The only thing that bugged me was Havoc being probably 38-40, and having a high school aged brother. Eddie Guerrero was born 18 years after his brother Chavo Sr. And 3 years older then his nephew

Wait if First Class is in the 60s and Apocalypse is in the 80s, why is no one 20 years older? Like not Patrick Stewart makes some reference to Rose Byrne not ageing at all and I'm thinking f***ing none of you have First Class is during the Cuban Missile Crisis and Reagan is President in Apocalypse so thats like a 19 year gap at a minimum And Patrick Stewart was in Wolverine Origins which takes place in 1986 and this movie takes place in 1982 and his birth year is in 1932 but Days of Future Past takes place in 2023. So basically he looks amazing until 1986 but looks amazing for a 91 year old man as well with Magneto and well the rest of the cast from The Last Stand taking place on 2006 It's like when Ric Flair aged 20 years in the early 2000s.

Also, this film takes place ten years after the Paris Peace Accords (where Mystique tried and failed to assassinate Bolivar Trask), which took place in 1973. Ergo, I think it's safe to say Apocalypse takes place in 1983. No anachronisms here.

So James McAvoy is playing a 51 years old and Michael Fassbender is playing a 53 years old but in 3 years time James McAvoy is going to look like Patrick Stewart? Mutants age really slow and than sudden by remain ageless again going by 20 year gap between First Class and This and the 17 year gap between Last Stand and Days of Future Past. Hell the never aging Wolverine had a streak of Grey Hair in Days of Future Past.

Hell the never aging Wolverine had a streak of Grey Hair in Days of Future Past. IIRC the in-story reason for the streak wasn't even ageing, it was the stress of him and those Logan cares about being hunted by the Sentinels for the ten years between the events of The Wolverine and DOFP.

But everyone else look liked they haven't aged a day and they were probably even more stressed since they aren't as battle worn or immortal like Wolverine...

I like that all the attempts to defend the obvious problems just make the problems seem even bigger and more ridiculous, good job everyone

Hell the never aging Wolverine had a streak of Grey Hair in Days of Future Past. Yeah, one of the big problems with what Moviebob described in his Apocalypse review as Singer's "sullen Abercrombie models looking pouty-aesthetic" is that it's easy to forget that the First Class characters should be anywhere within their late 40s to early 50s. Hell, it wouldn't hurt to have given Magneto some grey hair. He's basically been depicted as a man in fighting condition with white hair, anyway. Of course, at least Fassbender's Magneto feels like an older man through his hardened, weathered performance; Lucas Till's Havok still plays like a man in his 20s. It doesn't help that they chose actors at least as old as he's supposed to be to play his and Scott's parents. Do they really look old enough to have had a child who was of adult age during the Bay of Pigs invasion?

I mean Rogue looked fabulous for someone who'd spent the best part of a decade locked in a Sentinel concentration camp being experimented on, as did Kitty's group, who'd been homeless and on the run for years. I guess Wolvie must've been getting tender-hearted in his old age.

Honestly The X-Men movies are riddled with tons of continuity errors that even Days of Future Past can't even fix but it's just easier to turn off your bring and enjoy them. But yeah I really wish they did more on the prosthetic budget to make the actors look older like adding grey to the hair or making it look thinner or dressing older or something. Like this is the same franchise that always spent a shit ton of money on prosthetic and makeup especially this one with The Apocalypse Suit and Mystique and such. Hell they could a cheat a bit and alter James McAvoy's voice to make it sound older, like they practically didn't use Oscar Issac's real natural voice once in the film.

I'm so used to the comics having a sliding time scale where characters move through the decades while never really aging that it doesn't really bother me on-screen either.
Hell, it's being faithful to the source in a way haha.

Wolverine section was cool, as was the brief appearance of Caliban. I kid you not Caliban is one of my favorite characters from x-force back in the 90's (i was more faithful follower of them rather then x-men) and I was NOT expecting to see him at all and he didn't get killed off either. Would have much rather had him as a horseman since Apocalypse was in the movie and could have turned him into a horseman then and there. {Spoiler} Kinda irked me Archangel not being blue or having any kind of relationship with Psylocke. Speaking of her Where was my british accent??
I don't believe Havok's dead. I will be there opening night if somehow we get a Mutant X movie. He's not dead to me he just went to that universe.
Speaking of "Mutant X" I loved the nod to Proteus as a possible future villian.
Very excited to seeing Mr. Sinister make his debut.
Yeah quicksilver....Not trying to hate but that saving everyone from the mansion scene was kinda over doing it. He's not supposed to be that fast if HE was changed into someone who was fast and could see the future or something then I could believe that scene.
Speaking of him I don't get something is he really Magneto's son or not? I thought he was supposed to be but apparently in the comics he's not and where does that leave scarlet witch? Is X-men's quicksilver supposed to be the same as Avengers quicksilver?

I had to laugh at the absurdity of FOX apologising for a film poster depicting Apocalypse strangling Mystique.
Who would have thought a villain would do such a villainous thing?

I keep reading about how that billboard promotes "casual violence." Nothing a guy named APOCALYPSE does can be described as casual, especially his violence.
