No one mentioned that Stryker didn't end up taking Wolverine because it was Mystic in disguise. This means that Wolverine may never get metal claws and that means Origins never happened. If he doesn't have metal claws, that means that X1, X2, X3, Origins, and The Wolverine never happened, meaning that there is a complete clean slate as to what happened between DOFP and the present day. I have a feeling that X-Men: Apocalypse will merge the First Class storyline and the Original Cast storyline into one whole.
Actually, X-men Apocalypse doesn't need to, it's already one whole. Because of Mystique's choice, X1,X2,X3, most of Origins, and The Wolverine have already been voided. It's not just the claw thing. I'm guessing Logan's going to get his adamantium skeleton and claws some way, but it' will probably be a different way than before, unless after the events in 1973, the Wolverine of that time goes off on his own again and unknowing still gets recruited in the Weapon X program. I have no idea what Mystique wants with him since she never even met him the whole movie. Maybe she'll send him to Xavier?
wolverine after the events of dofp in the 70s does not know what happened. he will go on his own way and maybe join the weapon x program. then he'll get the adamantium claws. I still dont know what was the importance of telling us that Stryker-mystique found Logan at the bottom of the river rather than Stryker himself locating him and recruiting him for the mercenary program.
You have to remember that there are two Logans in this story. Then it becomes easier. Future Logan possessed past Logan from the time he woke up in the bedroom to when he was drowning. Once the timeline changed, future Logan went back to his own time. The other Logan in the past had no memories of what occured. So, Wolverine would've continued on with his life and the events during the movie wouldn't interfere. Then again, we never saw his adamantium claws at the end. Maybe Apocalypse will give them to him when he transforms Angel into Archangel.
Only negative I have is that Angel and Nightcrawler didn't cameo at the end, I don't know how anything else could have been done better. And I'm calling it, Mystique and Magneto will be two of Apocalypse's Four Horsemen in the next movie.
What if they added mr. sinister to his 4 horsemen. And Azezel dying and not having nightcrawler with mystique I think could be rectified by it being in the past and when wolverine came from the future to the past he altered it and it changed how the whole world ends up after. So since they changed the sentinel program and trask got arrested azezel theoretically wasn't killed in the future now from 1970s an could be with mystique for the next 30 years giving us a badass Nightcrawler I hope...he was my favorite x-men besides wolverine growing up.
Jim Mills And Ben foster is amazing as an actor...I really think it was before his time when he was playing angel...(they could bring him back as archangel and fight with apocalypse with magneto and mystique and have them all change back good once they see apocalypse and mr sinister is just too destructive and evil.) AND since the past was altered and the stuff with wolverine killing jean didn't happen from x3 that means that angel didn't rip his wings off and try to be human and could have fully embraced his mutant side and hated his father more for hating that hes a mutant.
Jim Mills You've peaked my interest now, I can see Mcavoy acting with fassbender and ben foster and how amazing it would be to see true actors of our gen just killing it, and how complex it would be magneto trying to pull him to be with him and fight for all mutants and professor x trying to get to him and deal with his deep personal issues with his father in his mind and memories and the perspective of a lot of humans in the xmen world probably is and wanting him to fight with the xmen and be good but it would mean he fight against the mutants who showed him he didn't have to be ashamed of his mutation anymore. So yeah it would be awesome character arc that everybody could feel I think. Especially with Ben foster, Micheal fassbender, and James McAvoy as the actors.
Jim Mills If you haven't seen Birds of prey with ben foster check it out...classic acting. The end is awesome...lol I don't wanna spoil what he does but I will say its alil alphadog esque lol.
This film gave me a similar feeling that Inception gave me... Hear me out. When all the characters are sending Logan back, they are in 1 confined space all together and their entire lives depend on this. You truly feel the stakes, just like in inception, when they are in the plane, or car. You truly feel like these people are existing in the future in that little room, this is GREAT! Also the ending where Logan is walking around the school was very reminiscent of Inception, when Leo is welcomed back to reality!
The only negative I have about this film is Mystiques design. Jennifer Lawrence did a great job but her design looks a little too much like a costume where as the Rebecca Romijn version looks very realistic. That's the only thing that could have been done better everything else was fantastic.
