I just hope Oscar Isaac got PAID.

Dude is the best.

Fassbender is the best right now. But yeah Isaac is one to watch out for

 

[watership]

Damn. Singer finally made a mediocre xmen movie (let the quotes of disagreement commence lol)

They went from one film to the other pretty damn fast for Singer. I bet he was rushed.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Damn. Singer finally made a mediocre xmen movie (let the quotes of disagreement commence lol)

And they said singer could never match the avengers.

In other comic book movie news I'm watching the Alba fantastic four. Dat spacesuit.

 

[Jigorath]

I liked FC and DOFP a lot.

Sucks to see another superhero trilogy end on a sour note. Cap and Iron Man are still the only exceptions I guess.

Iron man had its sour note in the middle.

Well, yeah.

Cap got better while Iron got worse. It's an inverse relationship.

We'll always have X2 and DoFP at least. But damn this is dissapointing.

 

[Glass Rebel]

IM3 is the best entry tho.

 

[a916]

Is the petition to Disney? lol...

Damn. Singer finally made a mediocre xmen movie (let the quotes of disagreement commence lol)

Everyone has a bad day at the office... that's his first real miss with X-Men.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

IM3 is the best entry tho.

It is inevitable...

 

[Prompto]

It is inevitable...

But what are your feelings on Thor 2?

 

[Htown]

But what are your feelings on Thor 2?

Okay but forgettable.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Iron man had its sour note in the middle.

So did 80s/90s Batman

 

[roflwaffles]

Should have just scrapped the Apocalypse concept and had Magneto take an asteroid with his Brotherhood/Acolytes into space.

 

[LionPride]

Damn. Singer finally made a mediocre xmen movie (let the quotes of disagreement commence lol)

The hell you mean finally?

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Are you saying Forever was worse than B&R!?

 

[maximum360]

IM3 is the best entry tho.

I humbly disagree. Iron Man 3 was the worst in the series.

 

[Byakuya769]

Okay but forgettable.

Fun, sloppy and dumb.

 

[SecretDan]

Fassbender is the best right now. But yeah Isaac is one to watch out for

Dude isn't some up-and-comer at this point.

He has already been in 2 great films, a couple very good ones and Star Wars.

 

[btown]

YO IS IT IRON MAN 3 TIME

Opinion: IM3 is better than every X-Men movie except X2 and DofP.

 

[roflwaffles]

I humbly disagree. Iron Man 3 was the worst in the series.

I dunno about that, I can enjoy IM3 as a standalone film although I dislike the MCU aspects of it. IM2 was legit bad.

 

[plasmawave]

I humbly disagree. Iron Man 3 was the worst in the series.

2 was by far the worst.

 

[onipex]

Don't let critics stop me from seeing movies anymore. I've enjoyed many movies with awful reviews and found movies with great reviews very boring.

 

[Astral Dog]

2 was by far the worst.

Iron Man 1 was the only good one !

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Nightcrawler deserves better than this...where's a White House when you need it?

 

[MisterHero]

The Iron Man movies kickstarted the MCU, but they are 3 movies of Marvel feeding fans with cynical junk to prepare them for the Cap movies.

Iron Man is New Coke

And of course, the Cap movies were just less cynical junk, buying Marvel time to reacquire its true greatest hero, Spider-Man

Spoiler

Cap is #1

 

[overcast]

Consensus up.

Welp. Looks like the end for Singer here. He had a great run.

I liked FC and DOFP a lot.

Sucks to see another superhero trilogy end on a sour note. Cap and Iron Man are still the only exceptions I guess.

Well Iron Man 3 is hot garbage so that's incorrect.

 

[Jigorath]

Well Iron Man 3 is hot garbage so that's incorrect.

You have bad opinions.

 

[kswiston]

Regardless of one's feelings for Iron Man 3, we can all agree that 2 was already a huge step down, and therefore the trilogy doesn't fit the general superhero trilogy pattern (where it's often part 1 is good, part 2 is great, and part 3 is bad in comparison to the first two).

 

[unpopularblargh]

Welp. Looks like the end for Singer here. He had a great run.

Iron Man 3 was great. Thor 2 was hot garbage. DofP was great despite Kinberg.

Iron Man, TWS, and Civil War are my top three MCU films.

Sucks to hear about Apocalypse. Please please get rid of Kinberg.

 

[Ashhong]

The latest in the X-Men movie franchise is just X-meh.

If that's not quality writing I don't know what is.

 

[TrumanBurbank]

Don't let critics stop me from seeing movies anymore. I've enjoyed many movies with awful reviews and found movies with great reviews very boring.

Armond White?

 

[Transistor]

I feel like the only person who didn't care for Days of Future Past sometimes. I thought it was just meh, and Quicksilver's scene was the only really good thing about it.

Shame about these reviews, but about what I expected.

 

[rokkerkory]

Damnit last one was so good too

 

[CaviarMeths]

Damn, was hoping it wasn't so even with some spotty footage in the trailers. I love Singer's previous work in the series and was really hoping he'd have another winner here.

Still going to see it, opening weekend if I can. I think if I keep expectations in check, I'll still have a fun old time.

YO IS IT IRON MAN 3 TIME

The truth, and I say that thinking that The Last Stand and Origins were the only misfires in the series.

 

[Renekton]

Batroc and Crossbones were manhandled way too easily.

Imagine if Disney and Marvel made DC movies...I shudder the treatment they'd give to Deathstroke. They would probably have Batman take him out with 1 punch or something.

Better than how DCAU treated Slade recently. He got one-shotted by Manta, rekt by little Damian, and eliminated offscreen by Young Justice team.

And don't get me started on Batman Arkham series

It never fails. What's the point of posting this in a review thread?

 

[IndoAssassin]

He also got man-handled (woman-handled?) by Thea on Arrow.

But Thea had weeks of training. Weeks!

 

[WhiskeyDiver]

X-Men is still the MVP of comic book adaptations. Nothing has come close to capturing these goosebump moments.

That entire fight between them was choreographed so wellWAITAMINUTE...

Honestly the first X-Men movie was painful to watch, because it never felt like it set any kind of exciting pace throughout. I wanted to like it, but there's almost nothing from the movie that I can say was memorable.

 

[andythinkpad]

I like how the nerds turn the X-Men thread into a MCU vs DCCU fight.

 

[MechaX]

I really liked FC and DoFP, and this is just... depressing.

Like, this can't really count as a trilogy right? I mean, they are connected and are three movies, but they do not really constitute as a single work or story when put together.

Singer can still try for a 4th after this, right?

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Singer can still try for a 4th after this, right?

Nah, get him outta there.

 

[A-V-B]

Nah, get him outta there.

So this is it for him?

Well, this is Singer's fourth.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

To be clear, while I seem to be one of the few who didn't think it was a bad film, I've been arguing that I didn't want Singer coming back to this series since before he even did it. I didn't even want him to come back after DoFP.

So yeah, he should go. Especially considering the direction the series is heading. I'm not sure he's cut out for that shit.

 

[BobLoblaw]

So this is it for him?

That's what I'm praying for. Directors like him and Joss Whedon have had their time. Now get the fuck outta the way.

 

[Toa TAK]

This makes me sad to read.

At least we still got X2 and DOFP.

Thanks for the memories Singer.

RIP

 

[A-V-B]

I kinda wish the next film was still set in the 80's so we could have the X-Men continue learning to work together instead of having them come back and already having aced it.
