exactlynah....let Marvel do a reboot and make it this:
no backstory on the original team.....just drop in with them getting fucked up on a mission and cut to Prof X having to recruit the new team. This or just dead the franchise.
X-Men: Apocalypse' Review: It's A Franchise-Killing Disaster
- Thread starter keone
- Start date
Man, I turned this bullshit off after 3 minutes and I'm probably one of the few that actually enjoyed BvS. I hated how they just threw Apocalypse entire origin story (Which would have made for a better film and story) out the window and already had mutants existing before him. Garbage man!
This kind of reminded me of X-Men 3 all the characters just standing around profiling not doing shit.
There was no character development I really did not give a shit about any of the characters.
And a great villain like Apocalypse was just a shell of the comic book character

Yeah, I like that.
Days of future Past should have Been the last of Singer's movies completing his version of the XMen.
Wolverine 3 should be the last of Fox/Singer XMen run overall.
Deadpool should be used as the beginning of the rebooted XMen like you mentioned.
I all ways hit up the matinee. So that's only a $6 or so lost. I wasn't excited for it before the bad press. I may pass it up and just stick with TMNT next week and Suicide Squad in August for my go to see movies.
The New Storm Reached Out To Halle Berry For Advice, It Did Not Go Well
Shipp shares this anecdote with Yahoo Movies, but quickly defends Berry and even shoulders some of the blame for HOW she might have reached out and asked for assistance. Word of advice? Don’t sound like a crazy person:
All of the being said, Alexandra Shipp explained to Yahoo that it was important for her NOT to turn this Storm into a Halle Berry impersonation, summarizing:I was like, ‘All right, hold on. People aren’t going to want to see you be Halle Berry. Otherwise they’re going to want Halle, you know? You got to find your own Storm. You got to find who you think Storm is in these moments and in this time in her life.’
Did she succeed? We can find out when X-Men: Apocalypse hits theaters on May 27, with Alexandra Shipp as Storm, one of the Four Horsemen of the new Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac).

One reason we’re excited for Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Apocalypse is because the sequel gives new actors the chance to step into familiar roles that have been played by iconic performers over the years. We’re getting younger versions of Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler and Storm – X-Men who were part of Singer’s first few X-Men movies, and are getting a unique opportunity to reset because of the events ofX-Men: Days of Future Past. That doesn’t mean that the past wants to help the present, however. Sometimes, the past just wants to move on.
Or so it seems, for when Alexandra Shipp, the new Storm, reached out to Halle Berry, the original Storm, for some superhero advice, she reportedly didn’t get a reply.

I reached out to her. You know, Halle’s got her show and her family and stuff. So I understand, she’s got her thing going on. Also, I think that my email might have scared her because it was a lot of word vomit. Like, ‘Oh, my God, I love you, you’re so amazing. What does your hair smell like? What perfume do you wear? If you had a favorite deodorant scent, what would it be?’
Yeah, we can see why Halle Berry might have hit delete on that email… if her people even let it through. Even still, I’m not sure what Berry could have told Alexandra Shipp about playing Storm that isn’t already on the screen. Berry played the weather-controlling mutant in numerous X-Men films, even giving a small cameo role to Days of Future Past. And if Shipp really wanted to know the proper way to play Storm, she could have referenced the comic books, where Ororo Munroe has been gracing the pages of Marvel’s superhero stories since May 1975. Isn’t that a better inspiration?

They made a bullshit ass scene where he was fighting Silver Samurai and SS cut his claws off using a super heated sword and then started to drain some of the adamantium out of him through the holes. It was beyond ridiculous and cheesy

Jesus. And SS is pretty much a Sentinel Samurai in that movie right?

You know what's funny? Years ago I envisioned the movies being like this....
The opening would be sort of like this:
The beginning you'd see a computer generated map. Just the screen with blinking lights (Beep! Beep! Beep!) and different points of light on the map globally. The camera zooms in on Africa...
A group of people are praying in the middle of fields and it starts to rain...on top of a large pier you see a woman in the distance with long white hair hands outstretched...a voice says..."Ororo...Monroe.....you are needed" The woman turns around slowly and the camera zooms in on her face....
(Cut away) BEEP! BEEP! BEEEP! We are back to the map on screen again - Russia, in the middle of cold fields and small farm houses. Late evening...the camera shows only a wheel chair's wheel...in the distance you see a farm house....a family is arguing inside. trying to decide what to do about the days happenings.
(In Russian)
Father: They will come for him. Everyone has seen what he has done!
Mother: He saved his sister! He is our son! It's not his fault...
The son, visibly large wearing coveralls with rips in them is in the corner with his head down huddled next to his little sister....His little sister (blonde) scared is holding on to him tightly...tears are running down her cheeks.
Outside - The same wheelchair passes a a destroyed tractor. The wheelchair passes it (camera from the corner) as it pulls closer to the house.
Father: He must Leave here. It's the only way!
Mother: Nyet!
BLAM! The door slams open, the silhouette of a person in a wheelchair is in the doorway...The family looks on as the heavy winds pour in from outside....a voice over speaks directly to the young man...."Piotr Nikolaievitch...you are needed"......
(Cut away) BEEP! BEEP! BEEEP!
-Canada-
...You get the point.....

