
I'd say is a bit worse than both, but still better than all previous ones (Except X2). JLaw basically becomes the main character at some point (And ironically she and Archangel are the worst of the movie}

It's a nice end part for a trilogy, and a good set-up for the next trilogy/sequel.
>>
>>70097355
>>70097525
Goose it is. I'll watch Apocalypse at matinee or $5 Tuesday
>>
>>70085821
During the first half of the movie I thought it was better in every way, but closer to the end it had some noticeable pacing issues and some of their ideas were just fucking out there. Still, loved it.
>>
Is Nightcrawler still Mystiques son?
>>
Do mutants ever have human children or is it a 100% guaranteed mutant offspring rate
>>
>>70097713

He was never Mystique's son in the movies, or at least it's never brought up at all.
>>
>>70097768

Sabertooth had a human kid with Mystique, who later creates the hate group Friends of Humanity.
>>
>>70097768
One of the original X-Men (maybe X3?)gave the ice guy a normal brother iirc
>>
>>70075498
Pretty much this
More twink-mode teen casting, Sansa Stark-Jean Grey, underutilized new characters, Mudslime Storm (dafuq), rushing shit with zero buildup Phoenix right out of the gate, consequence-free genocide cough, Magneto

Seem's like Singer is just going through the motions at this point
>>
Faraci Savage af
>>
>>70097880
ice guy's dad wasn't a mutant though.
>>
>>70097986
The only thing savage about that man is the fucking that his bull gives his girlfriend.
>>
>>70097888

>Mudslime Storm

how is this a critique of anything?
>>
>>70097888
Cracks me up how through the entire movie all the young mutants keep making comments to Mystique about what a hero, role model, etc she is...

Christ, I'm fucking tired of her being shoehorned in as not only a good guy, but the main character.

>inb4 "She didnt have much screentime guyz!"
True, but as of the end of this movie she's literally in Cyclops' role as lead under Xavier
>>
>>70098086
That's because Cyclops is like 16, Quicksilver has been NEET for over a decade, and Hank is too busy being useful.
>>
>>70098060
>Storm
>Literally an African priestess from Kenya's jungle
>Now a Middle Eastern street-urchin
Gee I wonder...
>>
>>70098126

Should've built better blast doors
>>
>>70098185
Uh no, her backstory was always a Cairo street-urchin.
>>
>>70076113
>>characters are 20-30 years older than DOFP but haven't aged
they literally said in the movie it's been 10 years since DOFP
>>
>>70098185

This a troll? Go read her origin, she was originally from America who lost her parents during a trip to Africa at an early age and had to become a thief to survive.
>>
>>70096869
Beast was harmless, and a cute.

If anything, Havok was the weakling.
>>
>>70097880
>>70098009
Humans have low chances of having mutant kids. However all mutants have mutant kids. This is in the comics, but basicaly the same for the movies.
>>
This shit looks so fucking gay its not even funny. I bet even the porn parody will have better production values

>Wait a minute, wasn't he sealed under the pyramid for 5000 years? How could he steal powers during that time? Also how could Moira heard of him if he was gone for 5000 years?
He had all those powers before he was sealed, he literally had just been sealed during the acquiring of a new power, super healing, which made him live longer, as one of the horsmen also said in the intro.

And Moira knew about him because she was observing those fanatics for a while, that were trying to find Apocalypse

Wolverine is no leader. Scott is the leader and Storm is second in command in the comics.
>>
New Scott, Jean and Storm are better. That already is a good indication for the future, if Fox doesn't fuck things.

They need a decent Rogue now
>>
>>70095365
He was basically showboating. And got his shit slapped for doing so.
>>
>>70098185
That is literally her real back story, moron. Storm was indeed a street rat/crook in Ciro before she ran into Shadow King, who used her for her powers.
>>
Why was fast guy dressed same as was in ten years ago?
>>
>>70099586

Fast runner, slow fashion sense.

>>70075186
Young Magneto and Prof X were literally what made First Class interesting. The less we got of them, the more people generally disliked the film. It's now the Jennifer Lawrence Show and nobody gives a fuck about that.

He is a loser that lives in his mom's basement.

Why the fuck didn't they just unleash Jean in the first place. This film was utter, utter trash, and I'm just mad at myself for expecting it to be decent.
>>
>>70099362
Not really. You don't need even more characters to be main characters when those 3, plus Nightcrawler have enough possibilities for 2 movies.

Because he was teaching Jean how to control her powers, and by urging her to unleash her powers disregarding the consequences he'd put all them in danger, but it must be done because she safety of the world > 3 people

Thank god for directors like Singer and Snyder who ban them from set, true visionaries who care to bring kino to cape

Her role wasn't substancial, but her presence, her half arsed acting and ~the hero shit were annoying. They should have let her die fighting in the end
>>
>>70087793
Uh...uh...I liked Jubilee...
>>
So is there a reasonable explanation how Beast's appearance is different in this than it was in FC and DOFP? Is this like their way of transitioning him into Frasier Beast?
>>
Worse than X3 tbqhf
>>
>>70103558
Nah, bruh. Nothing can top that in pure shitiness.
>>
>>70075186
just saw this movie.

it's honestly a 9/10, I really enjoyed it.
>>
Why did Xavier tried to kill the mutants in the last scene? did he fear their powers and realized the world would be safer without them? I really wasn't expecting that.
>>
This film was awesome. Loved the scenes with Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Nightcrawler. Awesome 80s aesthetic. Also the quicksilver scene was GOAT. I like how Apocalypse and his four horseman were brooding around too. They looked really cool. This film was well shot. It felt cinematic unlike Civil War. Bryan Singer is consistent and knows how to make a good movie.
>>
>>70103722
I think they were foreshadowing that Apocalypse did take over his body in the end. 3deep5me lol
>>
>>70103722
He was preparing them for training to test and improve their abilities.
>>
You guys just didn't understand the movie

What? no way lel. Those robots were huge and could easily smash most of the mutants. That's reckless child endangerment at best. Who authorized this curriculum?

I think it's just fatigue, people doesn't have time to waste their money on every capeshit that Hollywood pukes.

>>70103722
Are you new to X-men? That's the new training facility that was built to help them hone their skills. It's known to be pretty dangerous, and lethal if you're not on your game. Charles will stop it before it gets that far though.

You guys are such unhappy little cunts, I can't even.
Basically one of every three posts is to complain about Jennifer Lawrence. You're too stupid to take your hatred-reddit-googles for a second and enjoy a perfectly fine fun movie.

Such sad lives your must lead, to focus all your energy bashing someone who literally doesn't know you exist.
I never minded her potato body or the weird mole she has on her cheek. I was there to see mutants and there's plenty of that.

I feel like critics messed up the scores for BvS, X-Men, and CW. CW should have XA's score, XA BvS's, and BvS CW's.
