Still has the best "speedster" scene in any movie ever. What an amazing scene.
Honestly, I enjoyed this movie. It's not as strong as some of the others, but there are some truly amazing moments in it.
Yeah, same here. I thought it was the best when I first watched it. And even though it isn't as good on repeat viewings, I think it's still a really solid movie, if maybe a bit formulaic.
Same, I enjoyed all the young actors and I thought they were well cast. The story.. not that great but everyone put 110% into their roles. Oscar Isaac was great as Apocalypse as well.
X-men apocalypse is a mixed bag of a film but i love that quicksilver sequence
Peter and Wanda were Erik's kids in the comics but their origin has been retconned several times. Currently, they aren't even mutants anymore.
I thought Wanda still was technically but the utilization of magic AND the experimentations with the mind stone enhanced and unlocked her powers. She’s just called a Witch because she uses magic more than her natural powers at this point, it’s basically a combination of both. Same with Pietro/ Peter ( Quicksilver I guess), he already has powers and was experimented on.
@@dylancole1910 Initially Scarlet Witch was just name for Wanda because her telekinesis was so powerful (like jean) that that she could've manipulated her surroundings and everything however later on they wanted to expand her lore and made her have chaos magic this is the pre OG concept around X men Evo. In later adaptations aka mcu Wanda is random person with this power/In X men its explained why she has them but you're right Wanda is technically Alpha level mutant 1 level below Jean (idk if u know the classifications) but her chaos magic makes her on omega level. There is common misconception that Wanda is omega lv however this ain't the case since Wanda was held back by Xavier (another alpha class in MOM) she won due to the enhancements the Darkhold provided if she was Omega Xavier wouldn't even be able to penetrate her mind and block her movements it would look like what happened here with apocalypse however keep in mind that by cannon Apocalypse is also considered Alpha level aka lv 4 if u watched X men trilogy instead of comics or 97.
Mutant powers don't usually manifest until puberty. Commonly triggered by trauma or a heightened emotional state.
Was coming to post the same thing
Not enough people really know about mutants, I think.
Because the whole mutant theme is a metaphor about change and growing up, not being accepted, like reaching puberty and realize you're gay or that you're not going to follow your parents steps. X-Men is based on that
Prolly more so on race back when Xmen comics started.
Oscar Isaac, Apocalypse himself, was asked at a Q&A session while promoting his MARVEL Series Moon Knight, and one interviewer asked what was the one film he regrets doing, and it was X MEN Apocalypse, as he didn't like the suit or the makeup and the suit felt very bulky and couldn't find a place to sit down. He went on to say that Apocalypse is cool on paper, but in film, not so much.
Apocalypse's most villainous-felt moment is when he launches all the nukes into space, but does that even count as a villain action?
On the plus side, the Psylocke costume was maybe the most comic accurate costume, that didn't looked cringe, i ever saw in a live action movie.
That's ok , he got paid plenty, I'm sure
Because he has to be done as a CGI character on the level of Hulk and Thanos.
they could have made him cool on film. They just failed, spectacularly, to do that here. I mean... they pulled off Thanos pretty brilliantly in the MCU. Apocalypse is a pretty similar character. But good god did they manage to f* it up...
Oscar Isaac was phenomenal in this... such a great actor, man! I was frankly shocked to learn after watching the film that this guy was Poe Dameron in star wars! He deserves all the big roles he's getting in literally every famous franchise now with those acting skills. To name some of them...
Apocalypse in X-Men movies
Moon Knight in Marvel Universe
Poe Dameron in Star Wars
Spider-Man 2099 in the Spiderverse films
Leto Atreides in Dune films
YES... YES... & YES !!! I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE !!! 👍💖😀😍
Still a pity that he had such an intensely uncomfortable (and by uncomfortable, I mean almost PAINFULLY so) experience with the make up and costuming he had to wear for the role…
The vastly underrated, Inside Llewyn Davis. A Coen Brothers film.
@@austingillum4807 is there a place I can find info on this?
@@mattschliemann9683100%. Just look up Oscar Isaac Apocalypse costume, Oscar Isaac Apocalypse makeup, or any similar variation, and you’ll find sources talking about it. Hell, the man himself has admitted to how utterly miserable he was in wearing that costume and makeup.
