X-Men: Apocalypse' Review: It's A Franchise-Killing Disaster

This pleases me.

And look how horrendous Beasts makeup/costume continues to be. Electric blue face paint, wig, and fury mittens and shoes... all on a slim build cac frame.. Atrocious. :smh:
These reboots are killing it. Should've kept the original cast. I really wanted to see how that whole Jean Grey/Phoenix transformation and story would have played out. Also, Wolverine finding and learning about himself...:smh::smh::smh: Hollywood just don't give a fuck about story lines.
 
All these comic book movies are played the fuck out. Cant wait till they stop making them.
I feel you totally. But, it's like Hollywood hit the lotto with these comic book movies... Hundreds of millions and BILLIONS at the box office. This is just the beginning. They got DC comic's movie line-up.

They better find some replacement directors for the Flash and Aquaman films,since one walked off the former and the other director (supposedly) getting ready to do the same for the latter one

I remember telling people none of these movies will be made (with the WB's track record of not actually doing anything) and I have the feeling I was more right than I thought.

my guess is 5 are going to happen... in addition to the Batman
JL, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern Corps, Shazam, Aquaman
 
Awesome! :lol:

Well hopefully this leads to the rights going back to Marvel now.
Unless this film does Pootie Tang numbers, those rights aren't going anywhere!

"Days of Future Past'' made money

Domestic: $233,921,534 31.3%
Foreign: $513,941,241 68.7%

Worldwide: $747,862,775

Now I think that there is suppose to be a big announcement at Comic-Con, most likely Fantastic Four might be going back to Marvel or Fox will cut a deal with Disney.

The Russo Bros. said that they want Wolverine in a future MCU film, so who knows what deals might be going on behind close doors now:dunno:

I honestly don't give a fuck about seeing none of those movies seeing that list. Asides from maybe Suicide Squad as just bein' sum'n to watch. They doin' bad.
 
It's crazy how white men are allowed to fail over and over and over again without repercussion.

Bryan Singer stinks, period. He's the Marvel equivalent to David Goyer.

Matthew Vaughn wrote and directed X-Men First Class and it was arguably the second best X-Men movie. Then Fox kicks him out to hand the reigns back to that faggit Singer who basically stuck with the script for DOFP which wasn't terrible. Now this fag gets to ruin the series again.

One of the reasons Sony let Marvel borrow the film rights to Spidey was because all the negative press they got from that hack and the pressure was on to get a deal. Unfortunately I don't think Fox will let Marvel get a crack at the X-Men. FF more likely. They'll just ride Deadpool until the wheels fall off with X-Force and New Mutants.

Fuck..

DC/WB needs to figure out their approach going forward. BVS was a huge disappointment in every way. They signed the Rock on to Shazaam about two years ago and put the movie away until 2019. WTF! It's like they didn't want Marvel to offer him a role. DC played themselves. They went talking shit to the guy who was sitting down. Marvel stood up like a giant and now DC had to back down.
 
"The big disappointment of Apocalypse in terms of performances is Jennifer Lawrence. I’m in no position to say whether she tried or not, but she is right smack in the middle of an ensemble of actors that are all clearly giving this everything they’ve got and she feels disconnected from it all – which is especially unfortunate because the Apocalypse script gives her a good deal to work with when it comes to Raven/Mystique building relationships, accepting who she is and figuring out her place within the X-Men."

Mystique is a REAL actor's dream role...because it is so DIFFICULT to play her when she is actually herself

she is TRULY a blank slate...but a smart director is going to show how she is LOST and HIDES within her self and EVERY face she wears leaves its mark on her psyche.

wonder if that chick who plays Orphan Black is available.

truth
 
You enjoy the Bridges of Madison County don't you

Mystique is a villain and a good one...why is Fox obsessed with making her an Xman...and a leader at that? It's like...who the fuck is writing this bullshit? They will never outright give the rights back to Marvel, but if they smart they
make a deal to get some of that Infinity War loot. Can you imagine what the Russo's could do with Reed and Sue, Scott, Jean, Logan, Spidey, Doom and all the rest of those characters on top of what they got?

How long does Sony and fox have the rights to these characters?

Not just the Russo's though...

there MANY talented writers and directors that would do those characters justice.

And besides his affinity for raping innocent children Singer is a darn good directs, but he got lost trying to be DIFFERENT...

At this point in the game both creativity financially critically and fan wise I think it is best for ALL these companies to work out deals with Disney/Marvel.

Disney has made a a new generation of comic book readers who have NEVER actually read a comic book they understand tie-ins crossovers continuity re-boots...everything.

So continued separation sup par product etc is just going to frustrate fans and potentially KILL the golden goose.

Hell Theater Owners need to get in on this and force Fox and Sony hands...cause this will DIRECTLY effect them too...

with raising ticket prices and the every expanding high speed internet and flat screens and surround sound at home?

This bad movies are really gonna decimate their collective bottom line soon...very soon.

Yeah but I'm primarily taking about for Infinity War 1 & 2. The Russo's said they plan to have triple the amount of characters as Civil War in those films. Makes me think they might be tryin to work something out. Hoping so at least.
 
Unfortunately I think civil war is the benchmark for comic book movies now. Anything not close to it is a fail now. So good luck to almost any comic book movies that come after it.

Nah...there's room for all kinds....Guardians, Ant Man and Deadpool proved that. Shit just gotta be good...done by people who care about the genre and not just tryin to cash in on it. Dr Strange looks nothing at all like Civil War, but my bet is that it will be good and well received by fans and critics alike.
 
I always suspected Lawrence would become a larger problem, not just in X-Men but in general. She's become so unlikable off set it's very hard to disconnect from her performances. I'll still go to see it but when I get a chance. It was never must see for me anyway. What I can't believe is they're going ahead with the FF movie. Although I suppose it can't get much worse than the first one. What a cluster fuck that was. If and when Marvel and the mouse get these two properties back it would be epic.

The first FF was infinitely better than the most recent one. It's a kiddie version, but taking it for what it is, it wasn't that bad. The last one however...epically terrible. Crazy thing is it was decent up until they got their powers, then turned to utter shit. How do you even do that?
 
my guess is 5 are going to happen... in addition to the Batman
JL, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern Corps, Shazam, Aquaman

Wonder Woman (already in the can) justice League pushed back a few times. The rest won't happen....that's my prediction

Marvel releases movies sometimes twice a year? WB so shady they talking about releasing fims 2 years apart and 3 years from now. SMH
