X-Men: Apocalypse - May 27, 2016

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Gotta admit I was thinking how come WB with all their money didn't pay off the critics for BvS?

 

[jye4ever]

Exactly. Nothing ****-erotic about shirtless, oiled up body builder running around grappling with a bunch of other 'roided out dudes.

I much prefer seeing real men grappling each other than these twinky boys.

The rules of engagement are at their most unpredictable. Instead of pumping more money into R-rated reshoots WB is instead using their last bit of profit to pay jye4ever to turn against TFA. Who will be bought next?

WB bought me out, nonsense!

I'm guessing he wasn't paid off, but blackmailed. Maybe they threatened to let Roland Emmerich do Godzilla again.

They're holding the rights to Cannibal Campout !

Best poster so far







If they were crap movies sure but they were quality and deserved the praise. If Apocalypse continues he quality this trilogy could surpass TDK as the best superhero trilogy



CW will have he spotlight and hype to be sure but quality-wise his has the edge IMO. Russos were great with TWS but that's just one movie while Singers had a consistent high-quality track record overall

Oh I agree, in terms of quality Singer’s X-Men films are far better movies than anything from the MCU, but so far the trailers for X-Men Apoc haven’t been that great, Civil War has Downey-Man and Spiderman in a movie together, and its getting great reviews, that movie will have legs. Add on top of that X-Men Apoc coming out at a really crowded time. I think to be successful, it can’t be a good movie, its going to have to be a great movie with great word of mouth just to come near making what DOFP made.

Well, the trailers have been okay at best, and its the only superhero movie this year that isn’t really offering anything new. This year has Batman and Superman in a film together for the first time with JL cameos, Civil War has Spiderman making his MCU debut, Deadpool was a hard R superhero movie, Suicide Squad is going to be the first superhero film lead by villains, and Doctor Strange is making his live action debut and it will be expanding the MCU by introducing dimension hopping and sorcery. X-Men Apoc is just another prequel and while its featuring arguably X-Men’s biggest foe, most people aren’t feeling this interoperation of the character based on the trailers.

Awesome

"To hell with you!"

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I was kidding. I don't subscribe to the whole "studios paying off critics" thing.

Some Freaks have no sense of humor.

You owe me a couple of those stacks back.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Awesome

Probably the best one shown so far. Although I only like white eyed Apocs really.

I will forever bemoan the lost art of the movie one-sheet. When Disney went with a Photoshop-by-committee job over Drew Struzan's painted piece (which we will never see) for THE FORCE AWAKENS it was the final nail.

And to think that back in the day any given movie could have *multiple* painted one-sheets. A "Style A," "Style B," and so on. And not just for Star Wars films.

It's a lost art. Even sleazy B movies had them.

poster...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[GasparZizou]

Poster looks good, for today's standards.

Dat QuickSilver ad though

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

This movie Apoc costume looks like something more suited to the MOTU classics toy line actually.

Looking forward to the Olivia HT figure..

Looking forward to the Olivia HT figure..

Why is she played by Hugh Jackman? If not then enjoy your minimate of her.

No luck there. DST has stopped making Fox-Men product and inserting F4 related characters in the comic line as well.

J Law in another black suit- how utterly original and ground-breaking(sarcasm folks)

This movie has the worst costumes short of Corman's FF.....
