Unpleasintly amazing you mean?

Being faithful to the source material really only appeases a small portion of the audience.
Just make a good movie.

I think the larger point is that if the source material is good, being faithful to it already gives you the foundation of a good movie.

Eh I will still go see this one. Deadpool is great. DOFP and X2 are good, X1, Wolverine, and Forst Class are ok. Origins Wolverine and X3 are bad. Im guessing Apocalypse goes in with the ok group.
Already did happen with the Iron Man movies.

Don't forget all of a sudden since BvsS came out Batman Forever and Batman and Robin are now good movies so I expect one of those in the top 20.
When I saw those poll results...man I want to say I was surprised, but the hyperbole of the internet is no surprise

A large number of people strenuously disagreeing with you isn't evidence of hyperbole. It just means you have a different take.
It's not a conspiracy or anything.
I voted for Thor 2.
I have to disagree. I mean, It's not like a big deal or anything, but I also don't think everyone's vote in threads like that are altruistic either, same for similar type of threads. Could be something as innocuous like "I kind of liked that movie but no one is voting for it, its not in my top three but I will vote for it anyways to get it in the list" or the simple "i'm going to troll this poll and make this awful movie part of the list" Hyperbole and internet are not foreign to each other.
I liked Thor 2, I think it gets too much hate but, whatever. I wouldn't have voted for it because its not in my top three or five.
Wait, what are you talking about? I was talking about the stupid poll between BvS and Batman and Robin!
But saying Batman V Superman is a worse movie than Batman and Robin? Start to think that that's just fools caught in they feelings
Damn straight, dats our boy Piotr.
Whereas I don't know whatever the fuck this is supposed to be in the bottom.
Why is Colossus eatting? When he is transformed he doesn't have any internal organs, only some weird energy that sustains him
Breakfast is most important meal of day. Good for bones.
The superhero movie poll being quoted? It's late, I can't tell if you are messing with me or not.
He needs the iron.
ba dum-dum
I know hes organic steel not iron, don't hit me with the comic tome of knowledge
You guys mean Thor: The Dark World, right?
Next you'll be calling this movie X-Men 9.
There are PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEENTY of people that already try this with the MCU. The first thing you need to do is group. Which is why they say it has a 'formula' or that they are 'all the same'. After that they just say the movie sucks, which applies to the entirety if they are all the same lmao.
Because breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Yep. Very happy to disagree with you completely.
Keep your opinion on those films, and I'll keep mine.

I honestly think DOFP holds up much better than Avengers.

Steel is an alloy, with iron as its primary ingredient. Your pun holds up to science.

aiite I'm out then. I'm not really a fan of bad X-Men movies. Most of them have been disappointing to me and nothing in the trailers leading up to this make me think this would be any different. In a rare turn of events, it appears the trailer actually accurately tells us just how bad this movie really is.
It's funny how the best X-Men movie is Deadpool, and is the highest grossing even with being faithful to the source material. Unlike whatever the hell Singer puts out.
I really enjoyed DOFP but I really want the X-Men to go Deadpool's direction (again not the R rating but more being faithful to the material).
I think what helped Deadpool's success even more was how they understood the characters. Where Snyder demonstrates how much he loves comics by recreates the panels, Tim Miller and Ryan Reynolds took Deadpool and Colossus, did their own thing with it while staying true to what that character is about.
Yep, and Singer just does whatever he wants to suit a scene.
Yeah the Quicksilver scene in DOFP was cool but that was it for Pietro in that one movie.

It wasn't at the end of our screening, but apparently there will be a post-credits stinger at the end of Apocalypse.

This made me chuckle.
AOU is not better balanced than DOFP. Also after rewatching Avengers it really doesn't hold up that much. The only reason people give it high praise is due to just having all the avengers together on the big screen for the first time. Otherwise I just consider it a good movie than a actual great one.
Heck I put GOTG and Winter Soldier above it. I even found Iron Man 3 more enjoyable after rewatching it a few times.
Avengers holds up great, bro!
But yeah, AoU isn't better balanced than DoFP. The script is less dumb though (but arguably more annoying because of quips).
That's not an unpopular opinion at all

Haha, I thought you were quoting Dr. Strange for a moment.
Yo, those Apocalypse lines are next level cheesy, though.
I hope he's some level of badass in the actual film, because he certainly doesn't look the part.

Do you really want? I don't think cable can survive the Singer effect.
Deadpool source material sucks compared to X-Men's source material (throughout the decades).
But I guess Deadpool was an easier movie to make. While in X-Men they had 10 or so characters to juggle.
Lets keep cable away from singer, and in the safe hands of Miller

Wasnt dotfp this devisive as welland had the same kind of reviews?
no DOFP is generally very well regarded
No, DoFP is one of the best reviewed superhero films ever. This is not getting the same kind of reception. Not even close
No, DOFP had great reviews.
X-men films utterly fail in being ensemble films, and how many chances have they had to perfect them and develop more then 4 characters in a cast of many more, a good chunk of whom appear in multiple films.
Avengers holds up and AoU>>DoFP
