What I particularly liked about the Quicksilver sequence in this one was the gradual transition from leisurely clean saves, moving people all the way to safety and stopping to have a snack, or a bit of fun, to the end when he's literally throwing people out of the nearest window as he realises that even with his speed, the explosion's threatening to out-pace him...
Shane Cordova we have no idea what the actual explanation was. Don’t get angry with people for coming up with other explanation for an unexplained choice
A misconception of Magneto's power it's that he just controls metal, it more scientific than that, he can even control electromagnetism wich is one of the FOUR elemental forces in the universe, this is actual science, in the comics he has stated he can sense Jupiter's magnetic force field, that bananas is his power
Magneto is an OMEGA level Mutant. Not just because of his ability to control every ounce of metal on the entire Planet of Earth, but his ability to sense and be able to ALTER any and ALL Magnetic forces. He could legitimatly just destroy the entire Magnetic Field around Earth, killing EVERYONE on it. Imagine being able to do that. Imagine feeling every bit of metal in the entire Earth, even the metal in the Planet's core, and the magnetic field itself. In Magneto's case, he doesn't learn "metal is everywhere", he learns the extent of his OMEGA level abilities. Apocalypse only shows him that his power literally wraps around the entire planet.
I wish that the fact the Magneto is Quicksilver’s father was touched upon in this. I would have liked for Peter to tell Eric that he is his son. Then have him and Raven leave like they did, leaving Eric conflicted. When he hears Peter’s scream that pushes him hard enough to help the good guys. Heck I might write this.
I know! I was so salty about that but at the same time it makes sense. It's hard to fit multiple storylines and arcs into one movie. Putting that aside for later was the right move *BUT I hope it'll be executed well.*
@@chartreusephoenix6581 I don’t think Peter himself knows, but he told Eric enough that he knows that’s the case, as such his screams *DO* have that effect, whether it’s clear or not
Fun Fact: That line "You can fire your arrows from the Tower of Babel... But you can NEVER. STRIKE. GOD!!!!" Was actually a last second addition to the script. Singer actually pitched it to Isaac after a lunch break. Also they had to do 2 EXTRA takes of that scene where Erik kills the officers while holding his dead family. the first take was so perfect, that some of the crew had to leave the set during the filming of the scene to cry. Also, Singer makes an appearance in the movie during the scene when Wolverine is killing everyone in the facility.
@Taco boi extras As I recall, Mr. Singer points himself out on the audio commentary during that scene. If memory serves, he said he was the guard that wolverine chased into the corner of the hall and then killed off screen. It's been a while since I last watched the film, so I may be a bit rusty... But rest assured, he IS there.
Well if it was me, it would be, that eventually Jean would go dark Phoenix and that space genocide event? She would remember the event but not necessarily because she herself did it, more that the dark phoenix took over for awhile and she now has the burden of knowing what just happened. TLDR: She's haunted by the fact something inside her killed millions even though it wasn't her fault.
Just because someone likes the X MEN version more than the MCU version does not mean he doesn't read comics. The MCU Quicksilver was a lot like the comic version sure, but not every thing the comics do is better. This one is surprisingly a way more interesting character.
Can I just mention that Michael Fassbender is one of the greatest actors ever breathing ? Cause all those quick scenes and we still got hooked to his character. He can play anything and still make a great performance.
Fassbender, Keanu reeves, Tom Hardy , and McAvoy walk onto a SET.... Greatest actor's all in one movie... idc what it is i know those 4 would make the MOST amazing Movie.
I think we all had the same thought when we went and saw the movie, I remember my dad and I sitting there, ready for a typical X-Men movie with typical X-Men violence and then both of us said "hooo, shit!" and looked at each other at the same time when that one horseman liquefied those dudes
Gotta admit, my favorite parts of the movie was just Magneto's whole story arc. I don't often cry at the theater, but when he wound up losing everything he had tried to regain, I lost it. That guy just can't catch a break.
I'm honestly so glad this channel exists. As much as I enjoy Honest Trailers and Cinema Sins now and then, the internet seems to cultivate this mass mentality that hating something is actually a fun and worthwhile undertaking. Satire is great, but most people seem to take too far, and in too large a volume. There's no need to spit so much bile about films or TV shows that were good, mediocre, bad, or just not one's kind of thing. I love me a good discussion, but I don't understand the mentality of it being fun and cool to just hate hate hate everything. The fact there's a Cinema Wins channel - and that it's successful - restores a lot of my faith in the wider internet community, and I hope this channel's viewership only continues to grow. All things in moderation, and for every Cinema Sins, there must be a Cinema Wins.
Jo Vonn My comment wasn't purely in reference to this film, but in terms of internet audience reactions as a whole being largely and unnecessarily negative. X-Men: Apocalypse itself was deeply flawed, full of stifled character moments and weird storytelling decisions; however, it's disheartening to see people be so vile about it. The same went for Age of Ultron: whether the film is good or bad, some of the things that people spammed Joss Whedon with over social media were just disgusting. You wouldn't say that to someone's face in real life (or, if you would, you should really reconsider socialising with anyone ever) and the fact that it seems to be okay to be so foul-mouthed over nothing over the internet is indescribably sad. A bad film isn't a reason to send someone death threats, or to use social media to "shame" them. It's not smart, it's not funny, and it certainly isn't an appropriate way to interact with others. Also, as a side-note, the majority of the audience for any comic book movie is people who haven't read the comics (and when I say majority, I mean between 80% and 90% at the very least) so concessions on fidelity will always have to be made. Not to mention that the format of a comic book narrative is vastly different to a 2-hour film narrative. Some studios are better at translating comics to the screen than others, but the same can be said of any genre of films or format being adapted for film. Film criticism is one thing, and I'm glad to have a good discussion over controversial or divisive films, but there is a culture of needless hate, in which reason has no place. That's sad. Very sad.
I love this movie! The only 'win' I would say you missed is Beast's reaction to Professor Xavier telling Alex to 'wreak Havoc'. His face was pure devastation. Which when you think about it, fits his character, since he spent who knows how many hours building and perfecting it. Xavier just told his friend to kill his baby. In front of him. And there's nothing he can do to stop it. Love the channel!!!!!
I agree! Also- kind of unrelated but I was just curious since I just finished the movie, why was Charles screaming and then went unconcious when Alex destroyed Cerebro? Was it cause his mind was connected to it and so when it was destroyed it he felt it? I wanted to ask u since u noticed that small detail so I thought maybe you would know the answer lol
@@elizabethcatlion7015 Maybe it was not only the Cerebro part that made him like that but since he is trying to cut connections with apocalypse in that part is what also is maybe what made him scream
@@lucydreemurr5781 that might be true. Good point. It did seem to get worse though when they tried to touch him or turn off Cerebro, especially when Alex started destroying it- basically whenever it was physically touched. I was thinking, we saw in DoFP that Charles made the control panel on Cerebro short out (or whatever it was doing I forget) so maybe it’s doing the opposite now? Like whenever Cerebro is touched it’s hurting him instead of vise versa? Or maybe it does have something to do with Apocalypse more directly like Apocalypse is trying to protect his connection to Charles and therefore preventing people from stopping it- idk
What I loved about Olivia Munn as Psylocke is that behind the scenes she argued tooth and nail with Bryan Singer to make Psylocke as comic accurate as possible and she won the argument.
Yeah but she was wasted in the movie. She deserved way more screen time. But did manage to make an impression even w what little she was given to work with.
I really like this movie honestly i dont see why people hate it so much. Sure its not as good as first class or days of the future past but its a fun great time
To be fair, Dark Phoenix makes Apocalypse look like Godfather 2 haha. In all seriousness though, it's a pretty good movie, I watched it for the first time this past summer, It's pretty good
Same, the whole movie was a complete eyegasm to me and seeing Psyloche in a proper outfit was a BIG win for me :p. The only problem with it is compared to the other X-men storylines is the story is a bit simple and people used that to say the whole movie is completely horrible
The Apocalypse scene of him single-handedly dismantling the world nuclear arsenal... honestly, its perfection. The single best villain moment/scene of 2016. I still get goosebumps whenever I watch it.
Then everything else after happens lol. Half the movie they built him up, half the movie they used him as a 2nd bad guy. Horrible writing on the bad guy's part.
Sebastian Shaw wanted to use nukes to multiply the number of mutants. Apocalypse disarmed the nukes so that they wouldn't hurt the mutants that already exist. Interesting how this series has such conflicting motives for its antagonists.
Okay I love how at 7:53 he starts laughing that quicksilver is kicking butt then immediately cuts to saying Ohhhh that's brutal when his leg gets broken. I can't be the only one who loved that. By the way movies amazing and I love how they addressed the fact that people thought apocalypse wasn't intimidating enough even though he rocked and brought goosebumps with every scene he's in. I mean the dude took down quicksilver "brutally" quite well too I might add.
one of my biggest complaints about this movie is that they acknowledged magneto and quicksilver's father/son relationship (even if they never did it justice) but never addressed the fact that mystique is nightcrawler's mother? they had the perfect opportunity to set up a parallel there with quicksilver confiding in mystique that magneto is his father, and they just... didn't.