Did you catch what Jean said when she came out of the movie theater. "The third movie is always the worst." X3?? 😂😂
But this is also the third of this trilogy 😫
And yet I still love X3 and this movie
@@seantds619 I hated that they had to kill jean cuse she did not deserve it.
#IBlameAviArad
The Phoenix force is compared with Scarlet Witch and in the comics. She is so powerful that only One above all (the supreme entity of marvel comics) can calm her down. And speaking of Scarlet witch, Wanda and Quicksilver are his children in the comics too.
The reason Quicksilver didn't Magneto that he is his son because he didn't want to get his heart broken again if he dies too.
Or maybe because he didn't want to be associated with a worldwide-known terrorist.
The "let it go Jean" moment always brings tears into my eyes.
Else what i really like in this movie was especially the Psylocke costume, so comic accurate without beeing cringe. And some of the actions from Magneto just look so great.
Olivia Munn refused to do the role without a comic-accurate outfit
Olivia Munn made that outfit work
@@thedrizzle06925 Yeah, great job from Olivia and also the team who did that outfit. I just wished she had more screentime.
Comic book movies that are embarrassed to be like comic books are where a lot of the worst things in comic book movies comes from, especially the overabundance of bathos. Comic-accurate suits always look better than the generic, grey-black suits studios use to make the heroes look "cool" and edgy.
@@DragonbIaze052 While I think the MCU has a real bathos problem, the costumes have been at least fine.
The most underrated X-MEN film bar none.
The reason for Mystique coming to the fighting arena for Kurt is because she's his mother. Basically she got it on with the red teleportation devil from First Class wasn't explained but comics say they're related
just for the record: Azazel was the red guy's name
pretty sure that's not the case here
@@craigime it was otherwise Nightcrawler wouldn't exist remember Mystique is older than she looks so her being a mother to a teenager kind of makes sense given what we saw in Days and Apocalypse
@@leonardolonghi3472 thank you for that I forgot the name
@@solrachernandez3389 nightcrawler was also in X2.. but he wasn't Mystique's son then. that's just an assumption. that's how it is in the comics, but the movies don't always follow the comics- especially these X men movies
Addie, you truly make re-watching a film better than it should be!! Your reactions are so honest and I love watching your thought process as they progress!! Much love!
This movie gets so much unnecessary hate, Oscar Isaac was excellent as En Sabah Nur.
For me, I never found the fight between Xavier and APOCALYPSE Cheesy. I love how he fights him in his house because the mansion is so iconic for the series.
Idk what people expect from Charles in there. He was half dead by that point, but he still went in to fight and saved Mystique. Held on the fight and finally managed to invoke Jean's powers. Who could have done that, if not Charles btw?
Watching Wolverine in action as Weapon X was my favorite thing about the whole film.
Apocalypse aka the main villain is a class 5 mutant since he was among the first mutant just like Jean is a class 5. Those two are the strongest yet Jean manages to destroy the livin heck out of him.
About Magneto being Quicksilver's (and Wanda's) father: it has toggled back and forth quite a few times. Like much comic book "canon" is seems to mostly be based on what's convenient for the particular writer and the particular story that they're telling.
except, in this case, just like any de-Mutantized character in 2010s, it was all about preventing Fox from using them and allowing Marvel instead
political retcons can get screwed
This is another of the Marvel-related movies that is much more enjoyable for viewers who know nothing about the comics. It has some good moments, and overall, I enjoy it. But my dad did give me an hours-long overview of all the things it got "wrong" compared to the comics, so I get why comic book fans didn't like it so much.
I must have misremembered the release order. I thought that "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" was the next movie. But I won't complain about getting "Logan" a little sooner than I expected. Watching your reaction to it will be awesome. I already know it. And I personally am looking forward to "The New Mutants" reaction, though I am definitely in the minority on that one. Maybe I'm biased, but I enjoyed it. In any case, lots to look forward to! ✌🤓
Prepare your tears when you watch Logan (2017)
I wonder if she’ll watch ‘X-Men: The Animated Series’ in preparation for the ‘X-Men ‘97’ series that’s coming up, because that would be awesome!