I personally loved that they didn't provide us with a specific date of when the "future" scenes took place. Because when that date does pass (back to the future 2015) and we are nothing like the movie it won't be ruined because there was no date.
A positive you missed is Jenifer Lawrence's makeup for Mystique is far more organic and natural looking than in X Men First Class. Before her head and cheek bones were too big I thought. In this one, the makeup makes her eyes more powerful and natural looking.
I will admit that this is the best acting from any comic book film. Oscar worthy? I don't know about all that. Jennifer Lawrence still seems like she's uncomfortable in the role. I don't know if its because she doesn't want to be there, or uncomfortable with the "blue boob" nudity or what. She still has a long way to go
I liked the movie and I'm delighted that they loved it so much, but some of of things they said were borderline insane. Oscar worthy performance? Miles better than Cap America 2? Possibly the greatest comic book movie of all time? Come on.
How did Xavier come out of hid midlife crises the first time around, without Wolverine's intervention. When we see 70s Xavier, he's lost everything and has lost confidence in himself. It took a massive kick in the the ass from Logan and Future Xavier to get him back on the right path and to give him the confidence to use his powers again to help people.
I think the 1st time around he did do it without logan's help it just took him longer...in this instance I think they had to speed the process along due to the situation in the future
30:10, John just remember to keep your empty soda pop cup to use as a piss bottle for those end scenes and you will be all good. Not so good for the person who has to sit by you.
I've been thinking about this and I think this may be leading to something but that white haired kid in the beginning of the movie that found the X in the ground could be Cable? With the X-Force movie announced a while back I just thought it would make sense to that actually being Cable.
I'm surprised Schnepp didn't like X2. All those little nods he (and I) loved and praised in this movie were there in X2 as well. Mystique giving motherly advice to Nightcrawler, Remy LeBeau and Hank McCoy's names on a government watch list on the computer, even (dare I stretch it) Deathstrike being filled with metal at the end (so she can possible be turned into a cyborg in the future maybe...?) I always felt Singer cared more for the source material than any other director that's handled an X Movie so far.
AMC Movie Crew!!! In the first X-Men movie when Magneto and Wolverine meet for the first time, Magneto talks about Stryker and says he's "the only man that can manipulate adamantium apart from me". There is no continuity error between The Wolverine and Days of Future Past. Presume Magneto fixed his claws.
Two negatives, in spite of an otherwise spectacular movie. 1. The reasoning for how Xavier walks makes no sense. 2. They have NO reason to break Magneto out of prison; all they needed to find Mystique was Xavier. Magneto never proves to be of any assistance, and in fact, proves to be a massive hindrance.
there's something that for me doesn't make sense.... why in Wolverine Origins, Logan and Sabretooth are fighting in Vietnam but in DOFP Wolverine is working for some mobster and doing the boss' daughter, also Striker was working for Trask and in Wolverine Origins he was kind of working for Weapon X.... did I miss something or are we gonna pretend that Wolverine Origins never happened??? (fine for me, I didn't like it anyway)
Positives: the TEAMWORK v sentinels was so well integrated which i dont remember having been done before. in the past everyone had their own mission - you free the children, ill nab stryker, ill find jean... blink went a long way in this... colossus fast ball specials himself?! come on son. big fan of "mutant" sentinels too. wolverine takes a back seat... very cool
Well, they did "fix" some things from "Last Stand" but they also created some new timeline issues... how is Wolverine getting his adamantium claws if Striker is not following the same steps he would have followed? Also, Mystique redeems herself and changes her path so she will never be the "bad girl" we know. I did not understand either how on earth did Xavier resurrected from ashes? Or why the government, despite knowing a mutant killed the president, would only accept the whole Sentinel project after Trask's death?
My negative is that they never explained the gap between Wolverine and DOFP. Like how he got his metal claws back and how far is it in the future? Kitty Pride had a line about how Wolverine doesn't age yet he had a strike of gray hair... But then no one else seems that old soooo is it like 5 years from The Wolverine? Then why did he go grey so fast if he isn't supposed to age? If we go to the X-Men in the current day than Wolverine would still not remember what happened or have gray hair? That just confused me.
