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

Theyll probably just adapt the whole Magneto/Asteroid M storyline..

and knowing Fox they probably already contacting Taylor for Dazzler as we speak :rolleyes:
it'll be a great magnetic space cloud... that magneto is controlling and threatening the earth with - without ever leaving his basement bathroom
 
These comic movies/shows really should write themselves. I watch the season finale of the Flash last night and it was FANTASTIC writing. I haven't kept up with the entire season but good writing goes a longer way than a big budget. Not to say you can be cheap with these movies.
 
I saw the movie the other night. Shit was trash. There is only really 2 fight sequences both towards the end and it's a boring fight. Apocalypse was corny as hell. The wolverine part was cool, Quicksilver running through everything part was cool but we already saw that in the last movie.

But above everything the fucked up part is I saw it on bootleg already and have advanced tickets for Friday because wifey wants to see it. If I tell her I watched the movie without her I'll never hear the end of it so now I got to sit through this shit show of a movie again and act like I ain't see it.

Fall asleep and just say you had an exhausting day at work
 
Wait apocalypse was post rendered to be naturally way taller than everyone else???????

Lol
Not really. He looks rather short to me. Certainly not an imposing figure by any ones definition. So if they rendered him tall then id imagine he is a midget in real life.

There's only one thing I am waiting to see.
The end.
If they do something that shouldn't be done dont even trip I won't be in any xmen threads unless I'm making it myself
Ends with all Xmen basically combining their efforts/powers toward him (except Olivia Munn) and ending him....Gene Grey goes Phoenix for like 10 seconds.. Storm and her accent were fucking laughable.

Also, im purposely spoiling it for to insure you dont go out and support this bullshit. I fell asleep mid way, woke and finished it and didnt bother rewinding what i missed. Its a bore.

In the end -in your opinion -Why did Storm switch teams?

oh you mean like apparently kill Apocalypse in a pheonix event and then only have Jean say "He still exists I feel him?"
or having a visual of Storm Jean Cyke and Mags teaming up with everything they have to defeat a purple midget- ?
btw plot wise -this midget did NOTHING bad- ass enough in the movie to warrant need of such effort

i wasn't going to see a movie made by a pedophile i work with kids.

and apocalypse died?

good. so they completely fucked up the only thing that they had. no vision.
i guarantee you thanos is going to wreck some shit and not die in the 1st movie he appears in.

apocalypse didn't even die in the cartoon they found a loophole to trap him in time. he's still alive lol.

im salty.

doing nothing bad isn't good enough for apocalypse. apocalypse literally changed how i view villains.
him and frieza.

before that, it was always you fight, in the end its wrapped up in a bow and then you go on to the next episode. every villain every cartoon. at the end the joker would be in jai, penguin would be in jail. etc etc etc etc every episode.

apocalypse was the first dude to achieve his goals. 1st episode he's on he's like we gonna kidnap xavier and lock his punk ass up. im like yea..
HE DID IT. at the end of the episode him and jean are locked the fuck up and he's like yea let's keep it going.

few weeks later they're like lets go back in time and destroy his chamber so he can't regenerate.
wolverine and ol boy go back in time destroy it. im like damn they got him!

Apocalypse goes back further to before they destroyed the chamber and regenerates anyway! and then tells them about it. tells them they are fools.


it took xmen from the past present and future to CONTAIN this dude.

and singer killed him in one movie.

Hell they still haven't even given an explanation of his full powerset or even for how he is able to coerce the 4 horsemen into working for him. If he's able to mind control them then why does he need Prof X? How he created the 4 horsement was beyond corny as hell too. Storm gets her iconic silver hair cuz Apocalypse gave it to him? Angel gets metal wings to replace his organic wings outta no where? No true example of how Magneto or Psylocke were enhanced and since when does Psylocke create psychic whips instead of just her iconic dagger/katana? Like I said before, typical Bryan Singer shit.

just fucked it up
im going to get a cam version and make a version of the movie we can enjoy
 
nope he is shorter than most

only grows on a psychic plane while fighting Prof X
Oh.. i forgot that part... The previews tricked us. His growth factor was during Proff. X mind fuckery scene.. so theres also that.

In the end -in your opinion -Why did Storm switch teams?
Man when i tell you fell asleep and woke up and finished i wasnt bullshitting... I was literally watching and waiting for it to end... IIRC, she switched because she saw Mystique getting choked out and that was her childhood hero. She had a Mystique poster on the wall like You had a MJ poster when you was a kid.

I think he still exists was about Proff X when he was in the coma for 90 seconds and she revived him with her magical touch.

i wasn't going to see a movie made by a pedophile i work with kids.

and apocalypse died?
Yea. They Voltroned their powers toward him, Gene went Phoenix and ...Layers of skin burned off down to bone and then he disintegrated into nothing.

There was no indication that he mind controlled them and he said specifically that he doesn't have that ability. They followed him because they wanted to.

which is bullshit. straight unmitigated bullshit.

they just ruined the franchise by killing him. you bring him out because you plan on having a sequel at least. this should have been damn near an origin movie where he builds the horsemen and we get a detailed vision of how everything is going to go for the next one
 
the concept of mystique being storm's hero makes me upset.
As it should. Her entire identity and persona in these films is fucking awful.. They literally said "fuck the comics.. We just gonna use the names".

Oh, almost forgot... Proff X goes bald because Acrapolypse for whatever reason decides to steal his abilities on some invasion of the body snatchers shit... The process gets interrupted halfway thru and his hair falls out somehow..

Yes.

Man, fuck fox and Sony..just partner up with marvel please and let marvel do the shit!!!!!!!!!is that too much to ask? ??????

In that case there rationale for suddenly being so loyal was just as cheesy as when he was imbuing them with enhanced powers.
 
I've never been excited for any X-Men movie but I've seen them all in the theater and enjoyed them except for X-Men 3. I'll see this at some point this weekend or next. I'll decide on rather or not I like it for myself.

Yes.

so they were in there high the entire time then?
the thing that makes it so bad is that hollywood is notorious for scrapping shit, rewriting shit, editing shit.

think about the steps.

you have to write a script. edit it, rewrite it, get outside eyes to edit it, finalize it, then cast the shit, find locations, shoot the shit, edit it, and then put it out

and through all of that it never occurred to them that shit shit is stupid?