Yes! At least a few select episodes or even just the first two.
" it would be terrifying if you had a baby shooting laser out of it's eyes.." - needs to watch The Boys.
Or "Incredibles 2" 🤣
@@ortizmo yeah that one too.
In the comics, Charles and Moira have a child. The show Legion is based on him as an adult. Charles appears briefly in the final season.
That's Stan Lee with his wife in that seen. R.I.P to both of them 😢
I really, really, really like these three prequel X-Men movies.
Fun fact, this was Stan Lee’s favorite cameo out of all of them cuz it was the only one with his wife.
In regards to Cyclops not being born with his crimson eye blasts, mutants are born with the mutant gene but it usually doesnt activate until puberty
Great reaction Addie. I see that most people miss the point of door scene with Chales and Jean. Remember everything is symbolism in the mind. Jean is a more powerful psychic then Charles and remember Apocalypse wanted this power specifically. Charles kept this memory LOCKED because he knew if he couldn't get Charles who would be next..Jean. While powerful was still young and inexperienced. Sophie hats off to her played this well. Charles and Jean are like Father / Daughter. While Jean was more powerful, she was still young and learning from Charles. Jean watching the man she basically called father was being beating to death mentally. She had to watch and Sophie played this so well..the tears in her eyes. Jean was gaining focus here. Giving her will to do what needed to be done. Charles "Unlocking" that door was Jean's que to do as he said unleash her power. One this surprised Apocalypse as he had no clue about Jean of what Jean potential was or abilities until that specific moment. Jean was protecting those she loved...and she knew Charles needed her. I love the daughter protecting her basically father figure. Also just think at how power Charles was to be battling him and STILL able to keep this memory locked from him! Crazy.
Addie at 1714, there is a movie called Iron Man, and when that character is flying near a ferris wheel in the beginning, he asks his computer, Jarvis, what is the record for going into space , and Jarvis shows him the Blackbird, that plane
These last two X-men movies are so goofy. Cant wait for Logan though. That one is a masterpiece
27:20 my cat makes those noises 😸
Caliban was in Logan. He was the one caring for Professor X and sacrificed himself with a grenade. Storm's real name is Ororo Monroe. Storm is her X Name.
x-men apocalypse is my favorite x-men movie!!
Hi Addie, you know what? MCU & XCU are all about Wanda's family. Parents, sister, brother, boyfriend, husband, kids 😂
In the comics scot power had a off switch but as a teen he was in a car acident which damaged either his eyes or brain so he couldnt turn it off
Peter not telling Magneto he has kids, was the worst decision.
Addie, Apocalypse said at around 18 min that he was there at the beginning to fan the flames of humanity, he is an ugly blue humanoid, so is Thanos, he is purple, in the comic book , the Eternals, they fought a group of multi colored ugly humanoids that have been around for thousands of years, they were called the Deviants. one was red, one was yellow, one was green , and they lived underground and tried to take over the world. if you want you can read Jack Kirby's run of comic books, the Eternals, from the 1970s, it was good.
In most cases, mutants aren't born with their powers, and manifest them during puberty. There are a few exceptions, but they tend to have special circumstances (like Nightcrawler, who is part demon in the comics).
Honestly Addie, the way you said Apocalypse. instead of it sounding threatening
it sounded more like a little child having a tantrum xD I don't know it just sounded so adorable
I always tear up for Erik losing his family because he tried so hard to live a normal life and he couldn’t even have that
I loved Magneto in this movie
love that we get Wolverine Nightcrawler, Angel/Archangel and all the classics in this movie. :D
The end scene with the guy taking a waepon x vail ( weapon x=wolverine) is setting up what would be the next x-men enemy. you see the Essex name pop up in new mutants too.