I am a Cyclops fan so when I saw him at the end I lost my sh*t... Although I was pissed at the previous movies for being Wolverine-centric, I thought Wolverine didn't do as much in the final battle in this one. My favorite X-Men movie was the first one and now this is probably my fave X-Men movie.
Liked the movie but there were some really big plot holes or at the very least convenient plot devices: 1. Quicksilver being left behind. No real explanation 2. Freeing Magneto in the past...why again? 3. Incapacitating Wolverine at the beginning of action scenes, guess that's his thing 4. I can never get around the fact that Mystic grew up i a mansion with Xavier and suddenly she's a gravity defying combat expert.
Solid B+ for me. I don't consider this to be a top 5 comic book film but definitely probably a top ten. Everyone gave a great performance. Wolverine was not the stereotypical one we have seen. Both Professor X and Magneto on both sides of timeframe were incredible. Mcavoy and Fassbender killed. Stewart and Mcellan were sensational. This was not an action movie either, it was a character driven movie!!! People keep giving this story crap in the comment section here but the story was awesome. My only flaw was there were a lot of unanswered questions and plot holes.
Gave the movie a 9.5 as well! The ONLY thing that kinda bothered me, was Hank getting mad when he was punched, and turning into Beast, it felt a little to Hulk for me, but that is a minor thing, and upon watching a 2nd time, it didn't bother me at all. But did Anyone notice when Magneto pulls the rebar through Wolveruine, it was a little nod to the comics when Magneto pulls the adamantium out of Wolverine?
I loved this movie and there are only a few tiny flaws I had with it: 1. How can Kitty send people through time? That wasn't explained very well if not at all 2. I really don't like bone claws. I just don't. I was hoping that since it was the seventies, we would get a moment where due to the fact that Logan couldn't do much that he had no choice but to break into Stryker's experimental facility and coat his skeleton with adamantium himself. 3. Who the hell is Sunspot? Lol he was the only mutant I didn't like. Overall I still give the movie a 10/10. You have no idea how hard it was for me to say that as someone who has been so frustrated with the X-Men movies until First Class and the Wolverine. The first four can and actually did die in a paradox.
I only had two issues with the film...1) How the hell did Kitty send someone into the past. 2) What was up with Mystique pretending to be Stryker at the end? But overall this film flawed me, and I loved the end credits scene...I think I was the only one who missed the four horsemen. But damn, first time in a cinema I have ever seen people clapping for a film.
My only negative about xmen dofp is the plot surrounding magneto, only cause we seen him as a villian in 1-3 and even still, GREATEST ACTION, COMIC BOOK, SCI FI, DRAMA (all rolled up into 1)MOVIE OF ALL TIME! this was the XMEN we have all been waiting on! I absolutely give this movie an easy 10! There is nothing better they cold have done.
The only negative thing is wolverine was supposed to have the memories of his new present and still the ones from his old future but Charles had to explain it to him when he woke up. Charles should not of had to explain it all to him the past wolverine would have been the true continuity so he would have had theme memories but I understand it would not have had the same impact to moviegoers of him just seeing everyone and it was just normal to him. It should have been more like wolverine indicating how on that day when he woke it would have been the anniversary of the events but that was so minor the movie was great. I give this a 9.7 because I gave CAP 2 a 9.5 Love your guys show keep up the great work.
Nitpicking: the JFK item, in the audience I heard groans first for insinuating Magento assassinated him and then later saying because JFK's a mutant. Kitty Pride's power from going through solid objects to time travel seems a bit forced. Still an awesome movie.
The only thing I didn't like about this amazing movie is cyclops' glasses. I thought they looked stupid but that is just nit picking. This movie was great!!!! Can't wait to see it again
I wish they could of put the younger and older magneto in a scene together like they did with with the young and old version of Charles. But overall all it was an amazing movie!
Oh and I have a question to the AMC crew! Do you think now that X men did this good that Marvel would consider Trying to re-create some of the Xmen characters in their own movies with a different origin and name but keeping the powers similar to the originals.. I would love to see a wolverine like character join the Avengers. And could U even do an episode talking about the character rights Marvel actually owns atm since they seems to still own so many and if they could make similar characters happen like quicksilver and scarlet witch from Xmen in a future Avengers movie.
