After seeing how awesome Quicksilver was in this movie, it really makes me want to see a proper Flash movie. One that is bright, hopeful and fun.
Basically the complete opposite of Snyder's DCEU.

I would've been fine with Grant as the big screen representative. Yep me too. Grant has proven time and time again how great of an actor he is. But, for whatever reason, WB seem dead set against linking their movies to their tv shows.

You could sub Marvel for DC and it would still ring true. The TV Shows are linked to the Marvel movies pretty blatantly. Granted it's not so much reciprocated at the moment... only thing I can think of is the helicarrier in Age of Ultron was built in AoS.

And even with that, they didn't actually acknowledge Coulson or Theta Protocol in Age of Ultron, so it just comes off like AoS retroactively inserted themselves into AoU.

The only time it worked organically was when Winter Soldier had to bail that show's stale ass out.

I thought Fury mentioning that he had help from some "old friends" regarding the carrier was sort-of a reference to the show. (I know that may have not been the intent on the part of the AoU writers, but still...)

They really took some liberties with the X-Men story, but I enjoyed it for what it was. Definitely not great, though.

I just saw it and I found out what my master password is for my keypass! It wasn't horrible movie, it was oddly paced though. I still enjoyed it. I'm just not that huge on the casting and the fact that we are on this time line still hurt my brain. Either way Sophie Turner was alright It will take sometime to get used to her. {Spoiler}Was anyone expecting Mystique to die? I was and when she didn't i was so disappoint. I just can't take her serious as Mystique even at the end when she was talking to everyone about fighting was so cringe. Its so Roman Reigns/Cena.

I really enjoyed it. And will likely be disappointed with Game of Thrones this week after seeing Sansa on the big screen.

I saw it last night and liked it a lot. I was entertained the whole time, thought the action and acting were great. I'm a huge fan of the franchise (except X3, screw you X3) so I went in with high hopes and felt like they met them. Pros: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}-Quicksilver steals the show again. I listened to Sweet Dreams driving to work today just because of that scene. So cool.
-I liked the new Cyclops, Storm, Jean and Nightcrawler actors. I love Nightcrawler, he was my favorite part of X2 so having him back is awesome. All 4 of their character archs were good. I also like that the new young mutants were the ones to take Apocalypse down (well, with Magneto's help.)
-McAvoy and Fassbender were, as usual, great. Fassbender in particular made Magneto really sympathetic.
-The Wolverine scene was really cool, and I say that as someone who thinks Wolvie is really overexposed.
-OLIVIA MUNN
Cons: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}-I thought the battle inside Xavier's mind was corny and kind of a lame way to end it.
-Apocalypse was kind of a let-down. He was promising at first but after a while it was pretty repetitive. To put it in wrestling terms he felt like a mutant Bray Wyatt. Lots of vague rambling with no real points and ultimately not a real threat.
-The "Mystique as a hero" stuff was REALLY heavy-handed. I'm fine with Jennifer Lawrence and think Mystique is a cool character, but it was definitely a bit much at points in the movie. I rolled my eyes at Storm having a poster of her and idolizing her.
Also question that I don't know if anyone has addressed or explained, but why are Jubilee and Angel teenagers/young adults in the 80's? We've seen them in the later timeline around that same age. I know the timeline was changed but how does that affect character's ages? I thought that was confusing.

But I'm assuming they're just going with "X3 and the first Wolverine movie don't count because they suck."