I hope when they introduce The X-Men & The Fantastic 4 in the MCU in the future they start at the very beginning again w/ Professor X showing how his entire household, parents included, pretty much regularly left him abandoned in the mansion alone because of his freaky and inexplicable powers leaving Charles to think he was insane. Then he can get himself committed as a young adult, meet and wake-up his future wife Gabrielle Xavier. Then they can introduce their son, David Haller, into the MCU. For those that do not know, David is an Omega level mutant and is the most powerful mutant of the MCU. Sometimes he’s good and sometimes he’s bad because of what the parasitic mutant, Amahl Farouk the Shadow King, who used his powers while he was just a baby. The Shadow King began to manipulate David's memories and his perception of the world. He disguised himself as a beagle named King which would follow David around as a kid, however only David could see King. Farouk also disguised himself as one of David's childhood nightmares, The Angry Boy. A character from a book that Mr. Haller may have read to him called The World's Angriest Boy in the World. It is unsure if Mr. Haller actually read the book or if this is another memory trick from the Shadow King.
Over time the psychological damage from having the Shadow King manipulate his memories took its toll on David's mental health. He became violent punching a peer at prom, he committed petty crimes, and was often publicly intoxicated. Around this time, David's mutant abilities also began to grow in power, shattering the windows of a police vehicle during one such incident. Sometime after this, he is diagnosed with schizophrenia.
While working in an Israeli psychiatric facility, Charles Xavier met a patient named Gabrielle Haller. The two had an affair which ended amicably. Gabrielle became pregnant with David, but did not tell Charles.[2]
David, at a young age, was living with his mother and stepfather in Paris when his home was attacked by terrorists and his stepfather was killed. The trauma of the situation caused an initial manifestation of David's mutant powers, as David incinerated the minds of the terrorists. In the process, he unintentionally absorbed the mind of the terrorist leader, Jemail Karami, into his own. Being linked to so many others at their time of death, David was rendered catatonic for years. As he slowly recovered, he was moved to the care of Moira MacTaggert at the Muir Island mutant research facility. The trauma (possibly in conjunction with the nature of his reality-altering powers) caused David's mind to dissociate chronically until it became Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), each alter manifesting different mutant abilities.[3]
The Karami alter, which manifested telepathic abilities, struggled for years to separate his consciousness from David's. In the process, Karami tried to unify as many alters as he could, trying to end David's catatonic state. Some of the alters resisted Karami, most notably Jack Wayne, a swaggering adventurer who was telekinetic, and Cyndi, a temperamental, rebellious girl who was pyrokinetic. Ultimately Karami, Wayne, and Cyndi continued to exist as David's most prominent alters.
During his time at Muir Island, David saved Moira and Wolfsbane from a fatal accident by accessing the telekinetic abilities of his Jack Wayne alter. However, this allowed Jack Wayne to take control of David's body, and he left the island. The New Mutants tracked him down and, after a struggle, convinced Wayne to allow David to again assume control. Soon after, David was possessed by the Shadow King. While under the Shadow King's influence, David killed the mutant Destiny and destroyed 2/3 of the island. When the X-Men and X-Factor defeated the Shadow King, David was again left in a coma.
The diagnosis of schizophrenia was the most logical for David, not knowing about his mutant heritage. He often heard voices (people's thoughts) and saw things that weren't there (visions caused by Farouk). A psychiatrists prescribed David medicine which would help with schizophrenic symptoms and inadvertently dampened his abilities. Although David believed he could move things with his mind (something that he could achieve) he wrote this off as a delusion and a symptom of schizophrenia thus he never explored his powers.
David’s dissociative identity disorder means he's also wrestled with a variety of personalities that accompany his thousands of powers; each with their own abilities and dispositions, hence his nickname, “Legion”. David can sometimes kill mutants in a rage or on accident and have no idea he’s done it, can consume people and mutants and trap them in one of the numerous universes he has in his mind.
Hey, Addie! Halle Berry was cast for her status as a high profile actress but was never thought appropriate for the role of Storm by fandom. Whether they even bothered with the accent to be comic accurate or whether she had difficulty affecting one is unknown. Alexandra Shipp has a British accent normally but affected a generic African accent for the role. The upbringing as a Cairo street urchin is true. She picks Xavier's pocket when he discovers her. She was never a villain in the comics.
Psylocke has a complex back story. Fangirl Olivia Munn insisted on the strappy Kwannon look when she inhabits a Japanese body but, initially, she is Betsy Braddock, the sister of Brian Braddock aka Captain Britain.
