Niners Fan in CT Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I wonder if this will be another Days of Future Past deal where everyone hated the costumes and the trailers and the concept art and everything to do with it and then it came out and everyone raved about it. Except Comicbook Girl 19 who hates all of the X-Men movies because it's not "her" X-Men. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadpool is in present day and I assume X-Force will be also so hopefully they catch up to speed with those and then maybe they can do a little crossover stuff.

Overstuffed super hero movies not named Watchmen have never turned out that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Yeah, the opening credits were fantastic. The rest of it... nah, let's not get into that again. We all know where everyone stands. Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr are the same age (51). Now, it makes sense that a 15 year old Spider-Man would have an Aunt in her early 50s, as opposed to the white haired old lady she always was in the comics, and the world has changed about people who are even over 60 refusing the consider themselves 'old' any more, but still... it seems like for all that they've finally got Spider-Man done right at the third attempt, they've also gone far away from source in terms of the only member of the supporting cast we've seen so far. Are they going to have J Jonah Jameson be retired and have Robbie Robertson be the new editor of the Daily Bugle, pumping out pro-Spidey stories every day? Is Uncle Ben going to have died long before Peter got his powers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I love it when I read a bunch of reviews for a movie, and nobody seems to agree on what they saw. One APOCALYPSE review called the pace "relentless;" another bemoans a lack of urgency or momentum. One review claimed the cast was phoning it in; another said everyone was clearly giving it their all. But they all seem to agree that it's a very fan service-y movie, and...I'm a fan, so I suspect I'll be generally happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Why does it matter to you what a reviewer says? I asked this before and the answer I received was lame and deflected the question. What matters most is if you liked it. Arguing about or grousing over someone's review of a movie you're interested in feels like bitching at someone because they're not 100% on board with your team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't put much stock in these reviews myself but other people do and it affects the box office and the reason I care about that is because I want them to continue making films and most of all not cater to people who want all of their movies to be a light PG-13. These reviews are a bunch of "It's not the MCU". I don't want everything to be the MCU formula. I want studios to take risks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Considering the positive reviews and piles of cash Deadpool made, I don't think "we want everything to be a light pg-13" is an issue in any way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadpool was a once in a lifetime achievement though. Look at the quote from EW. "Apocalypse isn't quite a dog. But it is a movie with way too much of everything except the things that should matter the most -- novelty, creativity, and fun." There's that word again. Fun. What if Singer didn't want to make people laugh? Why aren't these movies being judged on what the director set out to accomplish rather than whatever "fun" is. I don't care if a movie is funny. I want it to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I guess I don't understand your complaint. Isn't "fun" the entire point of popcorn cinema? You are the only person I know that constantly interprets the word "fun" to mean comedy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem with fun, I have a problem with critics thinking that every comic book movie now has to follow the MCU formula of little one liners and all that in between the action. I agree that Civil War was a lot more serious in tone and I loved that they went there with it. Civil War was pretty damn dark for a MCU movie. And they struck a perfect balance of comedy and "shit got real" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