It's one of the cons with episodic franchises these days. They leave you with breadcrumbs intending for a big payoff in a future movie, one that sometimes never comes.
A. This channel uploads way more frequently. B. Cinemasins got stale and unfunny C. Nowadays, Cinemasins sins a lot of B-List movies nobody has seen or care about
Ranjan Mukerjee I still watch sins too, because it is entertaining, regardless of whether the sins are deserved or not. but I am really glad I found wins. this guy is so positive and constructive, it's a pleasure to watch his videos.
Thanks for the channel, sometimes we didnt see the good things of a movie or we only see in the media channels like CinemaSins or Hones Trailers that make us say "This really sucks". But good idea to identify the awesome things a movie has!
Lady_ Agitha I agree sometimes there are movies that you want to see then you watch cinemasins video on it and it seems like your going to be disapointed
I disagree. CinemaSins is really fun to watch and, honestly, hasn't made any movie worse for me. A lot of what the sins boil down to are actually the same things that get wins on this channel, except with a more cynical, sarcastic viewpoint. At their core, both of these channels are about having fun and enjoying movies, but in different ways. CinemaSins enjoys movies through absurdity and mocking humour, whereas CinemaWins is more about genuine appreciation.
@@nighpaw4651 that's why I never let other people's opinions blind me from watching a movie I will always watch movie then will the judge the movie without outside opinions
As soon as I saw this video I just thought... "He's gonna mention the Metallica's 'The Four Horsemen' Isn't he?" *_THE SOUND OF HOOVES KNOCK AT YOUR DOOR!_* "I knew it."
Chris Joseph , I do think he's dead but I also don't know what people disliked about this movie. I loved it. Amazing opening. The Quicksilver scene was amazing. The amazingness was amazing, as well.
It's not a terrible film, but a lot of the newer characters are wasted, Apocalypse is a completely generic villain who wants to destroy Earth just because, Jennifer Lawrence seems pretty bored as Mystique this time around, and the final act is basically just CGI schlock.
@@masterpenguin8472 Apocalypse is the movie version of Darkseid from DC Comics. The guy is INFINITELY more powerful than any of our heroes COMBINED as he literally has the power to give anyone and everyone unlimited power and has the power to drop people through the floor of the world and trap them underground. He can control all atoms and cells which makes him fucking unbeatable. He has the power to accomplish his goal of killing all humans and allowing mutants to rule the world in an instant, but decides he wants to control everyone's minds. He says he needs Charles to do this but Charles doesn't have enough strength to control that many people, so Apocalypse just gives him the strength. It's almost immediately revealed that Apocalypse inherits the powers of anyone he possess, meaning that when one body gets old and begins to die, he transfers his soul into the body of another mutant, gaining their abilities and maintaining all previous abilities. This is how, over the course of centuries, he's literally amassed the power of God. Apparently, the only ability he needs to accomplish his goal is telepathy, which is convenient. Not only is it ridiculous that there have been absolutely no telepaths before Charles but the way it was set up for the X-men to save him was also very stupid. Apocalypse gave Magneto the ability to control the fucking Earth so he could deform cities, bridges and make impenetrable shields out of it all, he somehow didn't make the decision to get him to put the shield around him to protect him while he possessed Charles. Like, are you kidding me? if you had just shielded yourself like a sane person instead of sending your TWO WEAKEST followers to fight the X-Men then you would have possessed Charles and dominated the Earth. This movie could have been 10 minutes long, five minutes setting up Apocalypse and showing him being uncovered, then the next five minutes him capturing Charles (which takes 30 seconds in the movie, teleport in, use telekinesis to pull Charles to you, teleport out) and possessing him, the X-men wouldn't even have time to react. There is no reason for it not happening this way. There is so much wrong with this movie that I can only give you fragmented opinions here.
He should've gotten an extra win for Fassbender's goddamn dedicated performance. I know he already gave him one for the wonderful acting, but he just deserves another ;)
As usual, appreciate this channel's positivity. 2 things I would suggest that might have made this movie better than mediocre. 1. Magneto. Charles give his best rousing Patrick Stewart speech to turn Eric back to the light... and Eric's like "Yo, what took you so long? Great speech though!" Refusing Apocalypse would be a death sentence, so Eric only pretended to join, and wait for the right moment to rejoin the Xmen. I can imagine his taunting Apocalypse: "I've already lived through one holocaust. Did you really think I would be party to another? Fool!" 2. Apocalypse stealing Charles' power has an unexpected side-effect. Apocalypse also becomes paraplegic like Charles! He can still use telekinesis to move around, but his followers see this as weakness and abandon him. Picture Charles mocking Apocalypse "Having a little trouble there? You're welcome to borrow my wheelchair!"
Right? This movie is really misunderstood and underrated. No one even pays attention to the positives in this movie, they are so bias, so full of blind hate
Why did this movie receive so much hatred? I loved every second of it. One of the best X-Men movies ever made, with the perfect Xavier and Magneto. I know, I know, McKellen and Stewart are amazing, but we never truly saw the full extent of their friendship until First Class or DOFP. Apocalypse perfectly continues that idea, and I'm all for having Magneto on the side of good so we can have the Phoenix on the side of evil.
Boring and underwhelming. Not much focus or development with the X-Men themselves, the Four Horsemen felt underused, pointlessly shoehorned or had no point in the story at all and Apocalypse barley did anything in the movie despite being the title villain. And the whole thing just felt like pointless filler.
is an amazing movie, the people is used to the childish mcu, that is the problem, this one and DOFP along with MoS and BvS are some of the best comic book movies, but they are just for fans :)
+yutube jode childish mcu? I got used to Apocalypse being an unstoppable monster, whom even Wolverine couldn't hurt, who could desintegrate x-men in a few seconds(all that actually happeined in the 90-s x-men series) so I had huge expectations and this movie utterly disappointed me. In the series they defeated Apocalypse in a completely different way, MUCH more complex, epic and interesting. and that was a kid's show, which was far more complex than the movie, which was meant mostly for adults!
i dont care what anyone says about this movie, it gives me so many chills... xavier telling alex to wreak havoc, magneto making an X in front of apocalypse as he chooses the good side, jean unleashing her power, and the callback to x2 at the very end. i love it
I loved this movie, especially because of the fact Kurt had a pretty decent sized role in this film. He's confirmed to be in Dark Phoenix but I'm lowkey scared they might kill him off since he's not shown in the future of the new timeline (although that was a very brief scene in Days of Future Past) but still!! Even though he is a minor character he is definitely my favorite.
@@callmeshaggy5166 I think you misunderstood what I was saying. This comment is three years old so my X-men knowledge has waned, but when I said the new timeline I *meant* the timeline after the retcon of DoFP. Since in X2 we see Kurt, but obviously that’s not canon anymore because of DoFP, so my fear was that since the timeline has changed that would possibly allow for Kurt to be killed off. This fear has been pretty nullified considering that he didn’t die in dark Phoenix. Plus I’ve lost interest in the series, so I don’t really care what they do at this point.
I loved this Xmen movie. I watching it in the theaters for the first time was just amazing. So many surprises. In the trailer I thought Apocalypse was making the concrete storm then in the movie it was actually Eric and that with other things just amazed me. I think they did a good job with the movie and I couldn't have asked for better
_I would love to see Olivia as Psylocke again if the XForce film is confirmed._ _I really enjoyed X-Men: Apocalypse. Oscar did a good Apocalypse, in my opinion._
Apocalypse The Third me too!!! It wasn't as good as some of the other ones, but I did really enjoy it and the characters. I thought the actors were amazing!
Just got done watching the movie, I liked it. It's not a perfect movie, but neither are BvS,CW,SS or DP. I really don't understand the hate for this movie.
You ain't the only one bro. She's meant to be a villain. She was written as a villain. But Fox/Singer don't care about source material. That and the fact that it's that Jennifer Lawrence chick, so they did the stupidest thing... they decided to change the character of Mystique to fit the actress, as opposed to fit the actress to the character. Fox/Singer don't know how to make comic book movies yo
Peter Bayn Well they didn't show the previous Mystique's backstory, so the old Mystique was kinda a villain by default. This Mystique on the other hand has been shown to have had a close relationship with Charles and other good mutants, thus making it easier to accept her being a "good guy" or fighting alongside the good guys. I personally enjoy both sides of Mystique. On one hand, I guess I long for her to go back to the friendly loving character she was when she was with Charles, but on the other hand I enjoy her being a badass villain. She's actually probably one of my favorite villains, male or female. She's flawless.