Wolverine's electronic attachments were probably sensors but were included on film to be comic accurate to Barry Windsor-Smith's illustrations for the "Weapon X" storyline.
This franchise wasn't made with a cohesive plan which is why there are so many continuity errors explained as variances in multiple timelines. No one knew the first film would be successful or as impactful on superhero cinema as it was. Once the train left the station, the filmmakers just kept laying down track and the audience went along with it. Characters meet for the first time at different points in the two timelines.
Essex Corp. refers to Nathaniel Essex aka Mr. Sinister, an end-credit scene that pays off somewhat in "New Mutants".
I have a soft spot for the X franchise and am willing to overlook its flaws. The biggest detriment to this film is that Apocalypse doesn't come across as terrifyingly formidable despite his insidious plan to enslave humanity telepathically by co-opting Charles' mind. Apocalypse always seems invincible in the comics and cartoon. His Darwinian philosophy isn't made explicit to those who know nothing about the character; he just seems like your typical megalomaniac.
The highlights are:
-- the Egyptian opening
-- the Magneto family tragedy
-- the introduction of Psylocke
-- the Quicksilver sequence
-- the Weapon X cameo
-- the battle in Cairo using powers in concert (a staple that's always handled well)
-- the psychic avatar duel
-- the new line-up with a bald Charles at the end
I loved how they made Logan look just like the Barry Windsor-Smith illustrations from the "Weapon X" comic. I also really liked the portrayals of Storm by Alexandra Shipp and Nightcrawler by Kodi Smit-McPhee. The guy who played Caliban was also great! The duality of Charles and Erik continues to remain the affecting core of the franchise.
I hated that they started to go down the same Phoenix path they trod before in "X3" but, fortunately, they course-correct in the next movie by making a significant change. The '90s are next with "DARK PHOENIX"!!!!

Also, this portrayal of wolverine is the closest they came to showing Logan’s TRUE brutality potential… UNTIL LOGAN…
"Logan" is a hard "R" rating without Deadpool's sexual humor (so just graphic violence and serious content), plus in an interview the director and producer said "We aren't making a movie to sell Happy Meals". 'Nuff said.
Love the quicksilver scene so freaking much…only good part lol
Disagree, there is some good visuals and acted scenes. The writing is trash but there is a few good thing about this film, not only Quicksilver scene.
@@reynaldolorenzo8409
Nah, man.
It's all crap besides the Quicksilver scene.
And even in that one there's the very dumb flaw of Havok dying off screen and everybody immediately forgetting about him after two lines of dialogue.
@@happyslapsgiving5421 Nah, it’s not all crap. Like I said, yes the writing is trash and I agree the movie has a lot of lazy written scenes and flaws like the scene you mentioned, but still doesn’t take away that the actors did the best they could with the awful writing, Fassbender has an amazing performance, and some of the other actors, it has good VFX and the cinematography is not bad, definitely not all crap. It is a below average movie like a 4.5/10 but if it was all crap it would be 1-3/10, the movie did fulfilled a few filmmaking aspect which is why it’s a below average film. All crap would be Catwoman, Ghost Rider 1-2, Green Lantern, etc.
Mystique is Nightcrawlers mother and that devil looking guy in xmen first class was his father. In the comics of course
Yes, the timeline is all screwed up now.
One thing that bugged me about these later movies is that they're still using the younger cast, even though the time period of the movies is catching up to the time period of the original movies. Remember the flashback showing Charles and Erik going to visit Jean as a child? It was a de-aged Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. But here Jean is already in her late teens, or early 20s and the roles are still being played by James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender. To me, that says that they didn't really care much about continuity with the original movies, they just wanted an excuse to use younger actors.
And again, I encourage you to watch the Deadpool 2 teaser. It doesn't spoil anything about that movie or anything else. It's a funny little, stand-alone Deadpool scene.
Mutant powers often don't express itself until teen years, often under times of extreme stress
At comics and marvel universe, Magnetto is Pietro Maximoff (Quick Silver) And (Scarlett Witch) Wanda Maximoff's dad..
