X-Men: Apocalypse | Full Length Reaction
Added 2022-10-20 18:31:07 +0000 UTCHey guys!! Here’s X-Men: Apocalypse! So I don’t want to spoil TOO much but I definitely went in on the opinion in the review portion of the video - but I was so happy to see one of my favorite casts all together again and the way everything fell together for the future of the X-Men. I was surprised at this cast and really really enjoyed seeing some of my favorite people together BUT THATS ALL IM GONNA GIVE AWAY!! :)
I have some pretty strong opinions though… hehehehe

It's hilarious to say this movie was well done! It has some good ideas and story points and a couple great scenes, also bringing Moria back was fantastic but she didn't really have anything to do,(other that the memory reuniting scene, which I loved) but absolutely everyone was disappointed that Apocalypse wasn't anything at all like he should've been.

2022-11-15 09:17:28 +0000 UTCThe idea of this being several films is great. I never considered that. They could have had Apocalypse lurking behind the scenes until the second movie before even coming face to face with them, and then the third movie would have the actual showdown. Let the Four Horsemen have time to actually be threatening before taking them down in the second movie. Lots of time for character growth and let the story breathe. Would have been sweet.

2022-10-24 02:05:26 +0000 UTCOlivia Munn's diaper outfit wasn't the fault of the outfit. She just didn't have the figure to pull off Psylocke's comic book style costume. Very faithful to the comics. A much smaller waist and rounder hips are needed to dress like that.

2022-10-23 05:17:57 +0000 UTCPsylocke was Olivia Munn, not Ariel Winter. Winter doesn't appear in the film. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3385516/

2022-10-22 02:15:09 +0000 UTCYes the actor playing Scott was the same one from Ready player one! And Psylocke is Aerial Winter. You should watch the Scary Movie James Mcavoy plays a serial killer with multiple personalities great acting job!

2022-10-21 22:42:12 +0000 UTCFilm is subjective so I respect your opinion. That said, a movie doing well financially is not an accurate way to say it was good, and same for the opposite. Plenty of brilliant films bombed at the box office (Blade Runner), and plenty of terrible films do well (Transformers 4). X-Men Apocalypse, from my point of view, is a lifeless, boring, overlong, drudging mess of a film. It's insulting to so many great comics characters, lacks the interesting social commentary that even X3 did well, is shot boring, paced horrendously, regressed several character arcs (Mystique already did the whole "I need to accept myself" arc in First Class, and she's just repeating it here), and worst of all, it's nothing new. Apocalypse is almost as much a dull rehash as Superman Returns, Singer's other abomination, was. If you saw something great in the film, wonderful. I envy you. But this film was awful to me. Even the 47% on Rotten Tomatoes is too generous for it if you ask me, and that's already pretty bad.

2022-10-21 04:29:24 +0000 UTCLogan wasn't that good. Come on now. X-Men: First Class was the best one, EVER!

2022-10-21 03:28:09 +0000 UTCThis story required at least 2 movies for character development. And they should've spent more time on the costumes too. Apocalypse is a broad linebacker kinda size of a dude, ditto for Beast. I enjoy the new cast but this make every actor super model thin ruins the ambience. This movie won't age well. And it was a setup for the next X-men film: X-Men Dark Phoenix. Apocalypse is a big story character the X-Men battle often in the comics too. My favorite story of this is when Apocalypse develops a plague that kills fast. Beast comes up with idea to throw Wolverine into a giant vat of the virus so that Wolverine heals from it and thus they develop a cure from Wolverine's antibodies. They didn't do Apocalypse justice with this film. He's a decent villain but a bit broken when it comes to powers and rules about powers and mutations. As much as this story line is a good one, in the comics, there are better story lines they could've used to lead into the next film. Such as the battle with the Shi'ar. That story line puts the X-Men in space and you could easily connect that to the Dark Phoenix story since the Phoenix is actually a being from space that lives inside Jean, in the comics of course. That would've been a great segue story then throwing the X-Men against Apocalypse and having Eric nearly destroy the whole planet BEFORE the dark phoenix storyline, lol. Anyway, I think that leaves 4 more films? Deadpool 2, Dark Phoenix, Logan, and New Mutants...unless you want to include the Fantastic Four in your watch list, lol.