I am shocked all of them loved this movie so much. So many negatives and they are stretched to find 1. Are you kidding me. Here's a few mine. 1. What does a bullet to the spine/nervous system, that would cause paralyses, have anything to do with a mutant power. I even suspended my mind that beast, who hates being blue and hairy, created a formula that suppresses the mutant gene. (Which is what he couldn't do and was astonished that they were doing in the Last Stand!) Besides the stupid fact beast created a mutant cure, how the hell does it rebuild a damaged spine TEMPORARILY!!! 2. Did I miss the comic book where Kitty Pride develops the ability to send people back in time to the previous consciousness. That so totally should have been Scarlet Witch. I don't think she does that, but at least her powers lean to creating alternate realities. House of M anybody? 3. It would be impossible for an electric current to pass through any plastic polymer anything. Sentinels would have to have some kind of metal wiring that could be torn out by Magneto. Speaking of which, how the hell does Magneto "magically" know how to rewire them? Even if he grasped some sort of knowledge through his magnetism power, he couldn't get a read on the sentinels with no metal. He wouldn't even know where to begin. 4. Still on Magneto; if someone were powerful enough to carry an entire stadium of metal, there is no where on the planet that you could put him and keep contained. Metal is dug up from the ground, if he were buried anywhere he could pull raw material from the earth. Make him less powerful. Peopled talked all kinds of crap on Ratner having Magneto moved the bridge in "Last Stand," and nothing but praise when Singer topped it. I even think Brian Singer mentioned in an interview that Magneto was to powerful. 5. Mystique is in no way an intelligent person, and far more leaning towards psychopath. If you live in an age where there are amazing mutations of every kind, how is time travel so inconceivable. The moment they first arrive and say, "Hey, we know it's crazy that we suddenly appeared at the perfect time, and know exactly what your intentions are, but you can't kill Trask because it leads to the decimation of the entire planet that you fight for." Threat neutralized. 6. I feel a bit nit picky about the next few, because they aren't major flaws. A. James McAvoy- They loved him in what I personally felt- dare I say it, OVERACTING. It's possible and MY OPINION he did. Disclaimer better over acted then under. *Cough* Halle Berry. B. While the quicksilver scene was awesome and the lines were funny, so many people could be just as good. It wasn't the pinnacle of acting job that an actor couldn't be directed to do. 7. Still over the expanse of all the movies, I can't forgive them for ruining awesome characters such as Rogue, Storm, Angel, Jean (and or Phoenix), Sabertooth (both of them), Iceman, and Deadpool. I could go on... As this movie gets a little age on it, I'm sure I'll think of even more. As of right now I'm pretty upset with all these guys for turning the blind eye on so much.
man if i saw this review back in 2014 i would have gotten excited about fantastic four when they started talking about but we all know how that turned out
How was wolverine was in USA when in origins he was with striker? Was this set before origins? How did pro x come back to life? How did magnito get his powers? What was with mystique rescuing wolverine at the end? And finally the pinnacle point of the movie was to stop magnito why not take quick silver and get him to stop magnito?
Why do sentinels adapt different powers when Mystique only adapts appearance? If Azazel is dead, Nightcrawler doesn't exist in X2. Adamantium in the future? Good film, 8.5/10
I liked the film. Loved the teaser after the credits. Seemed more like Rise of the Sentinels, mixed with One Mans Worth from the TAS, than Days of Futures Past.
it would be so awesome cause quicksilver will be back in apocalypse if they had a special scene where magneto tells quicksilver he´s his father cause quicksilver did´nt know that in DOFP
I enjoyed Days of Future Past, but I think it is only about the same level as X-Men 2 and First Class, it clearly doesn't come close Captain America Winter Soldier, for me. Why is that? I like very thematic movies, Winter Soldier did great on the freedom vs security question, and even the X-Man films have there themes, they just were not as focused on them.