It was interesting seeing Nightcrawler not being Angel and Mystique’s son.😅
I don't get why people say this movie sucks when it's not that bad. Thr story is great, Apocolypse looked awesome as did all the other characters. And Addie, mutants are born with the X gene that makes them mutants but their abilities usually manifest during puberty(Nightcrawler and Mystique being exceptions to this). So they have to deal emerging superpowers and puberty at the same time. Also, in the comics Scott is the older brother to Alex but it's reversed in the movies. This js because the writers and producers of First Class wanted to have characters and powers we hadn't seen before for the most part.
So Addi you haven't seen the advertisement's with Ryan Reynolds asking Huge Jackman if he would like to revise Wolverine in Deadpool 3 & Huge saying "yea why not,?"
The beginning of the end for X-Men movies.
Can someone explain how Stryker got Wolverine if at the end of the last movie it showed that Mystique was pretending to be Stryker when they got him out of the water… I never figured that out and I’m not sure if it’s a mistake or if I missed something
Ya...they never went anywhere with that
Writers retconned it into being the actual Stryker, classic Fox plot hole
That post credit scene was SUPPOSED to be big but unfortunately, at least for now, it never went anywhere.
I personally liked this movie, it was not as strong as the previous two but I thought the themes in it were thoroughly in keeping with the rest of the films and really built a lot.
It is unfortunate that this is the last real world builder for the group as the last was a complete mess. Of course Bryan Singer being a POS did not help. I will hope that the MCU will bring the X-Men back and do right by them but with all the issues at Disney I am thinking it will be post 2028 or later before we find out.
Logan is definitely the "Saving Private Ryan" of comic book movies. I was in ruins afterward. Have only watched once.
This movie is one of those that would be considered terrible if you’re at least somewhat familiar with the XMen lore but perfectly fine if you’re not and just watching for entertainment.
I'd say this is just "bad", while a couple of others classify as "terrible" (like "Last Stand")
28:10 that's what she said
Wanda /The scarlet witch is also magnetos daughter.. So is Polaris you haven't met yet
Polaris was actually the little girl in DoFP
So the end credits scene so far goes unanswered, it's a reference to Nathaniel Essex. Who is in reality Mr Sinister, who in the comics has ties to Apocalypse.
Sinister is deep into DNA and (as best as my memory serves) gets involved in engineering the Summers/Grey coupling to bioengineer a powerful being. This leads to the creation of someone you will meet in a couple Xmen movies from now (in which they will ignore or at least not mention any of this).
I dunno if they had plans to use Sinister in the next movie or after that even, but then Dark Phoenix didn't do so hot and Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, ect... which pretty much ended all previous plans.
Mutants for the most part develop their powers during puberty. There are exceptions, but the majority do it then.
All mutants get their powers around the time puberty starts
with a few exceptions being born with their powers already activated (like Nightcrawler)
Yes, that is Ororo Munroe. 😊
18:26 -- Apocalypse's line, "Come and see" is also the name of an anti-war film about Nazi atrocities.
That movie it’s so impactful. It shakes you hard. Amazing film.
The end scene never came to fruition. Would have led to Mr. Sinister, one of my favorite X-Men villains, but Marvel regained the rights to the franchise before that film was made.
Mutants are latent at birth. Typically they manifest their abilities as teens under stressful conditions. If the mutant is powerful than it can sometimes manifest in childhood like in the cases of Magneto and Jean Grey. 😮
Magneto didn't "get powers during childhood because he's OP" nor did Jean.
They got them as usual, just in very early puberty stage (if we talk about movies, of course)
There are exceptions to the "puberty factor", but they're those who are BORN with powers, like Nightcrawler, and certainly their strength isn't a factor in that
Love Jean so much
Don't let this movie fool you though... Storm DID NOT get her white hair from Apocalypse... She was born with it💁
Full Circle: Apocalypse = Oscar Isaac = Moon Knight !!!
The post credit scene was very Sinister...
respect for Michael Fassbender for speaking polish even though it sounds funny for my ears (my native language) he did a good job anyway. but the girl who played nina i tought she is polish becuase she had little to none accent while speaking polish and she aint one
Did you know that in the comics Mistique is Kurt's mother? 👀
Logan is the best X-Man Movie and there's no reason to even think about second place! I saw it four times in theaters, I loved it so much!