2022-10-21 03:20:50 +0000 UTCOne of the most confusing things about the X Men saga is the timeline of events. X Men Origins really ruined a lot of it, and this one takes place after Days Of Future Past, but before the future where Wolverine wakes up. Plus this isn't the first time they meet. They meet in the first X Men movie, that's when they meet in the canon, and yet here they are meeting for the first time before they meet.... for the first time 🤣 So yeah its super messy, but I love these movies and especially the performances given. James McAvoy is superb, but Michael Fassbender, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and of course Hugh Jackman are breathtaking. Side thing, you completely missed the fact that the arrow pierced through Erik's daughter and into his wife. He wouldn't kill his wife in a fit of rage. Nina was small enough that the arrow hit the wife's heart. It was hinted at in Days of Future Past that Erik was Peter's dad. Peter said "My mom once knew a guy who could control metal." And in the comics, Magneto is the father of Pietro and Wanda, meaning Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are both mutants. And come on Vee, nukes would never make it to the sun! They would completely disintegrate before they make it near 😅

2022-10-21 02:03:12 +0000 UTCAccurate critiques, but how dare you not know the name of the "lady from Mortal Kombat." HER NAME IS SINDEL AND YOU WILL GIVE HER YOUR RESPECT 😤😅
Lorenzo Baxter
2022-10-21 01:08:22 +0000 UTCSad thing is, the issues are all direction issues. Reading just the script, it's pretty good (And has some great scenes they left out of the movie. Like the teens actually going to the mall and giving the film some levity). But Bryan Singer had to... be Bryan Singer.
Inhuman Paradox
2022-10-20 22:54:50 +0000 UTCWARNING, ESSAY INCOMING So, hot take, but this is my least favorite of the mainline (Not Origins) X-Men movies. Yes, I like X3 better. Yes, I like Dark Phoenix, for all that movie's problems, better. With those movies, I go back and forth between extremely frustrated and "well that was kinda cool I guess". With this movie, I'm just bored. Aside from the Sweet Dreams scene, it's devoid of energy. It's just droning, mopey, downbeat, and slow. And granted, so were the first two. But those justified it both by shorter lengths but also by having relatively grounded imagery and social commentary. This movie loses that social element and still tries to have the visual splendor of FC and DOFP, making its downer tone feel dissonant. Like in X-Men 1 and First Class when you see Auschwitz, the imagery is kept grounded to make it more impactful and somber. In this movie, you have Psylocke (Who is not supposed to be a villain. Psylocke is one of the coolest X-Men characters and they butchered her harder than they did Rogue here) standing around looking like the "Too bad you... will die" lady from Mortal Kombat Annihilation. It clashes, dare I say even feels a bit disrespectful considering the topic at hand. What's truly unfortunate, is this is all on a direction level. Bryan Singer, who by this point was finally getting called out for his sexual misconduct, brought the same blandness to the film as he did to Superman Returns in addition to being drunk 90% of the production. The original script, by Simon Kinberg, was actually pretty good and even has some things they didn't even put in the movie like the teens actually going to the mall and, gasp, smiling! Smiling in this movie? No, not allowed. Of course, Kinberg like always ends up getting all the blame. He always gets the blame for Fox and Singer's bad decisions. Even the film he directed, Dark Phoenix, is really Fox and Disney's fault (At different points in production). He did the best he could with the situation he was thrown into. Singer meanwhile did bad even with a good script and final cut privilege over the film. Ultimately, that's why I like Dark Phoenix better than Apocalypse. For as messy as that film is, it's a film that was doomed from the beginning that the director did as best he could. Apocalypse was a film that so easily could've been great, and was botched by its director. Tl;dr: This film disappointed me for how it wasted a pretty decent script while I give X3 and DP leeway because they were doomed from the start due to Fox's bad decisions early on in pre-production for both.

2022-10-20 22:53:44 +0000 UTCThe Netflix shows are MCU. Always have been. Marvel Television, who made the Netflix, ABC, and Hulu shows (None of those companies did anything other than put a logo on them. Netflix didn't make the "Netflix shows", Marvel Television did), was a Disney company that cooperated with Marvel Studios. Those shows were always canon, something Feige confirmed several times across several years. They are MCU. Also, they're better than the rest of the MCU IMO. Marvel Television gave us Daredevil Season 3 and AoS Season 4, IMO the two best things in the entire MCU.

2022-10-20 22:52:05 +0000 UTCSo excited for you to see Logan. It is not just my favorite movie from this series. It is my favorite movie period.

2022-10-20 21:58:01 +0000 UTCJust getting all the bad movies out of the way. Hoping for more MCU soon. The X-men movies and Netflix shows just aren’t on par with the MCU

2022-10-20 20:05:06 +0000 UTCI have my issues with this movie. The cast is great, but good grief. They didn't do apocalypse justice here. I look forward to your reaction to Logan and/or Deadpool 2.
