Only if Singer gets to do DCEU in exchange.

Let's make it happen

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

It's hard to imagine anything being worst than Last Stand because I can't think of a single redeemable quality in Last Stand.

...It's better than Wolverine Origins?

 

[Corpekata]

Is JLAW getting a ton of crap for her phoned in acting?

Most reviews probably aren't written by forum goers that seem really hung on her, so probably not.

[Sagroth]

I hope this will lead to them getting rid of Jennifer Lawrence entirely or just having her do a cameo in the next movie.
I highly doubt this series is over but I'm really tired of her and it looks like she's all over this one.

I remember reading an interview during the run up to DOFP where Hugh Jackman basically admitted that they were trying to make JLaw the next hook to watch the X-men movies, as his time as Wolverine was nearing its end. Mystique being the leader here is more evidence of that, and it looks like it isn't working as intended.

Fox should just base the X-Men world off Deadpool going forward (not talking about the R rating just the overall feel and accuracy).

 

[inky]

Wouldn't put too much stock into critics anymore, really. They failed on two huge accounts recently, in my opinion. BvS wasn't the disaster that it was made up to be, and nor was Civil War the masterpiece they all said it is.

I'm still excited about this as I've loved just about all X-Men films save for The Last Stand.

This is such a ridiculous statement. It's fine if you don't want to believe critics, you are certainly not obligated to do it, but you are definitely exaggerating.

By both RT and MC grading metrics, BvS was a 5/10 movie and CW was a 7.5/10. The "disaster" vs "masterpiece" picture is complete hyperbole and not representative of the actual critical reception, and this is coming from someone who thinks BvS is close to a disaster and very much a mess.

 

[Delio]

The mental flips to push mutants into the MCU would be fun to see atleast. Also whatever other movies that are pushed back because of that.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

...It's better than Wolverine Origins?

That's...a good point. I can't think of anything redeemable there either.

Damn the X-Men have gotten a raw deal.

Good news is that nobody will be able to recognize him in this film.

 

[CloudyTuba]

Let Zack Snyder do X-men:

Only if Singer gets to do DCEU in exchange.

Hmmm...I would accept this trade.

What a surprise, people finally got tired of Bryan Singer making the same goddamn movie he's made since 2001.

That's what I've been saying.

 

[Bronx-Man]

What a surprise, people finally got tired of Bryan Singer making the same goddamn movie he's made since 2001. Matthew Vaughn's busy with the Kingsman franchise, put the X-Men in Tim Miller's hands.

I will only accept this if you are 13 because X2 was awesome.

Nah

 

[Mr. Poolman]

How old are you? X2 was fantastic

35.
X2 is overrated as hell.

In fact, the best X-Men movie is First Class.

 

[NotLiquid]

I still legitimately feel that people were just a little bit too easy on DoFP. The movie falls apart spectacularly once you think about it and Mystique just doesn't work as an anchor to it's plot considering how J-Law phones in the performance. The things I appreciated DoFP for the most were things that existed to undo the missteps the franchise had taken. If Apocalypse really is a let down of this caliber then it makes that movie look like all the more of a fluke.

No lies detected here.

 

[Jigorath]

Time to come home, mutants.

Yeah.

FOX gonna give back the X-Men after Deadpool made $700m.

 

[Prompto]

Please let Wolverine 3 be good. I want Hugh Jackman to leave the franchise on a high note.

i'd be okay with this. at least their costumes would be fuckin on point. not the crap singer's been pushing for so long.

Plays more like an overblown episode of the 1990s cartoon series than anything else, and I wouldn't consider that a compliment.

Fuck this guy.

so was First Class

hell, the first X-Men is pretty fun for the time

 

[Lebron]

Sure, but it's not a good X-Men movie.

 

[Toa TAK]

Singer noooooo!

This was the one I was looking forward to the most.

 

[vinnygambini]

the last stand was not in anyway divisive. most people think it's shit

Some people enjoyed it, like myself, and some people thought it was shit.

Rottentomatoes & Audience Scores seem to think as much with results hovering at 58 and 62% respectively.

 

[Rooster12]

Now I'm concerned about Death of X....that might just do it for mutants in Marvel.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Batman vs. Superman and potentially X-Men getting significantly worse scores than Deadpool.

Who saw this coming.

Anyone who's seen all the other terrible X-Men movies?

 

[Nyanmaruz]

Deadpool was good.
BvS was bad.
Civil War was good.
Apocalypse is bad.

Are we seeing a pattern here? Suicide Squad has to be good right?

 

[TheSlySoul]

Sure, but it's not a good X-Men movie.

Valid point, I think the original trilogy had issues being faithful to the X-Men brand.

 

[Lebron]

Deadpool was good.
BvS was bad.
Civil War was good.
Apocalypse is bad.

Are we seeing a pattern here? Suicide Squad has to be good right?

But that means Doctor Strange will be bad!

 

[Sinatar]

Deadpool was good.
BvS was bad.
Civil War was good.
Apocalypse is bad.

But that would mean Dr. Strange is bad, I'd rather Suicide Squad suck then that.

RIP Doctor Strange.

 

[Netherscourge]

As I feared...

Civil War has ruined all other Comic Book movies for people. MCU has peaked. Armageddon is here.

 

[bananafactory]

It is. You can definitely tell it's from that early era of comic book movies, but it's got heart.

 

[darkhunger]

Yeah.

FOX gonna give back the X-Men after Deadpool made $700m.

They're separate licenses though. New Line used to own the Deadpool one until 2004-ish or so.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Doctor Strange bad confirmed.

In the 27 years since Batman, the only kind of consistency in the Superhero genre has been from Marvel Studios.

(so far)

 

[Strike]

Guess those rumors might have actually been true. Hope it's not too bad.

 

[Discotheque]

Sure, but it's not a good X-Men movie.

You're right. It's a great one.

That's where your post was heading...right? Lol

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I liked it.

There's more "X-Men!" moments in this X-Men movie than there's probably been in all the previous mainline X-Men movies combined.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Deadpool was good.
BvS was bad.
Civil War was good.

So Incredibles 2 is gonna suck? Dammit.

 

[icespide]

do you guys know what happens to a toad when its hit by lightning?

 

[HowZatOZ]

Can Evan Peters just get his own Quicksilver spin-off? The dude is amazing with the character and it would be an awesome show.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Deadpool was good.
BvS was bad.
Civil War was good.

The pattern must continue, but I think Dr. Strange is gonna be good so...idk
