Surprisingly, it's all the same people.

No Vaughn involvement.
Looks like Singer moved from introspective character stuff to a heavy fighting action emphasis, which he's never really done well as far as mutant on mutant action before.

You know, season 5 of Game of Thrones might have been worth it for this gif. All I need now is a similar gif from What We Do in the Shadows.
Already? Faster than I thought.
It has the writer from that awful F4 2015 movie.
I'm talking about what you're talking about.
Batroc. But it seems now you wanna talk about Winter Soldier.
Yeah he was one of the main "villain" who was involved in the big climatic showdown. Usually the hero and the villain duke it out at the end for a good 5-6 minutes. That's usually how action movies work.

Yeah, same crew as DOFP, which makes these reviews all the more disappointing.
You would think they couldn't possibly fuck this up, following on the heels of such a stellar film.

This movie might still end up being certified fresh as more reviews come in. With opinions of the iflm being all over the place, I've got a feeling that I may end up enjoying it. We'll see in a few weeks.

Crossbones' plan was
to blow himself and Cap up at the same time, and he would have succeeded if Scarlet Witch hadn't been there
Which reviewer said that?
Where could I read up on your review?

Some of the reviews confirm my biggest fear I had: Singer simply can't juggle bigger casts. It has always been a problem in his X-Men movies that mostly revolved around 3 to max. 4 characters with everyone else being peripheral at best but now it seems to finally have gotten the best of him. It's time for Singer to step back and only produce these movies.

Outside of the MCU, that is absolutely true.
Blade Trinity
Superman 3
X-Men 3
Spider-Man 3
Fantastic Four 2015 (okay this is cheating a bit as they're all bad and this isn't a threequel, but this is by far the worst)
The Dark Knight Rises (okay it's not the same as these others, but it was definitely disappointing compared to its predecessors)
Man wtf? I'm baffled then. I didn't think Vaughn's uninvolement would have that much of an effect. If it ain't broke...

Choosing to ignore Iconic comic book look of Apoc for one shitty design, was first failure, second failure Apoc default height before growing is 7 feet, then there's the voice it's pathetic..
Certified fresh is different than regular fresh. A movie can't be certified fresh if it ever falls below 70% RT.

That happens when all the reviews are saying the same thing, even the positive ones. Consensus sometimes do change as the more reviews are added.
So it is a bit of a wild card at this point.

It's crazy how these execs and writers still can't get these movies right.
But 2 is the best one

He was a fun Human Torch but he always looked too old for the part for me.
This is so good, it is not fair how much use this will get.
I never thought DoFP was all that stellar to begin with. It had some good performances and some entertaining action, but it was more an act of working with everything that came before it, including the comic influence, rather than pulling off anything great on its own merits.
The original ideas felt like the worst parts, minus QS which sounds like the extent of the creativity was that one time.
DoFP got by on the novelty and pulling that off more than being an actual good film. Singer made some good X-Men films, but those same films made now just aren't going to feel fresh. Even Vaughn barely brought anything new to the table.
I hope they just reboot this franchise for real after this and Wolverine 3. After Deadpool, this franchise seems like Weekend at Bernie's and that is not acceptable in 2016.
lol

I like how that goddamn Evans of Steel gif is in all the comic threads now
Also I'd like to officially accuse BobbyRoberts of not actually seeing this movie

Yeah reading reviews it seems to have a bad second half which I understand the ratings. The second half of a film leaves more of an impression than anything else and can make 2/5 or 3/5 reviews.

Its for print, so it won't actually go up until the Tuesday before it opens.
Also, that .gif is pretty amazing.
Should we be happy the MoS and Chris Evans are being replaced or terrified of this new combination?
Oh, the latter. Definitely.
Excelsior!

I don't understand these caveats. X2 was muddled and drab and DofP is a fucking 5 Gum commercial.
They are not good movies.

This gif is what giants do.
This gif is going to get years of mileage. Years!