Christian Bebee But that's the thing man, she didn't need a back story. She's a 2nd tier villain at best. The reason they gave Magneto one is because he's a top tier villain. So was Apocalypse (even though he was horrible). Mystique didn't need or deserve one. They only did that because of the actress portraying her. And she's always been a villain yo. Always. She also has no ties to Xavier. In the new Apoc movie they show that she saves Nightcrawler. Well, if ppl knew who she really was they wldn't like her very much. She's his mother. And his father is Azazel from First Class. She also tried to kill Nightcrawler by throwing him off a cliff when he was a baby. He was found and raised by the church and the circus. I get that things change from the comics to the movies, that's cool. But changing the entire character altogether..?? Nah that ain't right bruh. Doesn't matter who's playing the character, they shld keep it true to the source material
I HATE when people copy ideas...but this is amazing and I'm very happy with it. I love movies and even though there are bad ones I still like to try and find the positives. Seeing somebody express positives in movies is not very common but it really should be. That was a very easy subscribe.
lol Yeah i see the hypocritical nature of what I said...I guess I should rephrase...I really hate when people copy ideas but I think this is a really great twist of somebodies idea. If they copied cinema sins exactly like a lot of people on this site, it would be a lot more annoying.
Jo Vonn This channel didn't copy CinemaSins. They're sister channels, and Lee (the guy who runs this) got permission from CinemaSins to create this channel as an opposite. A balancing force, if you will.
I just saw this movie a few days ago in preparation for Deadpool and Wolverine. Until watching this video, I had NO IDEA that it was Oscar Isaac playing Apocalypse. I guess it says a lot about his performance.
i gotta say, i always loved apocalypse in this movie. I would've only see him from the 97 show and the Evolution show, which 12 year old me to watch religiously, but this portrait felt, idk, right ig. he felt powerful and gave the impression that he was intoxicating to his followers.
While I love Singer’s X-Men films, my favorite film in the franchise was actually not a Singer film. My favorite X-Men film is Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men First Class.
He's already done it two times, DOFP and this was caca. Also, Bryan Singer is capable of making bad things in general. Stan Nolan, the real king of CBMs and a genuinely good human being.
I liked that the 3 films were arcs for Eric, Xavier, and Raven respectively while still having threads of each other's story in them that pay off throughout.
The difficulty with Apocalypse is that X-Men films generally come in "Good" and "Bad" varieties with very little in between. Apocalypse is an example of an X-Men movie that isn't as good as X2, Days of Future Past or First class, and isn't as bad as X3 or Origins. I saw the film expecting it to be awful and enjoyed it.
I really wanted the original cast to be in X-Men Apocalypse, Jean, Storm, Rogue, Cyclops, Iceman, Beast, Angel, Kitty, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Colossus with the new addition of Oliva Munn’s Psylocke
I remember cringing at a few plot holes, but in scale they were insignificant. I could follow the plot, I enjoyed the movie in total, and there were about three or four truly amazing scenes that made it all worthwhile on their own. I will never understand why the X-men movies get so much hate in an otherwise comic friendly era. Especially since they were a driving force in the success of the comic movie in the modern day.
Actually there's 3 group that hates this movie, 1) x-men fan because they change a lot of Thing in this arc. 2)marvel fan Who keep trolling "fox give x-men back to marvel. 3)people who refuse heavy storyline compare to marvel studios movie which is easy for kids understand. For me fox x-men is balanced between marvel and dc movie because fox has funny jokes and serious dark moment. Marvel studios lack serious dark moment maybe a few marvel movie has that for example hulk/ironman 1. While dc is more into serious moment which May give parent not enjoy with thier kids except the old pre dceu.
Jo Vonn, I don't think he could have stopped them instantly, or else he would have. Apocalypse had a lot of power, but he was not truly a god. He relied on people around him to assist him. This makes me believe that he had limitations that were not fully explored. Yes, he was able to eviscerate humans. However, we never saw him do this to mutants. Perhaps those powers do not work against mutants. Perhaps he required rest and recharge. If he was ever truly as unstoppable as you claim, then the only plot satisfying ending would have been for him to win and kill everyone. I don't buy that.
Jo Vonn, considering that the comic has the Phoenix save the day in a massive ex machina moment, I would say that the difference is minor. Character age changes? Who cares? It's an alternate telling. Since they didn't dive too deeply into his character, it doesn't seem to matter much. Maybe Apocalypse should have put up a bigger fight and done more destruction. Maybe he could have killed off a few characters. However, considering that the comics didn't have the balls to leave anyone dead, and had Phoenix simply alter the universe as if the events had never happened, do you think Hollywood is going to go darker and leave bodies on the deck? The simple truth is that the comic ending would have thrown off most people as being cheap. Especially considering that they offered nothing so far to make anyone believe that the Phoenix could be a positive force. Instead they left the idea that Phoenix is the same evil seen in the previous movies and that Charles had to reluctantly force Jean to tap into it because he had no other choice.
Jo Vonn, I admit it had some holes, but most of what you are complaining about happens in every adaptation. Considering how often comics are ret conned, I think you are stretching to complain about all the ways this was different than the version of the comics you like.
Jo Vonn, I agree that he should have had a moment with Magneto. I was quite disappointed by that and it seemed to alter the flow of the character within the movie itself. The rest though... You can argue that they were bad character changes. I might agree with you, but they made sense in the movie. That's what's really important. Unlike say, The Force Awakens, which might make lots of sense if you read the book but was a jumble of bullshit on screen.
Man, I love this channel. Yeah...sometimes it`s cathartic to have someone tear a movie you don`t like to shreds. It`s just so more satisfying to have someone gush about a movie you love. After watching your Man of Steel review, I was hooked. Keep up the great work!
I never noticed Apocalypse's House of M reference with Apocalypse saying, "No more superpowers," instead of Wanda saying, "No more Mutants," despite the fact they had the same goal of erasing Mutantkind from existence; at least until I watched this video, but I'm surprised you didn't win that by itself since you did play the scene he says it
4:52 This scene was so heartbreaking. A nazi told him his father was dead and his mother got killed in front of him. Then his wife and daughter were both killed in front of him, and he couldn't do anything. He asks Apocalypse "Where were you when my father and mother were slaughtered in this place?" The way he says it just shows that he never forgave himself for their death. He always thought they died because of him. Then when he destroys Auschwitz, you can see the look of fear and awe in everyone's face. Even Apocalypse. Even he wasn't expecting that power from Erik. Then when he yells, you can see and feel his pain, his guilt, and the thought that he can't love anyone, in fear that they would be taken from him. The pain and anguish he released was the most heartbreaking thing I have ever seen
I know it's a really weird thing to focus on considering all the other brilliant stuff in this movie, but I really loved the dude that played Caliban and I'm kind of sad they've recast him for Logan. Something I would have liked to add to the film would have been shots of people helping others during the finale. I know it would have been difficult to do without breaking pace but I would have been great as a callback to Charles' message. And not just mutants helping humans, but maybe humans helping other humans, humans helping a mutant who was in trouble, a way of showing that 'those with power' doesn't exclusively mean mutants.
Z BWorth They didn't recast the role. The director/casting director of Logan needed a character with his abilities and we're not aware of Apocalypse using him when the script was being written. But I thought the same thing until I watched Logan's special features.
i love that in both the movies he featured in, quicksilvers scenes were at the top in terms of points, even tied with jean grey, the main event of the movie. i know those scenes take so insanely long and so much effort to make but id quite honestly live for even just one more. he steals the show every time, its no wonder everyone was hopeful during wandavision. we all need more of those beautiful slow mo shenanigans
I really enjoyed this movie but I guess the hate is how some characters got wasted like Archangel, Nightcrawler, Psylocke (who's story is clearly not quite over). I for one wished Nightcrawler wasn't just a comical relief and had more interactions with Mystique eventually leading to the point where he was confirmed as her son
Honestly, I loved it up until they got to the final fight. It felt so fake to me and filled with things that didn't really make sense. Apart from those final action scenes, I did enjoy the movie a lot. DOFP will always remain my favourite, unfortunately.
*What doesn't work*: -Quicksilver's entire fucking arc is shitted on when he doesn't tell Erik. To me, that's just bad writing.. -And I disagree with u on JLaw. Other than her scene with Erik and Quicksilver, she didn't even try. -Apocalypse is THE X-Men villain and the only consequences are hair loss and a broken leg. I don't believe that dying is the only consequence, but this is where it needed to happen---should've snapped Raven's neck *What works*: -The BEST thing about this movie is Erik. Fassbender gave a fantastic performance yet again and had a good arc. -Seeing Charles kick the shit outta Apocalypse was also fucking dope! -The new X-Men I love the positivity, which is why this is one of my favorite channels, but Apocalypse just makes me sad. No, it's not a trainwreck, but it sucks that it's just ok. Like that's fucking heartbreaking to me.. First Class and DOFP were phenomenal, which makes Apocalyose so disappointing :/
I. Th. Oh JLaw is a fantastic actor. She's amazing when she tries. However, in Apocalypse she mailed it in hard. Like I said, the only scene I actually felt something from her was when she was trying to talk Erik down with Quicksilver
I. Th. I just thought her line delivery was weird. There was no emotion behind anything. Cyclops is like "we can't control our powers" and with a straight face (almost to the point where she's just reading the line) she goes "then don't...this is war.." Lol but I'm glad it worked for you. Maybe I would've enjoyed the movie more if I felt the same.
I hate how the scene where quicksilver tells Mystique that Magneto is his dad was never used or was meaningless, like it never lead to anything, I feel like they should've at least done more with that
Sometimes when I get really sad I watch your videos because your voice has such a calm and nice dad like, I lost my dad when I was 4 so it’s nice to have people like you around
I haven't watched the video yet, but looking at the description...did people really...NOT LIKE this movie? Is it because Wolverine was only there for one scene? Is it because Havoc died? Was the movie too awesome for them? Seriously, this movie was awesome!
