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…
"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…
See what you want to do when you cast one of the most handsome men on the planet is bury him beneath 60 pounds of hideous blue makeup, have him talk in a hilariously goofy voice, and only do incredibly uncool things like stick his hand on a television screen and moan “Lllllleeeeeeearniiiiiiing.” That’s just smart business sense!
Also, in the last scene of Days of Future Past, Wolverine is fished out of the water by Mystique disguised as Stryker. In this movie, it’s revealed that Wolverine has been held captive for ten years by ... the real Stryker? Great work everyone! Super glad everyone was paying attention!
After the magnificent X-Men: Days of Future Past in 2014, Bryan Singer, who directed the first X-Men film back in 2000, returns to the Marvel franchise for the fourth time with the sadly mixed X-Men: Apocalypse. Starring another ensemble cast that includes the likes of James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Rose Byrne, Lucas Till, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Olivia Munn, Oscar Isaac, Evan Peters and Ben Hardy, the story follows the X-Men, as they come up against an ancient all-powerful mutant, En Sabah Nur (Apocalypse), who intends to thrive through bringing destruction to the world.
As a direct follow-up to Days of Future Past, which is, in my opinion, the peak of the entire X-Men franchise (not…
fine, here's the obligatory three stars for any movie that has the balls to show magneto literally tear down auschwitz in a sea of catharsis
Flailing, repetitive, shapeless, silly, yeah to all that, but stick with it and you'll find one of the most tantalizingly bugnuts entries in this series, one that mostly even sheds the usual bread-and-butter thuddingly obvious social politics and the recent episodes' clumsy Cold War shenanigans for something way weirder and thornier. Seems actively engaged with the idea of these characters' ceaseless recapitulation of emotional baggage and secret pain and cyclical re-radicalization, at the end even dredging up from the depths the raw material of past trauma in order to form it into new structures. Doesn't even peak with such craziness as Magneto laying waste to a deserted Auschwitz or a nuclear Armageddon reflected in Stan Lee's stupid sunglasses. These movies will probably never get back to the relative simplicity, dare I say elegance, of X2, and accordingly this is a total mess, but wow what a mess.
does moira mactaggert have a point in these movies other than to show charles xavier might not be gay because you cant fool me
As a direct follow-up to Days of Future Past, which is in my view the peak of the entire X-Men team-up series, X-Men: Apocalypse unfortunately doesn't quite stick the landing to being a sequel that tops that one, although I did get some decent entertainment value out of this in the end, despite some faults.
The most striking flaws that this film has is the way Apocalypse is invariably treated in this one, which is absolutely criminal in my book, as Isaac's uncompelling portrayal of that title villain is relatively mediocre and bland for the most part. Plus, the end of the world scenario that X-Men: Apocalypse presents to us is rather formulaic, and has already been seen countless times…
Right from the opening scene, set in 3600 B.C., "X-Men: Apocalypse" challenges what you know about the past. Take, for example, the Egyptian pyramids. Once thought to be graves for the pharaohs, it turns out that the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were conceived as an instrument for history's very first mutant, a quasi-immortal purple guy called En Sabah Nur (a.k.a. "Apocalypse") to ritualistically transfer his consciousness from a dying body to a healthy one. Ben Carson was way off the mark.
42/100
This one just made me sad. There's Oscar Isaac buried beneath a slab of makeup, holding his hands outstretched, with a look of grim concentration, and there's Michael Fassbender in that dorky helmet, holding his hands outstretched, with a look of grim concentration, and it's like watching Monet and Vermeer paint a house. With rollers.
Anyway, IT. IS. ACCOMPLISHED. On to Logan Lucky! Can't wait to see mutants rob a racetrack. It's gonna all have been worth it.
first X-men movie I’ve ever watched and it was pretty good I wasn’t even that confused
66th Movie of 2021:
Good CGI throughout, and some quality scenes both for Raven and Phoenix, but Quicksilver once again steals the show. The villain is a bit of a let-down, but once again casting is impressive for a couple of new (yet previous) X-Men.

Another film was needed to properly convey the themes and depth of the story they're attempting to tell. The lack of coherency, detail and fundamental character development proves this.
I had a decent first watching of this movie however I have some issues such as the movie can run like a trailer sometimes and it has really choppy cuts for example the two plots we were following didn’t really weave together coherently to be honest and sometimes it could get a bit far fetched and also apocalypse has to be one of the worst villains ever; Oscar Isaac did a shit job but other than that I found this movie very enjoyable.
The first 74 minutes are actually quite decent, but once that Quicksilver scene completely undercuts the dramatic tension the movie was building up pretty well, it never recovers.
