Can't imagine the Disney superhero factory making a memorable film. Say what you want about Apocalypse, it at least has an actual director who has a handle on the craft.
>>
What is the appeal of another big bad guy vs the good guys capeshit flick? Especially in a franchise with literally zero likable characters and no development? Civil War makes sense because it's good guys vs good guys in a morally ambiguous battle.
>>
>>70451148
that's where you're wrong, X-Men has always had likable characters.
>>
>>70451146
All the actual forward-moving plotlines happen in the Avengers movies. The shit they push out in between are just fillers to pay for a jew's holiday trip

What is the appeal of stories at all?
>Especially in a franchise with literally zero likable characters and no development?
For a film juggling 30 characters in 2 hours, there was enough development. This is X-Men, not Mad Men.
>Civil War makes sense because it's good guys vs good guys in a morally ambiguous battle.
Sounds like a real fucking bore.
>>
>>70451146
Funny because it's Singer the one who always ends up making a X-Men vs Magneto movie.
It's obvious he didn't want to make this one and he just did it to get a budget for that 20k leagues under the sea movie he wanted to make.
>>
>>70451290
>X-Men has always had likable characters.
Wolverine, Professor X and Quicksilver, and the last one is more of a walking plot device than a character.

First Class > DOFP > Apocalypse

I think the biggest problem with Apocalypse was that the final confrontation was just shooting the bad guy with lasers and shit. This is the first X-Men movie where it was something that simple and mind numbing. Also, Sophie Turner was fucking awful and ruined every scene she was in.
>>
>>70451701
It was Metallica
>>
>>70451981
No, it's being ambitious and trying to capture the style of the 80's comic, which alternated freely between melodrama, humor, and fantastical adventure. It's not entirely successful but it's interesting, and when it works, it's X-Men.
>>
>>70452239
They got it right, even the part where Apocalypse is a gigantic jobber.

I liked days of future past more. It's lame that they basically made apocalypse's only power manipulation. The plot is also similar to the 1985 transformers movie. The lack of character development on the four horsemen is insane. I barely understood who olivia munns character and archangel were supposed to be

No. She's pretty much just exists so that women can project on to her because she's so quirky and relatable

Technically yes, and its lame to pretend otherwise. But that was probably done to show her being unsure of herself, and seeking reassurance from someone she looked up to. Maybe even her own fears and feeling inhibit her ability, maybe she asked because she could sense they were all scared, whatever.

Fuck this movie anyway.
>>
>>70452987

I dont understand either. Im watching the movie and thinking about how she wasn't mystique because she just didnt like wearing the costume and she wanted more facetime.

why was the writing so hamfisted and embarrassing?

why did they keep making big obvious wink wink refrences to the title of the movie and the characters names?

why did wolverine's weapon x costume look like it was thrown together in 10 minutes in a syfy original series prop room?

why didn't they properly set up the phoenix force if they were going to make it the crux of the ending?

why is mystique the leader of the team but has no real role in anything that happens besides somehow talking magneto out of genocide in 10 seconds by just repeating what charles said?

what was psylocke's long stare at the end of the battle supposed to signify considering she said three words the whole movie and had no shown motivation?

why did they cast sophie turner in this?

why is sophie turner allowed to act in anything?

why do people keep pretending that sophie turner is attractive?

Nah. The characterization was so weird. Like, were there any character arcs in it? The movie served to revert into Erik not to be such a dickhead, but it's nothing new for him. Mystique ended up being less bitchy and jaded and kind of also had a reversion to be more pro-mutant again? Nothing new for Charles. Nothing new for Beast. Scott established that he's kind of a prick. And the rest were pretty fucking flat. It was just so weird.

Fuck off, your liar. Someone somewhere made X-men apocalypse bad on purpose. That's the only explanation for such a drop in quality from DOFP to apocalypse. The dialogue was written by some producers son and Singer was to busy fucking boy butts to give the film any direction so it was really directed by his assistant.

Someone put effort into making Apocalypse suck on purpose.

This bears repeating. Sophie would be okay if she kept her weight down. She has one of those faces that goes to shit with an ounce of fat but is 8+/10 when its at its most trim.

She cannot act for shit though and needs to stop acting or die. Seriously. Just horribly bad. Tremendously terrible. HUGE mistake casting her.