The film was mostly hated to the point of people saying its on the same level as X-Men Origins Wolverine and The Last Stand. I couldn't understand it either.
Watching this video, I could see a few things that diehard fans would certainly be upset about, like Psylocke only having her blades and not her telepathy, or the Phoenix Force STILL being passed off as a natural part of Jean's powers instead of an outside force, but beyond that I fail to see the reason for the hate.
AlphaXTitania I have to admit I hate Jean Grey as she's portrayed in all the movies. Phoenix was never part of Jean it only latched onto Marvel Girl and turned her into Phoenix. up till that point Jean was a very relatable character not dark and moody in need of constant control
+Jo Vonn Well, what would YOU do in this situation? X-Men 1, 2, and 3 were jam-packed with mutants, and you couldn't put Havok in there with everyone else. Then X-Men: First Class comes around and another director decides to put Havok in it because they need a new cast of mutants. And Cyclops isn't in it because of X-Men Origins: Wolverine established he was about 12 in that timeline. PLUS, if you were to make Cyclops Havok's older brother ANYWAY, Cyclops would be about 60-70 in the epilogue in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
I love how Psyloch actually show her strategic mind set when she is first confronted by apocalypse with how she uses her energy blade to keep him at bay instead of her normalish katana.
Hate to say I've watched this video before seeing the movie, but I just had to because I had one major thing holding me back: the fear that I wouldn't like it because of how different this Apocalypse would be from the one I grew up with. X-Men Legends 2, which stars Apocalypse as the main villain, was my favorite video game until I played Borderlands 2 with a friend, and in my mind I'd rather not watch a movie than let something like that ruin it for me, so I finally get to my point. What you showed in your video convinced me I'm going to love this portrayal of one of my favorite villains, so thank you for that
A minor problem I have with the comics is that other than Claremont, the writers seem to think that Nightcrawler can't be funny and religious at the same time. He's either fun with no mention of his faith (which is fine because who brings up the fact that they're Catholic all the time?) Or he's super grimdark religious. For Apocalypse, the fans were given a more light-hearted Kurt with a nice nod Who to his faith as well. It accomplished what none of the cartoons or even many of the comics haven't so far. What I'd really love to see next is the confident, sexy, duel-wielding (or tri-wielding) swordsman. is also religious and funny.
I only have 2 gripes still. How Apocalypse looks (the actor was fine he did a good job but he really should have been a bit bulkier, Apocalypse is intimidating not only from his voice or actions but from his very presence and looks) and the fact that despite the fact that Mystic supposedly came to terms with her looks she stays in human form 90% of the time (i know the actor refused to wear the makeup the entire time but at that point they should have replaced her).
She didn't want the attention she would have been constantly getting from staying in her blue form as she was basically an icon by that point. It's really not that hard to understand in the story perspective and it honestly makes sense
Big staircase doesn’t she state that her issue is their using her as a mutant rights symbol but not helping people? If that’s the case why doesn’t she use her form to rally people to be more active. Maybe the reason why nobody is doing anything is because they need guidance Honestly a much better explanation would be she’s still a wanted fugitive. Just because she saved Nixon that doesn’t change the fact she’s committed several acts of terrosim
Yeah Jennifer Lawrence is kind of a piece. Nightcrawler stayed in his makeup for the whole movie AND the whole Dark Phoenix movie. But precious Jenny can't commit to her character.
This video reminds me of why I first fell in love with this channel. You winning a movie I didn't really like and pointing out the good things about it makes me reevaluate it. And even when I still think it's not a great movie it's just so nice to a non-negative vibe sometimes. When I first found this channel you seemed to only win movies that had been judged bad by the majority which I thought was very unique. However, I also understand that for your channel to grow you had to win so many of the popular movies that no one really thinks are bad. Just personally I prefer you changing my opinions instead of just validating them. But, no matter if your doing good or bad movies this channel and its tone will always be a cornerstone of my youtube experience.
I think the biggest sign of a good movie/scene is when I don't even need to be watching the movie for the chills/goosebumps to come. Just watching the Quicksilver and Phoenix scenes in the video made me giddy.
I really liked this film when I first saw it and it was a window for me into the franchise, all of which I now own on DVD, but when I saw the others I started to view this one as a bit inferior. This really made me remember the pretty badass action and fear when apocalypse does his 'you can't strike god" thing. Thanks bro
I liked X-Men Apocalypse better as much as Iiked Cap Civil War. So many great scenes & a end credit scene that already ties in going in the direction I want for the new timeline.
What I particularly liked about the Quicksilver sequence in this one was the gradual transition from leisurely clean saves, moving people all the way to safety and stopping to have a snack, or a bit of fun, to the end when he's literally throwing people out of the nearest window as he realises that even with his speed, the explosion's threatening to out-pace him...
rmsgrey I think he did that because he was bored of talking them outside one by one

@@matthewprue1010 I think you misinterpreted the comment.
everyone*gets upgrade from apocalypse*
magneto*just learns metal is everywhere*
Dragon Boi A testament to Magneto’s terrifying power.
A misconception of Magneto's power it's that he just controls metal, it more scientific than that, he can even control electromagnetism wich is one of the FOUR elemental forces in the universe, this is actual science, in the comics he has stated he can sense Jupiter's magnetic force field, that bananas is his power
Osbaldo Cruz damnn one of the reasons why I freaking love Magneto
Osbaldo Cruz Magnetism itself isn’t a fundamental force, electromagnetism is
Magneto is an OMEGA level Mutant. Not just because of his ability to control every ounce of metal on the entire Planet of Earth, but his ability to sense and be able to ALTER any and ALL Magnetic forces. He could legitimatly just destroy the entire Magnetic Field around Earth, killing EVERYONE on it. Imagine being able to do that. Imagine feeling every bit of metal in the entire Earth, even the metal in the Planet's core, and the magnetic field itself. In Magneto's case, he doesn't learn "metal is everywhere", he learns the extent of his OMEGA level abilities. Apocalypse only shows him that his power literally wraps around the entire planet.
I wish that the fact the Magneto is Quicksilver’s father was touched upon in this. I would have liked for Peter to tell Eric that he is his son. Then have him and Raven leave like they did, leaving Eric conflicted. When he hears Peter’s scream that pushes him hard enough to help the good guys. Heck I might write this.
ik :(
I know! I was so salty about that but at the same time it makes sense. It's hard to fit multiple storylines and arcs into one movie. Putting that aside for later was the right move *BUT I hope it'll be executed well.*
You mean other than the touch upon moment in DOFP and how (because of that) Quicksilvers suffering turns Eric?
@@chartreusephoenix6581 I don’t think Peter himself knows, but he told Eric enough that he knows that’s the case, as such his screams *DO* have that effect, whether it’s clear or not
yEs
Fun Fact: That line "You can fire your arrows from the Tower of Babel... But you can NEVER. STRIKE. GOD!!!!" Was actually a last second addition to the script. Singer actually pitched it to Isaac after a lunch break. Also they had to do 2 EXTRA takes of that scene where Erik kills the officers while holding his dead family. the first take was so perfect, that some of the crew had to leave the set during the filming of the scene to cry. Also, Singer makes an appearance in the movie during the scene when Wolverine is killing everyone in the facility.
also, 7:30... Talk about "Ride the lightning"...
I cried a little many times in this one
@@wayneigoe6722 nice, but your time stamp is a few seconds off.
@Taco boi extras As I recall, Mr. Singer points himself out on the audio commentary during that scene. If memory serves, he said he was the guard that wolverine chased into the corner of the hall and then killed off screen. It's been a while since I last watched the film, so I may be a bit rusty... But rest assured, he IS there.
Bryan Singer should rot in hell, and so should his crappy X-Men films.

still better than last stand, i enjoyed dark phoenix a lot.
Well if it was me, it would be, that eventually Jean would go dark Phoenix and that space genocide event? She would remember the event but not necessarily because she herself did it, more that the dark phoenix took over for awhile and she now has the burden of knowing what just happened.
TLDR: She's haunted by the fact something inside her killed millions even though it wasn't her fault.

I love Quicksilver. He makes everything better.
But We can't see him in the movie again
Just because someone likes the X MEN version more than the MCU version does not mean he doesn't read comics.
The MCU Quicksilver was a lot like the comic version sure, but not every thing the comics do is better.
This one is surprisingly a way more interesting character.
PlayingGoji exactly! The MCU Spider-Man is probably a lot like the comics, but is so much less likeable than Garfield. To me, at least.
Marvel Forever close enough. Much better than the Avengers one.
Marvel Forever at least 90 percent of the audience won't have read the comics. Also, hate is a strong word! :-)
Can I just mention that Michael Fassbender is one of the greatest actors ever breathing ? Cause all those quick scenes and we still got hooked to his character. He can play anything and still make a great performance.
Like all other good actors he learned in UK like Gary Oldman Christian bale micheal Caine and Tom hardy ! G
He also has a huge cock!
