AtariLegend Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Looked for a thread, only found a dozen scattered "Days of Future Past" threads instead.This is the trailer from a few days ago. The big villain final boss of the franchise finally shows up (yet still being a semi-reboot).I'm curious at what point someone decided Mystique had to become a centerpiece of these films? The character isn't compelling and would be an after thought if it wasn't for the fact that Jenifer Lawrence I'm guessing decided she needed more screen time.

Rovim Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) She's a shapeshifter though. A blue shapeshifting whore. It's compelling. (for some) Edited December 16, 2015 by Rovim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) I agree, it's only because of Jennifer Lawrence that she is being made this important. When Rebecca Romain was Mystique she barely had any dialogue. Which oddly enough, I prefered.

Nosaj Thing Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I have heard some cheesy dialogue in that trailer, which doesn't convince me - at all. I'm still excited for this film, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I was waiting for this since a while, I always look forward to X Men movies, I wish Wolverine had a role in this, im sure he will do a cameo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Judging by the trailer, Marvel's not getting these movie rights back any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumblefeet Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I'm done with the franchise and Singer; I don't watch movies of a director with outspoken ties to a gang of Hollywood pedophiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I'm done with the franchise and Singer; I don't watch movies of a director with outspoken ties to a gang of Hollywood pedophiles.But he's a good director imo. If we try to be objective, only the X Men movies he directed were actually good. The first one, the second, First Class, and Days Of Future Past.He's the right director for X Men imo. Always was.

I'm still waiting to see the documentary "An Open Secret" if it ever gets released, but this should prove to be interesting reading: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bryan-singer-sex-abuse-case-699828http://www.buzzfeed.com/ellievhall/found-the-elusive-man-at-the-heart-of-the-hollywood-sex-abus#.mlLBpYloY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Class was great. But honestly, I preferred Singer's vision. X2, the first one, and Days Of Future Past were also great.If this is Singer's last X Men movie, Matthew Vaughn is a very close second choice.

AtariLegend Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 I'm actually getting less excited about this trailer by trailer. It's pretty clear at this point the series is essentially a vessel for Jenifer Lawrence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I expect NOTHING from this film. The X-Men franchise has went too far. They made the three first films, then made the dreadful, horrible Wolverine spinoffs, decided to tell the story of how it came together with first class and then just... erased everything else with Days of Future Past. That was just plain stupid. And here's a few things that really bother me: - Beast is supposed to be always a blue monster. That's the bad part of his power. - Mystique has become freakin' Katniss Everdeen. She was never supposed to be that relevant. AND MOSTLY, she was supposed to stay blue. The curse of Mystique is that she can be everyone but she suffers from identify crisis, and who is she copying as Jennifer Lawrence? Did she decided "ok now... this is gonna be my official human look. I'm gonna look like this chick here." 'cause she can't just make a look that doesn't exist. - Can't stand any more Magneto or Wolverine. It's been too much already. - Apocalypse was completely reinvented. He's supposed to be a huge, bulky guy. He looks like Ivan Ooze now. Not a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLegend Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Meh. Seen it not long ago. Feels like Age of Ultron, which I'm sure some will like... (for the fan service and that it's a X Men film) but it's really just a bunch things blowing up with little to no consequence. Apocalypse, blows up everything and gets a few cool kills early on... but Spoiler he literally does nothing in the end. No one even seems to care about all the members of the public and buildings blown up. You could replace him with any other villain. Their's not much of a plot either, but I'm sure people won't really notice. Sophie Turner wasn't bad, but it was a bad script and something they just threw together. I feel bad for Fassbender who's acting... despite not much to go on. Their's a dramatic scene early on, but it's too forced and obvious. It feels like the previous films again, only with Katniss as the main hero from the start. Don't know what I expected, honestly. I was looking forward to seeing Apocalypse on the big screen though, but where do they go from here? No point in sequels story wise, they've done the biggest villain and others would only really work in a TV show.

AtariLegend Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Oh apparently their's a post credits scene... Spoiler setting up Mr. Sinister. For some reason the idea of sitting alone in the cinema with the lights on through the credits doesn't appeal to me though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
