"Makes X-Men: The Last Stand look like the fuckin' Incredibles"

wow

 

[Kouichi]

gahdamn that is some savagery

Daaaamn that can't be true. Sounds rough.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I mean why didn't you just let Matthew Vaughn do the damn trilogy

 

[Discotheque]

smh @ Brian Singer fucking up Oscar Issac's hot streak.

boo that man!

Mojave already did that. You don't wanna see the bad Hulk hogan impersonation he does in that to pass off as a villain character

 

[Beefy]

Can't Marvel just pinch the actor who plays Quicksilver?

 

[Markitron]

Pretty surprising reaction after DOFP, I'm sure I will still enjoy it.

 

[liquidtmd]

The trailers have looked uninspiring to say the least but I could have SWORN I was just wrong and the reviews would come out solid.

Interesting

 

[A Link to the Past]

Well, maybe this will lead to a crossover between X-Men and The Avengers - surely Fox must be somewhat desperate to save the brand since this film is receiving middling reviews and Hugh Jackman is leaving.

Pretty surprising reaction after DOFP, I'm sure I will still enjoy it.

Not that I've already made up my mind, but as suggested earlier, it wouldn't be the first time that X-Men peaked at 2 and tanked at 3.

 

[brawly]

Can we get Vaugh back now? No? Okay...

 

[anaron]

Which, to be fair, is about what to expect from the X-Men series.

X2 & DoFP are two of the better superhero films so not really?

I mean why didn't you just let Matthew Vaughn do the damn trilogy

lol

First Class is shit.

 

[Cwarrior]

Movie looks awful anyways like every Bryan singer super hero movie.

As a x-men fan I've long given up on the hope of seeing a good xmen movie in my life time.

 

[pauljeremiah]

Empire has given it 2/5

[TheGreatDirector]

Everything they built...WILL FALL!

 

[Delio]

Still want to see it just to judge it for myself. One of the reviewers I watch who was super down about it from the beginning was gushing about it so I wonder how mixed it will be.

 

[harSon]

Not surprised. The trailers have looked like trash since day one :/

 

[Rymuth]

Can't Marvel just pinch the actor who plays Quicksilver?

I want Marvel to have the rights back to Wolverine.

I wanna see Hugh Jackman with RDJ and the kid that plays Spidey.

 

[Fury451]

Everything they built...WILL FALL!

It's like poetry, it rhymes.

Chicago Tribune - "X-Men: Apocalypse" -- 2 stars

There’s a joke at the expense of the long-ago, far-away third “X-Men” picture, the lousy one directed by Brett Ratner. But this one’s no gem. It’s simply large, and long (two-and-a-half hours, the usual length lately with these products). I remain unpersuaded and slightly galled by the attempts to interpolate the history, locale and tragic meaning of Auschwitz into what used to be known as popcorn movies. The dialogue has a metallic, tinny ring (where’s Magneto when you need him?). At one point Rose Byrne’s intelligence agent speculates, in her exquisitely underplayed way, on the intentions of their chief adversary. This surly, pushy Egyptian mutant god routine might well “end in disaster … some kind of … apocalypse.” Pause. Then McAvoy puts on his best Serious Actor face and solemnly adds: “Mmm. The end of the world.”

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Damn, I said this for BvS but I really thought people would like this film.

Also, some of these quotes are quite savage. lol

 

[Prompto]

Well thats a shame

I mean why didn't you just let Matthew Vaughn do the damn trilogy

He left on his own to work on Kingsman. It's not like they fired him. Plus Days of Future Past was better than First Class.

 

[icespide]

I want Marvel to have the rights back to Wolverine.

I wanna see Hugh Jackman with RDJ and the kid that plays Spidey.

they'd probably recast all of the x-men characters

 

[inky]

Not surprising. This is the eighth film in the X Men universe (not counting Deadpool) and only X2 is above mediocre.

DOFP is alright too, certainly better than the rest. Although it relies too much on the strength of its leads and not in balancing the cast or plot; it still manages to put them well together in the end I thought.

These impressions sound disappointing tho =/ Will still check it out.

 

[Strangelove77]

Which, to be fair, is about what to expect from the X-Men series.

I like 3 out of the 7 X-men movies I've seen and I think only 1 of those is truly great, so yeah. Seems about right.

 

[Bold One]

 

[Prologue]

I'm not even an x-men fan and I thought first class and Days Of Future Past were terrific. Really sucks to hear but I'll make my own judgement.

 

[KingBroly]

"Makes X-Men: The Last Stand look like the fuckin' Incredibles"

wow

fucking hell.

 

[NealMcCauley]

Damn some of these are straight vitriol. I mean the trailers were underwhelming but I didn't expect this.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

I loved Days of Future Past, but the trailers for this didn't get me excited. The reviews don't sound encouraging, but I'll still watch it.

 

[Broken Joystick]

That's what you get for using "Come and Get Your Love" in that Sky ad

You rat bastards

Why does Quicksilver know what Broadband is?
TELL ME SINGER

 

[Discotheque]

These reviews sound nothing like his prior xmen movies. I hate that he felt he had to adapt to the current landscape because it sounds like he kind of fell flat doing so

 

[Smokey_Run]

so those early rumours were true...


Why did release the embargo so soon?

Someone terribly misread the situation if the trend continues.

Has this ever happened in the past? A studio setting up such an early embargo date just to have it backfire on them?

 

[a916]

For his track record, I really thought Singer was going to hit another X-Men homerun.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Looks divisive...

 

[TheAutomator]

Damn. Time to cut their losses and fire Bryan Singer.

 

[Jarmel]

Looks divisive...

More like mediocre to bad.

 

[Owari]

Not surprising in the least. Hopefully they stop doing weird alternate Xmen movies now.

 

[A Link to the Past]

fucking hell.

Well to be fair X-Men 3 was, IMO, bad because it was so "offensive" to fans and fucked a lot of shit up. There were still some solid elements.

 

[johnnydrama]

I've always maintained that Bryan Singer is just not a good filmmaker. I haven't enjoyed a single X-Men movie outside of First Class. I hope Fox bring in someone more talented and "in touch" with the genre for the subsequent films.

 

[BTM]

Damn. Time to cut their losses and fire Bryan Singer.

Wat.

 

[cr0w]

X2 & DoFP are two of the better superhero films so not really?

2 out of 8, so yeah...it's foolish to expect much out of the series at this point.

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

I'm not surprised with the mixed reviews so far. Pretty much every single trailer gave me an underwhelming impression.

 

[Markitron]

Not that I've already made up my mind, but as suggested earlier, it wouldn't be the first time that X-Men peaked at 2 and tanked at 3.

Yea but this time we can't blame it on Ratner (not that Superman Returns was any better)

2 out of 8, so yeah...it's foolish to expect much out of the series at this point.

X-Men 1, First Class and the most recent Wolverine were all good to different extents. I'd say the ratio before this film is 5/7.

 

[anaron]

If Ottman continues to be amazing at least the score will be great + Psylocke & Jubes

 

[What did he mean by this?]

When the the same ol' same ol' is not good enough

 

[Rooster12]

Can't be ANY worse than the 90s comic/event.

 

[Jake2by4]

I truly did not see this coming

 

[freenudemacusers]

great now the mcu vortex is only going to grow in size

 

[MegaSackman]

Days of Future Past was the only movie that I liked from Singer. Trailers already tell this movie is trash.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

Chicago Tribune - "X-Men: Apocalypse" -- 2 stars

Spoilers in this one.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Yes, it's sad but true. X-Men: Apocalypse is not good at all. A real disappointment and not even on a par with X-Men: The Last Stand.