Fassbender, Keanu reeves, Tom Hardy , and McAvoy walk onto a SET.... Greatest actor's all in one movie... idc what it is i know those 4 would make the MOST amazing Movie.
@@ciscobriones5904 Keanu Reeves? Everyone agrees that the man is a wonderful human being... but a bad actor.
"What's this rated"
Can we please be honest with ourselves and acknowledge the X-men movies are on the grittiest end of PG-13?
I think we all had the same thought when we went and saw the movie, I remember my dad and I sitting there, ready for a typical X-Men movie with typical X-Men violence and then both of us said "hooo, shit!" and looked at each other at the same time when that one horseman liquefied those dudes

Gotta admit, my favorite parts of the movie was just Magneto's whole story arc. I don't often cry at the theater, but when he wound up losing everything he had tried to regain, I lost it. That guy just can't catch a break.
I'm honestly so glad this channel exists. As much as I enjoy Honest Trailers and Cinema Sins now and then, the internet seems to cultivate this mass mentality that hating something is actually a fun and worthwhile undertaking. Satire is great, but most people seem to take too far, and in too large a volume. There's no need to spit so much bile about films or TV shows that were good, mediocre, bad, or just not one's kind of thing. I love me a good discussion, but I don't understand the mentality of it being fun and cool to just hate hate hate everything.
The fact there's a Cinema Wins channel - and that it's successful - restores a lot of my faith in the wider internet community, and I hope this channel's viewership only continues to grow. All things in moderation, and for every Cinema Sins, there must be a Cinema Wins.
can i like this post twice
Jam Pot Studios well said
Jo Vonn My comment wasn't purely in reference to this film, but in terms of internet audience reactions as a whole being largely and unnecessarily negative. X-Men: Apocalypse itself was deeply flawed, full of stifled character moments and weird storytelling decisions; however, it's disheartening to see people be so vile about it. The same went for Age of Ultron: whether the film is good or bad, some of the things that people spammed Joss Whedon with over social media were just disgusting. You wouldn't say that to someone's face in real life (or, if you would, you should really reconsider socialising with anyone ever) and the fact that it seems to be okay to be so foul-mouthed over nothing over the internet is indescribably sad. A bad film isn't a reason to send someone death threats, or to use social media to "shame" them. It's not smart, it's not funny, and it certainly isn't an appropriate way to interact with others.
Also, as a side-note, the majority of the audience for any comic book movie is people who haven't read the comics (and when I say majority, I mean between 80% and 90% at the very least) so concessions on fidelity will always have to be made. Not to mention that the format of a comic book narrative is vastly different to a 2-hour film narrative. Some studios are better at translating comics to the screen than others, but the same can be said of any genre of films or format being adapted for film.
Film criticism is one thing, and I'm glad to have a good discussion over controversial or divisive films, but there is a culture of needless hate, in which reason has no place. That's sad. Very sad.
Jam Pot Studios couldn't have put it better
Joe Sycamore Thanks :)
I love this movie! The only 'win' I would say you missed is Beast's reaction to Professor Xavier telling Alex to 'wreak Havoc'. His face was pure devastation. Which when you think about it, fits his character, since he spent who knows how many hours building and perfecting it. Xavier just told his friend to kill his baby. In front of him. And there's nothing he can do to stop it.
Love the channel!!!!!
I agree!
Also- kind of unrelated but I was just curious since I just finished the movie, why was Charles screaming and then went unconcious when Alex destroyed Cerebro? Was it cause his mind was connected to it and so when it was destroyed it he felt it? I wanted to ask u since u noticed that small detail so I thought maybe you would know the answer lol
@@elizabethcatlion7015 Maybe it was not only the Cerebro part that made him like that but since he is trying to cut connections with apocalypse in that part is what also is maybe what made him scream
@@lucydreemurr5781 that might be true. Good point.
It did seem to get worse though when they tried to touch him or turn off Cerebro, especially when Alex started destroying it- basically whenever it was physically touched. I was thinking, we saw in DoFP that Charles made the control panel on Cerebro short out (or whatever it was doing I forget) so maybe it’s doing the opposite now? Like whenever Cerebro is touched it’s hurting him instead of vise versa? Or maybe it does have something to do with Apocalypse more directly like Apocalypse is trying to protect his connection to Charles and therefore preventing people from stopping it- idk
@@elizabethcatlion7015 maybe something like that.
What I loved about Olivia Munn as Psylocke is that behind the scenes she argued tooth and nail with Bryan Singer to make Psylocke as comic accurate as possible and she won the argument.
Yeah but she was wasted in the movie. She deserved way more screen time. But did manage to make an impression even w what little she was given to work with.

To be fair, Dark Phoenix makes Apocalypse look like Godfather 2 haha. In all seriousness though, it's a pretty good movie, I watched it for the first time this past summer, It's pretty good
"Because you're alone... And I am... Not !" Ooooh that moment... I almost cried the first time...

If they had replaced the Mystique storyline with cyclops' deleted scenes it would've been amazing.
@@scrabdusanproductions2104 well wasn't this cyclop's origin story movie?
Same, the whole movie was a complete eyegasm to me and seeing Psyloche in a proper outfit was a BIG win for me :p. The only problem with it is compared to the other X-men storylines is the story is a bit simple and people used that to say the whole movie is completely horrible
The Apocalypse scene of him single-handedly dismantling the world nuclear arsenal... honestly, its perfection. The single best villain moment/scene of 2016. I still get goosebumps whenever I watch it.
Then everything else after happens lol. Half the movie they built him up, half the movie they used him as a 2nd bad guy. Horrible writing on the bad guy's part.
Thubelihle Zondi You saved your comment with "in 2016", lmao, good job
The only thing was, if he wanted to obliterate the entire world, APOCALYPSE WHY WOULD YOU NOT DO ANYTHING WITH THE NUKES?!?!?!?!
GameRazor247 He's not trying to make the Earth uninhabitable. And using nukes would kill mutants too, that isn't what he's trying to do.
Sebastian Shaw wanted to use nukes to multiply the number of mutants. Apocalypse disarmed the nukes so that they wouldn't hurt the mutants that already exist. Interesting how this series has such conflicting motives for its antagonists.
Okay I love how at 7:53 he starts laughing that quicksilver is kicking butt then immediately cuts to saying Ohhhh that's brutal when his leg gets broken. I can't be the only one who loved that. By the way movies amazing and I love how they addressed the fact that people thought apocalypse wasn't intimidating enough even though he rocked and brought goosebumps with every scene he's in. I mean the dude took down quicksilver "brutally" quite well too I might add.
Am I the only one who is in love with how they finally got their uniforms at the end correct? That was beautiful

@@willieodea4941 that's the xmen franchise for you.
one of my biggest complaints about this movie is that they acknowledged magneto and quicksilver's father/son relationship (even if they never did it justice) but never addressed the fact that mystique is nightcrawler's mother? they had the perfect opportunity to set up a parallel there with quicksilver confiding in mystique that magneto is his father, and they just... didn't.
It's one of the cons with episodic franchises these days. They leave you with breadcrumbs intending for a big payoff in a future movie, one that sometimes never comes.
"Those with the greatest power, protect those without" is my favourite line... anywhere, really.

Lady_ Agitha I agree sometimes there are movies that you want to see then you watch cinemasins video on it and it seems like your going to be disapointed
I disagree. CinemaSins is really fun to watch and, honestly, hasn't made any movie worse for me. A lot of what the sins boil down to are actually the same things that get wins on this channel, except with a more cynical, sarcastic viewpoint. At their core, both of these channels are about having fun and enjoying movies, but in different ways. CinemaSins enjoys movies through absurdity and mocking humour, whereas CinemaWins is more about genuine appreciation.

Amazing opening.
The Quicksilver scene was amazing.
The amazingness was amazing, as well.
It's not a terrible film, but a lot of the newer characters are wasted, Apocalypse is a completely generic villain who wants to destroy Earth just because, Jennifer Lawrence seems pretty bored as Mystique this time around, and the final act is basically just CGI schlock.
Well, now it isnt leading to anything
@@masterpenguin8472 Apocalypse is the movie version of Darkseid from DC Comics. The guy is INFINITELY more powerful than any of our heroes COMBINED as he literally has the power to give anyone and everyone unlimited power and has the power to drop people through the floor of the world and trap them underground. He can control all atoms and cells which makes him fucking unbeatable. He has the power to accomplish his goal of killing all humans and allowing mutants to rule the world in an instant, but decides he wants to control everyone's minds. He says he needs Charles to do this but Charles doesn't have enough strength to control that many people, so Apocalypse just gives him the strength. It's almost immediately revealed that Apocalypse inherits the powers of anyone he possess, meaning that when one body gets old and begins to die, he transfers his soul into the body of another mutant, gaining their abilities and maintaining all previous abilities. This is how, over the course of centuries, he's literally amassed the power of God. Apparently, the only ability he needs to accomplish his goal is telepathy, which is convenient. Not only is it ridiculous that there have been absolutely no telepaths before Charles but the way it was set up for the X-men to save him was also very stupid. Apocalypse gave Magneto the ability to control the fucking Earth so he could deform cities, bridges and make impenetrable shields out of it all, he somehow didn't make the decision to get him to put the shield around him to protect him while he possessed Charles. Like, are you kidding me? if you had just shielded yourself like a sane person instead of sending your TWO WEAKEST followers to fight the X-Men then you would have possessed Charles and dominated the Earth. This movie could have been 10 minutes long, five minutes setting up Apocalypse and showing him being uncovered, then the next five minutes him capturing Charles (which takes 30 seconds in the movie, teleport in, use telekinesis to pull Charles to you, teleport out) and possessing him, the X-men wouldn't even have time to react. There is no reason for it not happening this way. There is so much wrong with this movie that I can only give you fragmented opinions here.

