If you count them all, this sentence has exactly seventy-two characters.

If, early in the movie, an intermittent five second premonition with apocalypse and fire was supposed to be the buildup to the phoenx, then I'm sorry if I misinterprited the writer's lack of creativity. "Unleash your power" is even more lazy.

Love heals all wounds. We hope you continually carry love in your heart. Today and always, may loving memories bring you peace, comfort, and strength. We sympathize with the family of (Name). We shall never forget you in our prayers and thoughts. I am at a loss for words during this sorrowful time.

if a fantastic four movie was made in a very deliberate and realized jack kirby aesthetic you could end up with a fuckin rad dr doom

but yeah that would never happen

That is the biggest goddamn crime out of all of this, too. Kirby's aesthetic is the best thing to come out of comics.

Everytime Apocalypse was on screen they should have just used the audio clips from the cartoon for his dialog. Instantly the movie would have be 300 % better.

Did you go to take a poo poo during that scene where Jean can't control her power and is melting her loving room?

Holy poo poo this movie was awful. The first two hours was such poo poo with nothing happening, and introducing characters we've seen in 14 other loving movies.

If you're going to make a super hero movie going forward, 5 minutes of lead-in is all you need, the rest should be nothing but huge budget action.

The wire-fu in this movie was laughably bad, too. I could almost see the strings.

What a shitshow. The whole Stryker scene was shoved in a plot that was already sluggish. The only characters I liked were Quicksilver and Nightcrawler.

And gently caress off Jennifer Lawrence. Stop playing vague-Katniss and put some effort in.

This movie was freaking great. I don't know what you goons are thinking. Apocalypse was a legit bad guy. The visuals were pleasing. The linear story was simple enough to follow and made sense. It felt like a comic book. Which is the goal? Right?

The only thing I didn't care about was JL'S performance. She didn't have any chemistry with the new xmen characters.

Jean Grey, Cyclops, Magento and Xavier all had solid performances.

8/10. Right up there with First Class and DOFP.

Magneto had a very good dramatic performance. Which is good and bad because it kind of pigeon holes him from ever being a really bad guy.

I like comic books.