My negatives were just as much as they did address continuity they made it look like wolverine wouldn't get adamantium back And then the world Logan returns too seems too perfect, it seems as if there can be no next villain obviously we know that that will be Apocalypse but then what next? Also they didn't even mention how Kitty suddenly has this new amazing power to send people back that she didn't have previously. To the people who knew her from the movies it seemed like they just randomly threw a new power onto her resumé
I thought it was the best X-MEN movie so far. I agree with what all of you on the panel said about the movie. The ending was great. Hopefully the next one will be great to.
So does Emma, Angel, Banshee, etc officially die? Because on the plane Magneto said they did and I think Mystique saw pictures of their dissected bodies. I'm asking this because I love Emma and Banshee and I hope to see them in future X men related films. And although the future was changed the past hasn't; so what's the deal? Will they be reinvented in the next film(s)? Or they're dead, gone, and not worth any development?
This panel is usually very rational when it comes to reviews of comic movies, but this review for Xmen DOFP was so irrational and one sided it really bothers me. No negatives? No freakin way! There was plenty of stuff that didn't flow correctly to many of us in the audience
Loved, loved LOVED McAvoy's performance in this! I think it must have been the most difficult character to play. My Xmen fav movies were 1 and First Class, but I just loved this film. Nice to finally have a good movie out there that gives us ladies some very nice eye candy. Everyone did a great performance in this film. As Xavier would say - "top marks!"
I was skeptical about watching this film cause X-MEN: First Class sucked so much ass. Even Jennifer Lawrence was really bad in it. But I'm glad I did watch it, Jenn came back strong and the story was amazing.
Underrated? Overrated? Well everyone is entitled to their opinion and for me this movie got all the praise it deserved. Truly outstanding, although as a big fan of her character in the cartoon/comic, I would have loved to see a little more Rogue.
I think the Sentinels must've been based both on Mystique (for their shape-shifting abilities) and Rogue (for her power absorbing/replicating abilities). In the deleted scenes, they have to rescue Rogue. Maybe she was being experimented on- extracting her DNA? Would've loved to have seen her in the fight against the Sentinels, absorbing their powers and allowing one of the other X-Men to finish off the Sentinel. We might've seen her fly then. Maybe seen her kick some arse.
Crash Prime totally agreed, i think this could be my number 1 movie on this first half of the year, my top 3 are Godzilla, Captain America Winter Soldier and X-Men Days of Future Past
Stacy H Quicksilver is the older twin I think...but maybe he GROWS at a faster rate. The girl is about the right age for the movie, given the timeframe (First Class - Kennedy era, DoFP - Nixon era) So Eric would've had to have gotten married/fathered before Kennedy's death since He probably got captured during Johnson's administration...and has been locked up while Nixon is president. That's the onnnnly way I can see them explaining that crap. He just GROWS faster, probably the reason for his premature graying too.
I actually think its better than the Avengers, better than Captain America the Winter Soldier and better than the Dark Knight Rises. Not joking. The only comic book movies that imo are better then this are Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and Deadpol.
Damn amazing film, this is no doubt the best X-Men film. I still prefer Captain America: The Winter Soldier a bit more, but this was still an awesome movie.
dan tan The reasons I liked Cap 2 so much were the amazing fight scene choreography, the emotional roller coaster that you went along with Cap on, in which he has basically an internal battle with himself about where he belongs in the world and how to save his best friend from being this mindless weapon that Hydra made him. I loved that Cap 2 was something that we've never seen before in a superhero movie, it was more than just a superhero film, it was a espionage and thriller all at the same time, but it also had ties to how people see their governments and how there is always something that seems hidden in our governments (such as Hydra hidden within Shield). To me, Cap 2 was something special, it had dark points that could measure up to The Dark Knight but still managed to also have the light hearted moments that everyone loves in Marvel Movies, the movie is just something special to me
after watching DOFP, I sat back and asked myself why Cap 2 was so awesome. I wouldnt re-watch Cap 2 when its out on dvd/bluray but i would definitely re-watch DOFP. In the end, what matters is: will the movie be remembered and will it hold up 5-10+ years from now. Cap 2 i think i would watch it if its on tv or something but DOFP i'd go out of my way to buy a copy of it and can rewatch it. Ive noticed the same thing with inception...must have rewatched that 3-4 times a year since it came out on bluray
head count, Winter Soldier lose, actor not that great either. 1) Beside Samuel and Christ Evan, the casts are ok that great either. Robert is straight up obvious evil business man. Scarlet as side character again, typical. 2) And character wise, Nick Fury + Captain + Widow, that's only 3. Avenger has way more. Xmen, nuff said, like freaking 20 characters. 3) CGI effect and action wise no match either, like compare dynamite vs. firework. Look at the trailer, Xmen Day of Future Past is obviously way way more fun.