I’m still wondering to this day why this movie wasn’t rated R..

Can we just appreciate on how QuickSilver is one of the very few heroes who can joke around while saving people. That's amazing.
I actually, legitimately think this movie is pretty damn good
Why isn't Erik speaking Polish a win?? That was fucking amazing!
He should've gotten an extra win for Fassbender's goddamn dedicated performance. I know he already gave him one for the wonderful acting, but he just deserves another ;)
+Altair Hedgehog i know right?!
As usual, appreciate this channel's positivity.
2 things I would suggest that might have made this movie better than mediocre.
1. Magneto. Charles give his best rousing Patrick Stewart speech to turn Eric back to the light... and Eric's like "Yo, what took you so long? Great speech though!" Refusing Apocalypse would be a death sentence, so Eric only pretended to join, and wait for the right moment to rejoin the Xmen. I can imagine his taunting Apocalypse: "I've already lived through one holocaust. Did you really think I would be party to another? Fool!"
2. Apocalypse stealing Charles' power has an unexpected side-effect. Apocalypse also becomes paraplegic like Charles! He can still use telekinesis to move around, but his followers see this as weakness and abandon him. Picture Charles mocking Apocalypse "Having a little trouble there? You're welcome to borrow my wheelchair!"
Right? This movie is really misunderstood and underrated. No one even pays attention to the positives in this movie, they are so bias, so full of blind hate
Way way WAY better than CinemaSins. We need some positivity. This is it. You are our shining hope in the dark.
Negativity to is funny sometimes. Cinemasins was hilarious the first few times I saw it
I absolutely agree. You can find flaws in everything, but whats wrong with looking at all the beautiful things?

there is beauty in flaws. The MCU movies for example look flawless, but they are also a bit heartless
Cinemasins is good for bad movies, not my favorite movies. ;-;
7:07 ... I guess Magneto never told Kurt that germans don't make a three that way.
Nightcrawler is obviously a spy.
12:58 I always die on that part, man quicksilver is the best❤ we don't know bro!
Me too bro
Why did this movie receive so much hatred? I loved every second of it. One of the best X-Men movies ever made, with the perfect Xavier and Magneto. I know, I know, McKellen and Stewart are amazing, but we never truly saw the full extent of their friendship until First Class or DOFP. Apocalypse perfectly continues that idea, and I'm all for having Magneto on the side of good so we can have the Phoenix on the side of evil.
DrJonesPHD62 I find it the most apocalyptically dramatic movie I've ever seen.
Boring and underwhelming. Not much focus or development with the X-Men themselves, the Four Horsemen felt underused, pointlessly shoehorned or had no point in the story at all and Apocalypse barley did anything in the movie despite being the title villain. And the whole thing just felt like pointless filler.
DrJonesPHD62 Because it was terrible that's why.
is an amazing movie, the people is used to the childish mcu, that is the problem, this one and DOFP along with MoS and BvS are some of the best comic book movies, but they are just for fans :)
+yutube jode childish mcu? I got used to Apocalypse being an unstoppable monster, whom even Wolverine couldn't hurt, who could desintegrate x-men in a few seconds(all that actually happeined in the 90-s x-men series) so I had huge expectations and this movie utterly disappointed me. In the series they defeated Apocalypse in a completely different way, MUCH more complex, epic and interesting. and that was a kid's show, which was far more complex than the movie, which was meant mostly for adults!
6:18 Sweet Dreams was also released in 1983 the same for the Return of the Jedi that they saw in the mall scene
i dont care what anyone says about this movie, it gives me so many chills... xavier telling alex to wreak havoc, magneto making an X in front of apocalypse as he chooses the good side, jean unleashing her power, and the callback to x2 at the very end. i love it
I loved this movie, especially because of the fact Kurt had a pretty decent sized role in this film. He's confirmed to be in Dark Phoenix but I'm lowkey scared they might kill him off since he's not shown in the future of the new timeline (although that was a very brief scene in Days of Future Past) but still!! Even though he is a minor character he is definitely my favorite.
Nightcrawler was always my favorite of the X-Men.
@Sébastien Lamart Nightcrawler! He's the blue german guy who can teleport!
There is no "future of the new timeline". The end of DoFP was a ret-con & new ending of the original timeline.
@@callmeshaggy5166 I think you misunderstood what I was saying. This comment is three years old so my X-men knowledge has waned, but when I said the new timeline I *meant* the timeline after the retcon of DoFP. Since in X2 we see Kurt, but obviously that’s not canon anymore because of DoFP, so my fear was that since the timeline has changed that would possibly allow for Kurt to be killed off. This fear has been pretty nullified considering that he didn’t die in dark Phoenix. Plus I’ve lost interest in the series, so I don’t really care what they do at this point.
I enjoyed this movie too, never understood why people hated it.
Because they changed apocalypse look
I loved this Xmen movie. I watching it in the theaters for the first time was just amazing. So many surprises. In the trailer I thought Apocalypse was making the concrete storm then in the movie it was actually Eric and that with other things just amazed me. I think they did a good job with the movie and I couldn't have asked for better
I loved this movie. Idc what anyone else says. The phoenix scene have me Goosebumps. Awesome work singer!
_I would love to see Olivia as Psylocke again if the XForce film is confirmed._
_I really enjoyed X-Men: Apocalypse. Oscar did a good Apocalypse, in my opinion._
One small correction - the "poor soul, looking for trouble" is a scene from X1, not X2 - the Chess scene at the end.
Everything great about x men apocalypse: the scene when quicksikver saves everybody from the x mansion
he didn't give a win for that moment when Magneto looked at Apocalypse and said "Who the f*ck are you?". that was one of the best moments 😂

Just got done watching the movie, I liked it. It's not a perfect movie, but neither are BvS,CW,SS or DP. I really don't understand the hate for this movie.
Civil War was pretty perfect I'd say. Same with Deadpool. BvS and Suicide Squad were terrible, though.
Civil War was garbage
Kaipyro67ALT Civil War was good, I really enjoyed the film. But I wouldn't say it's "perfect" the movie has its flaws just like every other movie.
There is no perfect movie. There never has been and never will be. (Maybe T2)
lovervshater1234 I don't know what you watched.
"No more superpowers"
"You can never strike God" !
This was my favorite Xmen movie by far.
i love this movie specially the scene apocalypse say 'no matter what you have built you can never strike god
Could we just have a Quicksilver movie?
alex davidson a entire movie made of those sequences, COUNT ME THE FUCK IN.
i think its better to have him in small doses so we don't get tired of him. keep him as the highlight of the Xmen movies in my opinion
Digital Jacob They'd probably fuck it up and do only like three of those max if they did do one.
alex davidson no. His antics will get old and won't feel as special.
Ashish Reddy yeah but you would need at least 4 in a movie about him.
I loved the quicksilver scene... but the scene when Jean grey walk in the air and is about to use her power was really breathtaking!
I give this movie a 8 out of 10! I liked it!
I liked it, too.
:s
i respectfully disagree .
+Anonymous I understand, some scenes were stupid, but there're also some great once, so i liked it.
My third favorite X men movie.
for some reason I'm obsessed with the way Apocalypse says "Thank you for letting me in"
I got chills when he said as he took over Cerebro
Magneto making that 'x' reminds of the 'avengers assemble' moment in 'Avengers Endgame'.
Cap - AVENGERS...assemble.
Charles - X-MEN...assemble.
Am I the only one who misses when Mystique was a villain?
Peter Bayn nope, shes designed to be a villian, all she does is sucker punch people. cant believe fox wants to give her a standalone....
You ain't the only one bro. She's meant to be a villain. She was written as a villain. But Fox/Singer don't care about source material. That and the fact that it's that Jennifer Lawrence chick, so they did the stupidest thing... they decided to change the character of Mystique to fit the actress, as opposed to fit the actress to the character. Fox/Singer don't know how to make comic book movies yo
Peter Bayn Well they didn't show the previous Mystique's backstory, so the old Mystique was kinda a villain by default. This Mystique on the other hand has been shown to have had a close relationship with Charles and other good mutants, thus making it easier to accept her being a "good guy" or fighting alongside the good guys. I personally enjoy both sides of Mystique. On one hand, I guess I long for her to go back to the friendly loving character she was when she was with Charles, but on the other hand I enjoy her being a badass villain. She's actually probably one of my favorite villains, male or female. She's flawless.
