"When Nightcrawler broke into the White House at the start of 2003’s X2, it was a watershed moment in the history of comic book movies. Here was one of comics’ most fantastical characters - a blue-skinned, three-fingered German demon with a pointy, prehensile tail and teleportation powers - brought to life with all of his outlandish quirks and powers intact, showcased in a sequence that was thrilling and utterly convincing. It was something no one had ever seen before. It was truly uncanny.

It is telling of the state of superhero movies in 2016 that when Nightcrawler returns in the new X-Men: Apocalypse, he’s treated basically as a throw-in background character and his powers are used with little fanfare, mostly…

characters in this movie ranked by how much the makeup and costume dept. hate them:

8-10. sophie turner, michael fassbender, & olivia munn
they showed up, got into costume, & off they went. fassbender just popped on a helmet and his fun purple cape and was home by 6 

7. beast
an extremely off-putting shade of blue, beast is really unbelievably lame. he’s not cool but not exactly repulsive either. they are giving him nothing to work with. and he’s like the 4th weirdest blue person in this movie

6. lucas till (from the hannah montana movie)
they gave him a mullet 

5. my boyfriend scott summers
when he’s not physically blindfolded he has to wear giant goggles PLUS special shoutout to…

I'm not a massive "X-Men" fan as I've expressed in the past.

Sure, I binged on the movies and enjoyed most of them, but it wasn't due to my childhood of growing up with the comics or the cartoons, loving everything about them and playing games pretending to be some with friends.

It was mostly due to the fact that the latest entry was coming out and I wanted to check it out because I figured why not? Part of the reason why I skipped seeing it in theaters was due to negative buzz, and no one wanted to see it with me (I'm a lonely person if you couldn't tell).

Seeing how I had nothing better to do, I…

How many bad X-Men movies are there? Bryan Singer struck gold with Days Of Future Past but the fatigue & his lack of creativity clearly show in the follow up. I'm gonna get this RANT out the way because I can't wait to get into the good X-Men films. Days Of Future Past's end credits scene features a young Apocalypse forming the Pyramids & in the opening to Apocalypse, he is seen transferring his body into another body, subconscious & physically, concrete & abstract, its cools to see the look of this place & effects look nice but as we see Oscar Issac, he lacks the personality & Charisma the Animated Series version of this character had. I didn't mind the 4 Horsemen & Caliban in Logan…

Bryan Singer is just as tired as we are of these movies as we are. The amount of care that was put into this film is the same amount of tears I shed over a character death. So none at all. 


After rebooting your own film in the last movie and having the perfect starting point to go off of, instead you created a perfect paradox. Congratulations, really. It must be fun sucking the life and soul out of the X-Men franchise. Watching this film gave me a migraine and I didn’t really know what to think when watching this. All the plot lines fill rushed and served no purpose. “Whoa, Magneto has a family that’s kinda coo— oh and…