i know, the thing with Marvel is you get alot of the same "fans" hating on movies by Fox and Sony (Xmen and Spiderman) because they all hopped on the bandwagon. They all think Marvel/Disney is the only ones who can make good movies when alot of their movies weren't even that good until recently like Cap 2. You don't need Spiderman and the xmen and the avengers universe to collide, it happens in comics but its not so easy to do on the big screen right.
Marvel should still get the rights back. This new X-Men movie may have been a good movie, but it wasn't a good X-Men movie. It might has well been the same movie under a different name. If you want them to tell the story of the characters in the comics or if you just want to see Hulk and Wolverine fight, then the rights should definitely go back to Marvel.
i was actually disappointed by this xmen film… don't get me wrong its a great great movie but the way amirose played it up i was just let down. I've already seen it 3 times and to me it was a good movie but all this hype of it being the best comic book movie, personally, i think is wrong. i still think that belongs to either avengers or The Dark Knight. i don't even think it was better than cap 2
Your crazy if you think the avengers was better than this movie. Now you are entitled to your own opinion. But the avengers was very dull and had some parts that dragged on. This x men movie was done flawless. If you want to find a movie better than this you can only argue cap America but this blew it out of the water
The quick silver part alone and the action with blink and the way they flawlessly tied in all the older movies in just genius pure genius and you have to admit these actors the main ones delivered performances that are oscar worthy aside from dark knight this movie shits on all the previous marvel movies ie
i said this movie was great i liked it but people were hyping it up like it was the best superhero movie to date. its in my top 5 but its not as good as Avengers The Dark Knight or Cap 2 I'm sorry but i guess I'm crazy cuz i wasn't disappointed by any of those three movies at all. sorry bro but i don't agree with you on the avengers issue
Daniel chavarria I agree with you. I think I had only one issue with Avengers and that was the Thor/Hulk fight. If anything they could've either shorten the fight scene with him and Iron Man and made the fight between Thor and Hulk longer and better. And I didn't like him jumping on Hulk's back like a girl, that was not very Thor-like. And bullets can't harm him yet he ran and ducked for cover. I just think that if they were going to give us an Asgardian bad ass, he should've been acting like one, just like he did when he fought Iron Man. Hopefully there will be a round two with those behemoths.
NoDDinOuTMeLoDy This movie had dull moments as well, a lot of characters were throw aways and the action sequences were OK and limited, get off your high horse.
Well, I thought they used him well in this film. He is not suppose to play a major role in the film. I understand your frustrations though. However, they did use him a lot in X3.
For me,his screen time doesn't bother me a whole lot,but what I can't understand is why, for the love of god can't they show how strong this guy is. In all his small scenes we never see him do any real impressive feats of strength.
I though the finale they didn't had enough Teamwork cooperation ,they were blatantly fending off the sentinels one by one ,thus resulting in their individual deaths =/. Blink's power was like very essential to their team,they could"ve tackle One Sentinel at a time since it only adapts to the respective mutant its facing ,why not 3 Mutants gang 1 Sentinel??
People think this movie is overrated. Well you're wrong because there is no bad thing about this movie. The only bad thing you'll find is that you have to knit pick and complain about little stuff.
Can someone answer this? At the end of DOFP, we see Logan wake up in their present day with everyone else. So since Age of Apocalypse takes place in the 80's, does that mean it already happened?
Let's just accept that there's alternate timelines considering that this was indeed a time travel movie that altered and changed the X-Men chronology. Remember what Hank said about time-space acting like a river, it resets itself.