I liked her arc in the movie, but I don't like Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique at all, so it doesn't really work.
Christian Bebee But that's the thing man, she didn't need a back story. She's a 2nd tier villain at best. The reason they gave Magneto one is because he's a top tier villain. So was Apocalypse (even though he was horrible). Mystique didn't need or deserve one. They only did that because of the actress portraying her. And she's always been a villain yo. Always. She also has no ties to Xavier. In the new Apoc movie they show that she saves Nightcrawler. Well, if ppl knew who she really was they wldn't like her very much. She's his mother. And his father is Azazel from First Class. She also tried to kill Nightcrawler by throwing him off a cliff when he was a baby. He was found and raised by the church and the circus. I get that things change from the comics to the movies, that's cool. But changing the entire character altogether..?? Nah that ain't right bruh. Doesn't matter who's playing the character, they shld keep it true to the source material
I HATE when people copy ideas...but this is amazing and I'm very happy with it. I love movies and even though there are bad ones I still like to try and find the positives. Seeing somebody express positives in movies is not very common but it really should be. That was a very easy subscribe.
lol Yeah i see the hypocritical nature of what I said...I guess I should rephrase...I really hate when people copy ideas but I think this is a really great twist of somebodies idea. If they copied cinema sins exactly like a lot of people on this site, it would be a lot more annoying.
Jo Vonn This channel didn't copy CinemaSins. They're sister channels, and Lee (the guy who runs this) got permission from CinemaSins to create this channel as an opposite. A balancing force, if you will.
"saving all the people" .... wait whos havok again?
CynDer Puma Ooooooo Touche Cyn, Touche
*where's
Mister Explicit im saying who because he forgot who havok was
Darewin Ocampo dont you just hate it when people dont understand your jokes
eww fairy tail
I just saw this movie a few days ago in preparation for Deadpool and Wolverine. Until watching this video, I had NO IDEA that it was Oscar Isaac playing Apocalypse. I guess it says a lot about his performance.
i gotta say, i always loved apocalypse in this movie. I would've only see him from the 97 show and the Evolution show, which 12 year old me to watch religiously, but this portrait felt, idk, right ig. he felt powerful and gave the impression that he was intoxicating to his followers.
I'm beginning to think that Bryan Singer is incapable of making a bad X-Men movie. The original, X2, Days of Future Past, this; all fantastic!!!
Say the same about Dark Phoenix
Irusu he didn’t write that
@@razp3625 what's up with Dark Pheonix? I haven't seen it yet.
While I love Singer’s X-Men films, my favorite film in the franchise was actually not a Singer film. My favorite X-Men film is Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men First Class.
He's already done it two times, DOFP and this was caca. Also, Bryan Singer is capable of making bad things in general. Stan Nolan, the real king of CBMs and a genuinely good human being.
I liked that the 3 films were arcs for Eric, Xavier, and Raven respectively while still having threads of each other's story in them that pay off throughout.
Can we just say Apocalypse is better than X3 and Wolverine Origins
Media Detective yea
Media Detective watching a dog turd for an hour was better then xmen origins
Whoa whoa.... Apocalypse isn't THAT bad lol! A lot of it is disappointing, but there's some pretty good stuff in there
Media Detective it's better than the worst movies in the franchise, yes. But that also says X-Men: Apocalypse wasn't very good either
The difficulty with Apocalypse is that X-Men films generally come in "Good" and "Bad" varieties with very little in between.
Apocalypse is an example of an X-Men movie that isn't as good as X2, Days of Future Past or First class, and isn't as bad as X3 or Origins.
I saw the film expecting it to be awful and enjoyed it.
Quicksilver's needledrop was PERFECT! Steps into frame, with a song from that time that suits the scene amazingly well. So damn good lol
I really wanted the original cast to be in X-Men Apocalypse, Jean, Storm, Rogue, Cyclops, Iceman, Beast, Angel, Kitty, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Colossus with the new addition of Oliva Munn’s Psylocke
I actually get goosebumps every time I hear the 'Wreak Havok' from Charles it's just said so perfectly
I remember cringing at a few plot holes, but in scale they were insignificant. I could follow the plot, I enjoyed the movie in total, and there were about three or four truly amazing scenes that made it all worthwhile on their own. I will never understand why the X-men movies get so much hate in an otherwise comic friendly era. Especially since they were a driving force in the success of the comic movie in the modern day.
Actually there's 3 group that hates this movie, 1) x-men fan because they change a lot of Thing in this arc. 2)marvel fan Who keep trolling "fox give x-men back to marvel. 3)people who refuse heavy storyline compare to marvel studios movie which is easy for kids understand.
For me fox x-men is balanced between marvel and dc movie because fox has funny jokes and serious dark moment. Marvel studios lack serious dark moment maybe a few marvel movie has that for example hulk/ironman 1. While dc is more into serious moment which May give parent not enjoy with thier kids except the old pre dceu.
Jo Vonn, I don't think he could have stopped them instantly, or else he would have. Apocalypse had a lot of power, but he was not truly a god. He relied on people around him to assist him. This makes me believe that he had limitations that were not fully explored.
Yes, he was able to eviscerate humans. However, we never saw him do this to mutants. Perhaps those powers do not work against mutants. Perhaps he required rest and recharge.
If he was ever truly as unstoppable as you claim, then the only plot satisfying ending would have been for him to win and kill everyone. I don't buy that.
Jo Vonn, considering that the comic has the Phoenix save the day in a massive ex machina moment, I would say that the difference is minor.
Character age changes? Who cares? It's an alternate telling. Since they didn't dive too deeply into his character, it doesn't seem to matter much.
Maybe Apocalypse should have put up a bigger fight and done more destruction. Maybe he could have killed off a few characters. However, considering that the comics didn't have the balls to leave anyone dead, and had Phoenix simply alter the universe as if the events had never happened, do you think Hollywood is going to go darker and leave bodies on the deck? The simple truth is that the comic ending would have thrown off most people as being cheap. Especially considering that they offered nothing so far to make anyone believe that the Phoenix could be a positive force.
Instead they left the idea that Phoenix is the same evil seen in the previous movies and that Charles had to reluctantly force Jean to tap into it because he had no other choice.
Jo Vonn, I admit it had some holes, but most of what you are complaining about happens in every adaptation. Considering how often comics are ret conned, I think you are stretching to complain about all the ways this was different than the version of the comics you like.
Jo Vonn, I agree that he should have had a moment with Magneto. I was quite disappointed by that and it seemed to alter the flow of the character within the movie itself. The rest though... You can argue that they were bad character changes. I might agree with you, but they made sense in the movie. That's what's really important. Unlike say, The Force Awakens, which might make lots of sense if you read the book but was a jumble of bullshit on screen.
Loved your Batman V Superman video too.
Nice to see somebody point out the enjoyment to be had in these various films.
Man, I love this channel. Yeah...sometimes it`s cathartic to have someone tear a movie you don`t like to shreds. It`s just so more satisfying to have someone gush about a movie you love. After watching your Man of Steel review, I was hooked. Keep up the great work!
I never noticed Apocalypse's House of M reference with Apocalypse saying, "No more superpowers," instead of Wanda saying, "No more Mutants," despite the fact they had the same goal of erasing Mutantkind from existence; at least until I watched this video, but I'm surprised you didn't win that by itself since you did play the scene he says it
I really don't know why they hate it so much. This movie was Good! I understand its not the Apocalypse from the comics but it was Awesome.
Yeah it's the weakest of the 3 compared to DOFP & FC but I still think it's great.
jdg20042001 same but the middle part got a bit boring(except quicksilver scene)
SARANSH OBEROI
For me was like the first 20 mins to get into it but by the time we saw magneto in the forest is where I was hooked.
jdg20042001 there were many great scenes but as a whole, movie was good but not great.
SARANSH OBEROI
I disagree. I thought it was great but as I said before, it's the weakest compared to FC & DOFP.
4:52 This scene was so heartbreaking. A nazi told him his father was dead and his mother got killed in front of him. Then his wife and daughter were both killed in front of him, and he couldn't do anything. He asks Apocalypse "Where were you when my father and mother were slaughtered in this place?" The way he says it just shows that he never forgave himself for their death. He always thought they died because of him. Then when he destroys Auschwitz, you can see the look of fear and awe in everyone's face. Even Apocalypse. Even he wasn't expecting that power from Erik. Then when he yells, you can see and feel his pain, his guilt, and the thought that he can't love anyone, in fear that they would be taken from him. The pain and anguish he released was the most heartbreaking thing I have ever seen
I know it's a really weird thing to focus on considering all the other brilliant stuff in this movie, but I really loved the dude that played Caliban and I'm kind of sad they've recast him for Logan.
Something I would have liked to add to the film would have been shots of people helping others during the finale. I know it would have been difficult to do without breaking pace but I would have been great as a callback to Charles' message. And not just mutants helping humans, but maybe humans helping other humans, humans helping a mutant who was in trouble, a way of showing that 'those with power' doesn't exclusively mean mutants.
But they got Wheatley from Portal 2 to play him! How is that not exciting?
