BEST SUPERHERO MOVIE OF THE SUMMER Bryan SInger knows how to make an X Men movie

 

I agree... I'd put this just a notch above Civil War.

 

Straight out of comics story with top notch acting! Can't go wrong with that!

Awesome! Must be a Rugrats fan...

+1

I grew up with the X-Men, and loved it!!!! I think they had some good character development of the new characters. Can't wait for the next one. I wanted more action, but loved Quicksilver, and Prof. X showed his leadership old school style. Made me smile.

superhero fatigue, poor reviews, head to head competition w/ Alice- estimates are less than super

X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Viral Video - Xavier’s School: Voicemail Messages

 

The voicemails came in response to the phone number for Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters from a previous video, and Fox says over 75,000 people called the number. That's a lot of potential mutants out there! Highlights in the calls include a message from a guy who's not quite sure what Sentinels are called (those robot monster things), and a fan doing a so-so Deadpool impersonation.

 

 

"This is Deadpool. Can I get Jean Grey's number?"

Amazon has posted re-released X-Men blu-rays on all the early movies. When you purchase any of them, you receive a digital certificate for up to a $7.50 discount on the purchase of an X-Men: Apocalypse movie ticket.

 

 

Got mine!

Mark Cassidy is one of the key contributors to comicbookmovie.com, and he posted a review of the film.

 

 

He loved it!

Saw it and liked it, come'on it's a comic book movie what's not to like

[jason4]

It was awesome. Rotten tomatoes has never been more wrong on a movie. Just wish apocalypse had done more in the final battle.

I saw it last night and agree it was better than Civil War. That said, I am a bit partial to the X-Men.

Screw the critics. The movie was excellent.

Amen. I Enjoyed from start to finish. My 5 year old didn't even fall asleep and we were there until 1115 at night.

[stroszek]

OK movie, but Apocalypse stinks on ice. He's about as interesting as cloud Galactus.

 

Of course Apocalypse stinks in the comic books too.

i just got back from watching the movie. it was a good movie. the only thing great about the movie was quicksilver. he has absolutely stolen the last two movies. if you take him and those great stop motion scenes out. the movie would have been very average at best.

Mutant timeline before X-Men: Apocalypse.

 

 

Why do the descriptions of Xavier and Magneto under "MOST SEEN MUTANTS" mention the two actors with % screen time that adds up to 110%?

Good catch!

 

I wonder if it is due to the Days of Future Past overlap, in addition to Stewart making an appearance in The Wolverine.

X-Men Movies New Timeline Explained

 

Director Bryan Singer acknowledges that the events of X-Men 1, X-2: X-Men United, and X-3: The Last Stand, are all erased going forward. At the end of Days of Future Past, Logan sees a future where all the original X-Men (including the actors that played them in the original trilogy) are alive and well.

 

Singer spoke to Collider about specifics of the new timeline, and if indeed we are working our way towards that future that is seen at the end of Days of Future Past, and even towards the beginning of the original X-Men.

 

“It’s not leading necessarily toward exactly where we found Patrick Stewart and the X-Men at the beginning of X-Men 1. There are some things that lead in that general direction, that was part of the philosophy we had at the end of Days of Future Past is that you can’t fully change the course or current of the river, but you can just divert it a little bit, and we diverted it a little bit. So some things will be surprises; people could die that were alive in X-Men 1, 2 and 3, or people could survive that died during 1, 2 and 3.”

 

He continued about that ripple effect, and how he tried to get it across in Days of Future Past.

 

“What happens when you use Days of Future Past to erase movies like X1, 2 and 3 - yes you can erase those events that occurred. But I also was very adamant about having what we call ‘The Tivo Scene.’ The scene in that room with all the video cameras in Days of Future Past, I call it the Tivo scene. ‘I developed this piece of technology that records television;’ the point is time’s immutability. The idea that time is like a river. You can splash it and mess it up and throw rocks in it and shatter it but it eventually kind of coalesces and this is, again, quantum physics theory. It’s all based in quantum physics.”

 

While fans can use the other films as a sort of barometer for what could happen, Singer isn't promising those will match up, and that freedom was specifically the reason they got rid of those three films.

 

So we may or may not see the events that took place in X-Men 1-3 again.