Tell me this if professor x is a junky and magneto is locced up who formed the Xmen and when they stopped mystique from killing Trask that would've been the ripple that changed the future and the movie lost sight of the facts it wasn't about her killing Trask and was about them not getting her
definitely a 10 for me. this is on Dark Knight level. I like this more than the Avengers for sure, but idk about the Dark Knight though. I'll have to see this 6 more times in theaters.
To me it was better than The Dark Knight & my reasoning for that is BATMAN! I cannot stand Christian Bale's Batman voice & Batman is the main character. The Joker was the greatest part of TKD we all know that. But I just couldnt find much to complain about with X-Men DOFP. I honestly cant. It's tough rating Avengers Vs X-Men DOFP, but I honestly would have to give it to X-Men DOFP the ensamble cast was AMAZING, the story, the action, the comedy & it wasn't overly campy at times like Avengers. I loved Avengers & Batman TDK but X-Men takes the cake for me... 10/10
SetgangTV yeah i guess if i was trying to look for something they could have done better in TDK , it would probably be Batman's voice as well. But That movie is really good though, I'm more a action thriller movie goer, so that's why i loved TDK so much since it was creepy and griddy and dark and so grounded. but for sure X men DOFP is nothing but on TDK's level.
Goddamn you Marvel! Now DC, dawn of justice and flash will have to step it up even more! Lol, don't get me wrong I love both, just DC more now, glad this turned out awesome and will give life back to xmen movies. At least marvel is kinda split into three so avengers gonna have to step it up too especially with their quicksilver. I remember everyone making fun of this quicksilver, now he's the highlight, just goes to show u shouldn't judge a movie before u see it for yourself.
Amirose, you fool. There was literally a close call moment at the end of this movie when Kitty was about to get blasted in the face, until Mystique dropped the gun LAST second.
I love how everyone's fate depended on Mystiques choice and Charles's skill to help mutants make the right choices. And McAvoy is fantastic at filling Patrick Stewart's shoes.
It was a great film. Negative is maybe the action scenes which wasnt enough for general audience. Drama is 10/10 but action wise is maybe 6/10. It wont make as much money as cap 2 oversea tho. Us , uk n aus maybe but def nt in asia. Ive heard that ppl dnt like it as much in asia.
Marvel DC Superhero Fan because the pull of simplified heroic story telling through overly done action sequences aka Avenger universe is easier to understand than the English language(subbed). with that said, Xmen Day Of Future Past has my solid vote for the best summer movie of 2014 or go as far as to say the best story telling movie of the year!
i have 2 negatives: 1. Jennifer Lawrance is way so overatedo seshe is just bad... 2. i think they could use another new mutant to send people back in time, i feel like it has nothing to do these 2 abilities from her.
I gotta say the future sentinels were a little op i mean they killed iceman blink colossus warpath sunspot and bishop not once but twice that was really hard to watch i don't think i'll ever get that image of colossus being torn in half by 2 sentinels out of my head ever
Also I'm surprised about the praise for Jennifer Lawrence. The Mystique character was written fantastically, but she seemed so flat throughout the movie. It was as though she was just trudging through just to wrap up her contract.
If X-Men Apocalypse takes place in the past, then will the movie simply be Xavier telling Logan about what happened in the new continuation? Also, have the events of X2, X3, and The Wolverine been completely voided?
I was wondering the same thing. and yeah I think X1,2,3 and wolverine are all voided. Different timeline and shit now. Thats why I would love to see another Xmen movie with the Old cast, but unlikely :(
Just because the end-credit scene has En Sabah Nur (AKA Apocalypse) doesn't mean the next movie has to take place in the past. If you know anything about Apocalypse then you know that this guy likes to prepare. He is the first mutant and as far as what he thinks, he will be the last mutant. In fact, he doesn't even consider himself a mutant in the comics when he fights the X-Men. He thinks himself a god...but if you lived thousands of years and obtained countless powers, would you not think you were a god too?
It all depends on what cast X-men: Apocalypse has. If it goes with the younger cast, then it would be in between 1973 and the 50 years later when Wolverine woke up. In terms of what movies count? X1, X2, X3, most of Origins, and The Wolverine has all been voided. ANYTHING that happened after 1973 and that moment has been changed and voided. However, everything previous to 1973 still exists, so Magneto and Xavier's pasts are still the same, all the mutants who died (Banshee, Azazel, Angel, Emma Frost, etc) are still dead, Wolverine's past in Origins previous to 1973 still happened, and all of First Class still happened. Other, than that, everything else has been shifted.
