Trailer was average. Music was average. Editing was meh... that's why the drool and gloom feeling after the credits rolled.
I WANT TO LOVE THIS SO MUCH BUT IT JUST AIN'T... THERE... something is missing. Im not sure yet. This was a solid effort but after a year of trailers that has folks jumping up and down and crying and clapping - this is the best they could do? After that BAD ASS, HARD ASS DEADPOOL TRAILER... all the Star Wars trailers, the first Supes v Bats trailer, that Triple 9 trailer, that Suicide Squad trailer STILL rings in my ears and they couldnt do better than this?
Apocalypse is indeed blue, not purple - like he looked on those set photos but everyone knows he sposed to be grey. They don't wanna make him an ancient black Kemetian - fine, make him grey - like he looks in the comics - like old brown skin, a thousand years old and withered from cosmic omnipotent energy, and keep it moving. And his armor is too damn big for his little body.
Storm has her poses down, she looks like Hally Berry, Nightcrawler looks like young Alan, Beast looks more and more like X3 Beast, new Jean fits but she still can't act, Im almost waiting for Little Finger to come out behind her with his hand up her snatch. Jenn Law is almost as pretty as Rebecca but she still got that baby fat on her face and they featuring her ass too much. New Cyclops looks shitty - he is nowhere near as good looking and square jawed as old Cyclops. They fucked that character up from the first movie on until now I see.
Fassbender can do NO WRONG. He is imitating Ians version of Magneto to a T and every pose, every speech, every threat is made like he got Malcolm in the back of his mind cueing him. Perfect casting.
McAvoy IS XAVIER now. He is doing the same thing that Fassbender is doing - he idolizes Sir Patrick so this casting has me sold. From the first movie on, it makes sense - he is just SO emotional in the role, I love it. I can watch the movie just to see him and Fassbender bag debates out.
Still not sure about the script, I aint a fan of mind control storylines, that shit is played now mane, we all smarter than this. AND, you rob the story of its drama and make the characters not responsible for their actions anymore. That's a huge problem in a film script that's sposed to be the seal on this trilogy.
Matt Vaugh did wonders with First Class... Days of Futures Past gave Singer a way back in but I hope he doesn't fuck this one up by going off the beaten path too far.
Next trailer has to impress. I love the effort, please pay off.
oNE
All fair points but all of us should know by now a TRAILER is JUST a TRAILER and is definitely not an accurate representation on what the movie will be. As you know there are countless examples of really good Trailers behind so bad movies. They've made two good movies so far so I will give them the a fair chance.