TF2Fan101 Oh I'm sure he'll do a great job, I just really liked this Caliban and would have loved for the actor to get a bigger part.
Wasn't Caliban the woman with the energy sword? Lee only referred to her as her actor.
Cody Hines Olivia Munn played Psylocke. Caliban is a mutant that can find other mutants
Z BWorth They didn't recast the role. The director/casting director of Logan needed a character with his abilities and we're not aware of Apocalypse using him when the script was being written. But I thought the same thing until I watched Logan's special features.
i love that in both the movies he featured in, quicksilvers scenes were at the top in terms of points, even tied with jean grey, the main event of the movie. i know those scenes take so insanely long and so much effort to make but id quite honestly live for even just one more. he steals the show every time, its no wonder everyone was hopeful during wandavision. we all need more of those beautiful slow mo shenanigans
5:52 I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but quicksilver’s first four steps matched the downbeats of each of the first four measures of the song
The hate this movie gets will never make sense to me.
It never will to any of us.
DarthElmo muther the hate didnt make sense
I really enjoyed this movie but I guess the hate is how some characters got wasted like Archangel, Nightcrawler, Psylocke (who's story is clearly not quite over). I for one wished Nightcrawler wasn't just a comical relief and had more interactions with Mystique eventually leading to the point where he was confirmed as her son
Honestly, I loved it up until they got to the final fight. It felt so fake to me and filled with things that didn't really make sense. Apart from those final action scenes, I did enjoy the movie a lot. DOFP will always remain my favourite, unfortunately.
DarthElmo I know right
*What doesn't work*:
-Quicksilver's entire fucking arc is shitted on when he doesn't tell Erik. To me, that's just bad writing..
-And I disagree with u on JLaw. Other than her scene with Erik and Quicksilver, she didn't even try.
-Apocalypse is THE X-Men villain and the only consequences are hair loss and a broken leg. I don't believe that dying is the only consequence, but this is where it needed to happen---should've snapped Raven's neck
*What works*:
-The BEST thing about this movie is Erik. Fassbender gave a fantastic performance yet again and had a good arc.
-Seeing Charles kick the shit outta Apocalypse was also fucking dope!
-The new X-Men
I love the positivity, which is why this is one of my favorite channels, but Apocalypse just makes me sad. No, it's not a trainwreck, but it sucks that it's just ok. Like that's fucking heartbreaking to me..
First Class and DOFP were phenomenal, which makes Apocalyose so disappointing :/
Wow, no consequences? Those killed by Magneto enhanced powers tend to disagree.
Alex Love
Probably millions across the world.
I. Th. Oh JLaw is a fantastic actor. She's amazing when she tries. However, in Apocalypse she mailed it in hard. Like I said, the only scene I actually felt something from her was when she was trying to talk Erik down with Quicksilver
I. Th. I just thought her line delivery was weird. There was no emotion behind anything. Cyclops is like "we can't control our powers" and with a straight face (almost to the point where she's just reading the line) she goes "then don't...this is war.." Lol but I'm glad it worked for you. Maybe I would've enjoyed the movie more if I felt the same.
The quicksilver scene is by far the best of all x men scenes to date for me
I hate how the scene where quicksilver tells Mystique that Magneto is his dad was never used or was meaningless, like it never lead to anything, I feel like they should've at least done more with that
Sometimes when I get really sad I watch your videos because your voice has such a calm and nice dad like, I lost my dad when I was 4 so it’s nice to have people like you around
At first I was unsure of this channel, but I’m really glad I kept watching more videos. Helping people be more positive on the internet? Always a win
I haven't watched the video yet, but looking at the description...did people really...NOT LIKE this movie? Is it because Wolverine was only there for one scene? Is it because Havoc died? Was the movie too awesome for them? Seriously, this movie was awesome!
The film was mostly hated to the point of people saying its on the same level as X-Men Origins Wolverine and The Last Stand. I couldn't understand it either.
Watching this video, I could see a few things that diehard fans would certainly be upset about, like Psylocke only having her blades and not her telepathy, or the Phoenix Force STILL being passed off as a natural part of Jean's powers instead of an outside force, but beyond that I fail to see the reason for the hate.
AlphaXTitania I thought it was brilliant
AlphaXTitania I have to admit I hate Jean Grey as she's portrayed in all the movies. Phoenix was never part of Jean it only latched onto Marvel Girl and turned her into Phoenix. up till that point Jean was a very relatable character not dark and moody in need of constant control
+Jo Vonn
Well, what would YOU do in this situation? X-Men 1, 2, and 3 were jam-packed with mutants, and you couldn't put Havok in there with everyone else. Then X-Men: First Class comes around and another director decides to put Havok in it because they need a new cast of mutants. And Cyclops isn't in it because of X-Men Origins: Wolverine established he was about 12 in that timeline. PLUS, if you were to make Cyclops Havok's older brother ANYWAY, Cyclops would be about 60-70 in the epilogue in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
I love how Psyloch actually show her strategic mind set when she is first confronted by apocalypse with how she uses her energy blade to keep him at bay instead of her normalish katana.
Hate to say I've watched this video before seeing the movie, but I just had to because I had one major thing holding me back: the fear that I wouldn't like it because of how different this Apocalypse would be from the one I grew up with. X-Men Legends 2, which stars Apocalypse as the main villain, was my favorite video game until I played Borderlands 2 with a friend, and in my mind I'd rather not watch a movie than let something like that ruin it for me, so I finally get to my point. What you showed in your video convinced me I'm going to love this portrayal of one of my favorite villains, so thank you for that
Things I was expecting going into Dark Phoenix: the personalised costumes and Jean having the Phoenix Force in her all along
A minor problem I have with the comics is that other than Claremont, the writers seem to think that Nightcrawler can't be funny and religious at the same time. He's either fun with no mention of his faith (which is fine because who brings up the fact that they're Catholic all the time?) Or he's super grimdark religious.
For Apocalypse, the fans were given a more light-hearted Kurt with a nice nod Who to his faith as well. It accomplished what none of the cartoons or even many of the comics haven't so far.
What I'd really love to see next is the confident, sexy, duel-wielding (or tri-wielding) swordsman. is also religious and funny.
so this channel exists...instantly subbed!
I only have 2 gripes still. How Apocalypse looks (the actor was fine he did a good job but he really should have been a bit bulkier, Apocalypse is intimidating not only from his voice or actions but from his very presence and looks) and the fact that despite the fact that Mystic supposedly came to terms with her looks she stays in human form 90% of the time (i know the actor refused to wear the makeup the entire time but at that point they should have replaced her).
Ashaira Well, at least this movie isn't as bad as The Last Stand or Wolverine Origins, or "Fant4stic" for that matter.
Agreed! So happy to hear they killed here off in Dark Pheonix. Never really liked here after First Class.
She didn't want the attention she would have been constantly getting from staying in her blue form as she was basically an icon by that point. It's really not that hard to understand in the story perspective and it honestly makes sense
Big staircase doesn’t she state that her issue is their using her as a mutant rights symbol but not helping people?
If that’s the case why doesn’t she use her form to rally people to be more active. Maybe the reason why nobody is doing anything is because they need guidance
Honestly a much better explanation would be she’s still a wanted fugitive. Just because she saved Nixon that doesn’t change the fact she’s committed several acts of terrosim
Yeah Jennifer Lawrence is kind of a piece. Nightcrawler stayed in his makeup for the whole movie AND the whole Dark Phoenix movie. But precious Jenny can't commit to her character.
This video reminds me of why I first fell in love with this channel. You winning a movie I didn't really like and pointing out the good things about it makes me reevaluate it. And even when I still think it's not a great movie it's just so nice to a non-negative vibe sometimes.
When I first found this channel you seemed to only win movies that had been judged bad by the majority which I thought was very unique. However, I also understand that for your channel to grow you had to win so many of the popular movies that no one really thinks are bad. Just personally I prefer you changing my opinions instead of just validating them. But, no matter if your doing good or bad movies this channel and its tone will always be a cornerstone of my youtube experience.
I think the biggest sign of a good movie/scene is when I don't even need to be watching the movie for the chills/goosebumps to come. Just watching the Quicksilver and Phoenix scenes in the video made me giddy.
IKR?
this movie was not as bad as everyone says . still not as good as the 1st two though.
It was better than First Class honestly. Not as good as Days of Future Past though.
FC is more convincing in terms of characters' relationship.
Ryan R. hell no
Simon Shephard In a few cases, maybe, but there were so many characters in that movie that I don't even remember unlike Apocalypse.
Nikhil Shende What? You saying Days of Future Past isn't the best of the three? Lol
I really liked this film when I first saw it and it was a window for me into the franchise, all of which I now own on DVD, but when I saw the others I started to view this one as a bit inferior. This really made me remember the pretty badass action and fear when apocalypse does his 'you can't strike god" thing. Thanks bro
I liked X-Men Apocalypse better as much as Iiked Cap Civil War. So many great scenes & a end credit scene that already ties in going in the direction I want for the new timeline.
The apacolypse nap joke slays so funny it instantly gets a chuckle
0:31 - Someone has to do a back story about how that gold transference liquid and freaky ancient Egyptian technology came to be.
