Just saw it. It wasn't as bad as some of the headlines suggest. Offhand X3 and Origins are still way worse than this. I liked this better than The Wolverine too. I dunno, it was solid? The headlines weren't saying it was bad, they were just saying it was mediocre because they didn't seem to have a consistent narrative focus, which isn't wrong. I mean, the headlines I were reading were like, "Second worst X-Men ever!", which isn't true. I agree though, some focus would've been nice. I suppose maybe using Scott as your entryway character would've been the best move, though I know most people aren't looking for Scott to be the focus (warranted given how Scott is 99% of the time in comics).

It was fine. They get some things right, others made me scratch my head. Overall I enjoyed it.

I feel pretty similar about Kristen Stewart, who WILL TOTALLY NOT be playing the role of Squirrel Girl in my movie version of said character. I'm okay with Allison Williams playing Dazzler though. If Squirrel Girl was written as being jaded and cynical and fully self-aware that her superpower is utterly ridiculous, Kristen Stewart would be perfect for the part. Honestly I think it could totally work. No, dammit. This is my brainchild. I won't surrender creative control to anyone else.

Zack Snyder presents Squirrel Girl Nah The version of Squirrel Girl I have in mind would be more like "Daria" and possess sarcastic humour, which is alien to Zack. This is, after all, a guy who wanted Batman to be raped in prison. Wait, what?

So I gather that:
Civil War > X-Men > BvS?

So I gather that: Civil War > X-Men > BvS? Agreed, but with a very large gap separating Civil War and Apocalypse. A pretty forgettable movie all in all...just like most of the supporting characters!

Wait, what? www.businessinsider.com/zack-snyder-old-interview-batman-prison-rape-2016-5And WB figured this Genius was the one to hand their potential $10 billion dollar+ franchise over to.

I just got back from it, and I liked it. It was probably the worst Singer X-Men movie, but that's not exactly a knock, since Singer X-Men movies are fan-f***ing-tastic. - Fassbender and McAvoy need to be in these movies as long as possible. They are perfect as Charles and Magneto, yeah, it's always said, but it's going to continue to be said until they're no longer perfect for their parts. - Jean, Scott, Storm, and Nightcrawler were good additions, the actors all did a good job. {Spoiler}- Nice touch with them explaining how Last Stand won't be canon. Because of looking into Logan's future in Future Past, he knows what happened in Last Stand, so in this one he encouraged Jean to not be afraid of that power. He told her to unleash it, since she did that, she'll have a better hold on the power, and what she did in Last Stand won't happen.
- Speaking of Jean, I admit I kind of marked when she embraced the power, and in Charles' mind Cerebro's door opened and she walked through. The only time it worked organically was when Winter Soldier had to bail that show's stale ass out. I wouldn't say Winter Soldier bailed Agents of SHIELD out. The big reason why the show dragged on was because they had to kill time till Winter Soldier, they couldn't exactly start their main storyline before then.

I enjoyed the movie for the most part, though it does suffer a bit from trying to build up Jean, Scott, and Kurt but never going all in

Really liked it. Middle of the pack superhero flick, but highly entertaining.

Just got back from the theater, this was probably my favorite comic book movie of the year so far, better than Civil War even (which I thought was good but pretty run of the mill as far as MCU movies go). Don't understand all the bad press it's been getting.

f***ing Hated it {Spoiler} Sansas terrible accent, the part where it became the J Law show, Wolverine not being nude this time for some reason, Jubilee doing nothing, Warren Worthington not be very Warren Worthington at all. How 2 people can accidentally be killed with the same arrow. Mystique was the mutant savior that inspired them all to fight... why? I what version of the xmen is than a thing? Shes at best Magnetos 2nd banana all those characters and none of them did anything i wanted from an xmen movie

Got around to checking it out. The {Spoiler}Weapon X bit was freaking awesome. Scott and Kurt were decent, and Fasbender as Magneto kicked ass as always. Everything else though? Really didn't care for it. WAAAAAAAAAAAY too much focus on "Mystique", if she even deserves to be called as much. Seriously, there was barely a shred of the actual Mystique from either the comics or the original X-Films represented here.