Apocalypse has taken a lot of s**t but it is completely misunderstood and underrated. I love X-Men Apocalypse. Is it a perfect superhero movie like Days of Future Past?? No but that's asking a lot of any movie. I love the acting, the drama, the action , the nuances. I love Quicksilvers scene. I love the Weapon X scene. I love the opening introduction of Apocalypse. I love how they lead into the first appearance of the Phoenix Force. It was an epic moment that felt earned. I don't understand why so many people hate X-Men Apocalypse. I proudly own this movie on Blu-ray
So excited for Logan!!!
I know a lot of people dislike this one, but I rather enjoyed it.
Hey Addie i luv ur reactions, ur a joy and a joy to watch...I love this film, a lot of people did not, i have seen several times, yes Apocalypse looks a bit silly but the fact the actor Oscar Isaac performance is so good the outfit becomes secondary, at least for me..I hope u enjoy it..Much luv from Ireland💚☘️
Quicksilver always has the best shirts and most apt music.
young Storm looks so perfect....
Oscar Isaac wasn't as well known back then and of course you can hardly recognize him. But he was excellent in this movie. I'm so happy we were really able to see his superhero acting abilities really fleshed out in Moon Knight!! This was a good movie, but it was the 2nd incarnation of the X-Men just to be spliced in with the 1st incarnation. I'm really hoping Marvel/Disney can bring something new to the table with the 3rd incarnation! Still a good movie to watch 🙂
Ehh, this movie has its problems. I don't buy Mystique's "mutant and proud" speeches throughout the movie after Jennifer Lawrence said "I'm not doing hours in a makeup chair anymore". It is fun to see a lot of the old and new characters' histories converge a bit. Quicksilver is always awesome, as is weapon X. (It's worth avknowledging that Quicksilver was not the only child of Magneto... to the same mom... we saw his younger sister in Days of Future Past. Who dat?
Anyway, this was the beginning of the end for me of this generation of XMen. But the absolute Best XMen movie is still coming!
Pietro also has a non-shown sister (older than the one shown) that is referenced to in a cutscene of DoFP
The after credit is linked to logan
The film logan
I think this film is underrated
I thought it was “The dark phenix” then “Logan”
I actually love this movie. It’s not perfect and I know Oscar Isaac hates it, but I love it. I still haven’t seen Dark Phoenix. I keep putting it off.
"Oop. There she is."
Second time they got my favourite X-Men Psylocke wrong. She had the look (the body swap version) but none of the character.
and the look was right just because the actress insisted about changing the suit over and over again until it became comic accurate
she was supposed to wear some terribly generic outfit
Oscar Isaac is a great actor (even when Star Wars is messed up). I always wanted a much more intimidating Apocalypse villain. Sophie Turner was magnificent for this movie.
Jean Grey🔥
I always enjoy wolverine going on a rampage killing everyone
Logan is the best X-Men movie ever made I love that movie
The third one's always the worst...how ironic. Funny thing is, it's the fourth one that's a doozy. Sheeeesh!
I like this movie, but I think they could've been truer to the source for Apocalypse. He's not nearly as intimidating in this iteration. He looks like friggin Ivan Ooze.
Fun fact: I'm drinking iced coffee 🧋
Bryan Singer walked off set because he got MeToo'd leaving the producer to finish the movie. That's why it's not as good as the last two. I don't even think they finished doing work on Apocalypse. I'm pretty sure a majority of his performance was supposed to be assisted with cgi but they just went ahead and edited the shots without the touch-ups which is why the costume looks so amateurish. One of the biggest problems with this film is that it should've been the greatest X-Men movie ever made. It had all the components to make this epic. They had a Thanos level threat and one of X-Men's most iconic villain. We get to see the formation of the original X-Men team. And it's set in the 80s, the most iconic era in X-Men history. This should've been the greatest thing ever made. It suffers from the same thing Last Stand does. It had a higher expectation to be far grander than was delivered but in hindsight it's fine for what it is.
Yes thats storm her names aurora
Or somthing like that
Corecting self its ororo