I thought about mutants existing before him was a plot hole but he transfers his essence into a new body. They didn't show his origin, just one insrance of him going to another body.

Yep but even worse. The guy who operates it is an old fart Wolverine saved back in WW2 who assumes the adamantium is what allowed Wolverine to heal and stay so young. His MO is to get the adamantium from Wolverine in order to restore his own youth. The bullshit of bullshits is as he's draining the adamantium, he actually does start getting younger.
Now if that's not shitty writing I don't know what is.
And now these Fox faggots are gonna attempt Old Man Logan? Who the fuck pays these guys to make such awful decisions? With none of the other Marvel characters, I guess they just gonna make folks up like they did in in the first Wolverine flick since that worked out so well. Dumb asses. If they were smart they would do the story where Alpha Flight comes to bring Logan back to Department H. Its a good story that they can tell with characters they actually have rights to that would look bad ass on film.
That shit is still a plot hole. The whole idea bout him transferring his essence to other host bodies and adding their powers to his own was dumb to begin with. Hell they also ignored the fact that at the end of DOFP, he was a blue skinned teenager but in this he's a young Charlton Heston looking ass mofo
And even then, he spent too much time fucking around with Twinkies and shit and let Havock get axed. Cuzz getting his theme song ready and shit.
Just thought about this, the way they introduced CAC-a-lips, there will be no connection to Sinister who's the villain for the next movie. It's like lets just have 2 hours of bullshit and kill off the bad guy and a bunch of other characters. Killing Angel was stupid cause he's the one that rebels against CAC-Fraudulous in the first place. They could have set this up so much better, and had a rich story line for years to come, but they cast the wrong dude, executed it poorly, and every single movie from now on will be a 1 off.
Disgusting

Glad I didn't see that bullshit in theatre.
i was expecting to see the original 4 Horsemen.....(Death, Pestilence, War, & Famine)
well not so much War, because that was actually the Hulk, whom Apocalypse transformed into War.
But then im like......wtf is this? this aint the four horsemen, this is horse shit.
After the first Wolverine movie, I already told myself I wouldn't pay to see the 2nd one in theaters. My hunch paid off.
Word, no homage was paid to the original 4 horsemen names or abilities. He just selected 4 mutants and was like aiight let's roll out
Missed opportunity to make Angle BLUE!! But I guess they filled their blue mutant quota this movie. The cartoons had writing that was ahead of it's time. Wolverine and the X-Men that was on nick was actually a great cartoon, much better than X Men evolution imo. They completely fucked up Bishops character who was actually the main character of the DOFP arc in the books*.
*Edit: in the cartoon, Kitty Pride was the main character in the comic

And what the fuck were his powers? Sand manipilation? This ninja didn't grow or alter his physical form at all. And what now? Magneto could rip the Earth apart if he wants? Storm and Magneto get Zen Kai boosts forever? What about Chuck, does he keep his too? Olivia? Just fuck it, I'm out. BVS and this shit are just really bad movies.
CACalypse by far
Well, I think Martha has something to say about this. And killing Clark/Doomsday/Jimmy Olsen is much worse that killing En Sabbah Nur, Alex Summers and Archangel. Both plots were ass, but Lex Luthor Jr. is one of the worst villains to ever appear on screen.
this thread got me dead haahah cac a lips
It would have been waaay worser if they had gone with their original idea of having Professor X himself as a "horseman."
I take back everything I said about Batman vs Superman........
I take back everything I said about Batman vs Superman........
same here bruh
same here bruh
Fox need to revert the rights back to Marvel,because they're not even trying to making a good X-Men movie
Anyone,who watch this bullshit in the theater,I don't feel sorry for them at all.
Why the fuck didn't he choose Calibak? You're looking for mutants and you leave this guy for Psylocke? This just makes me mad as fuck!
And ironically Caliban was one of the 4 horsemen in the comics
I know!!! I hate Singer and Fox
Sad thing is as much bullshit as this movie is filled with, it's still beyond better than The Last Stand and both of the Wolverine movies
Haven't watched Apocalypse yet, but I didn't hate Last Stand. It was the weakest of the first three, but that's on Singer for leaving a mess for Ratner. X-MEN Last Stand wasn't great, but it's not the worst X-Film.
The Wolverine joints sucked though.
you're crazy none of those shitty movies had an incoherent opening, and Last Stand and Wolverine 1 had more cohesive stories and MUCH better dialogue than I just saw in Apocalypse