I thought of two minor negatives for this movie: 1. When Erik says to wolverine "imagine if those were metal"; It just didn't seem to make much sense considering he has no idea that they were at some point. 2. When Erik tries to kill Raven; I don't quite see his motive there and think it was unnecessary. Other than that though; 9.9/10 :)
The Wolverine was pure crap, worse then Origins. Why they even made that movie where the whole point was Wolverine losing adamantium which they've completely ignored and Charles being alive and teamed up with Magneto for what? 10 year surviving and then sending Wolverine back to past on his own initiative (which they didn't plan)??? Cause in that timeline there is no Sentinels. Big question is: There wasn't any Sentinels in original trilogy timeline. Who changed that and with that move caused apocalyptic future??? AND (Spoiler) Wolverine survived, Stryker/Mistique found him, he went through project x program, found Professor, lived as history professor in the mansion and after 30-40 years, one they he just remembered everything???
Logan loses his Ada claws in The Wolverine. He still has his ada skeleton. The Wolverine happened in 2013 and the dark future happened in 2023. Plenty of time for Logan to find a way to get his claws back. He probably got his claws back with the help of Magneto. Magneto could easily fuse new ada metal giving Logan his claws back. _Big question is: There wasn't any Sentinels in original trilogy timeline. Who changed that and with that move caused apocalyptic future???_ This guy John David Croasdell, summed it up pretty well. John David Croasdell 1 hour ago Trask couldn't find a buyer/investor for his PROTOTYPE Sentinels. Mutants where merely a rumor, not a tangible threat. When Mystique shot and killed him in the past, his work was still there, but still without a buyer and without a great scientific mind behind it. Mystique's capture in X-Men 3: The Last Stand gifts Trask's research with Her Mutated DNA and and enables the company to finish and sell a COMPLETED Sentinel Prototype to fit the demand of protection that may feel necessary in the public's eye after considering the events of X -Men 1, 2 and 3, thus giving the Future Sentinels have their first ancestor: Transforming and Adapting Sentinels 1.0 after the events of The Last Stand. Looks like Beasts efforts at the UN were in vain...
FrenkyCRO If you scroll down the comments you can probably still find John's original comment. He also puts out there that Magneto could possibly be the reason Wolverine has his claws back. Pretty clear *a lot* of things happen off screen. Like the deaths of Angel and Azazel in 1963, the death of Beast in 2015 in the timeline, etc etc. So Wolverine getting his claws back off screen isn't far-fetched at all.
FrenkyCRO Hmm well, the way I see it, Logan from 2023 retained all his memories from the old timeline, like Charles said he would in the beginning of the movie, because that consciousness is connected to that body in 2023. So when Logan leaves the Logan body of 1973 to return back to his original body in 2023, he still only has memories from the old timeline and going back in time.
Why has it been two days since y'all put out another video? Run out of superhero shit to talk about? Seriously I like you guys and everything but y'all need to talk about all these other great indi movies that are coming out. I'm seriously Sick of hearing y'all geek out all the time. Just trying to be honest because I love y'all so much.
This movie knocks Avengers out of my top 5 best comic book movies, probably puts it as my 3rd favorite. It was just almost flawless other than the couple of things that they didn't explain.
7/10 for me Some things I didnt like: Cheesy childhood flashback Jennifer Lawrence The high frame rate. The end setpiece was a bit brief A little melodramatic at times I still enjoyed it. Just not as much as these guys. I feel similarly about First Class.
What do you mean the high frame rate? Is that how real/clarity the film was made to look? I never really liked how the X films looked or how the coloring was. Maybe X2 & First Class were the best but the rest just looked odd.
***** Wow. No need to call him a dumbass because of his preferences. .. Why is it so hard to stay civil on the web? I haven't seen TASM2 because I heard it was fairly terrible, and I've watched and love DOFP. But if someone disagrees with me, well that's their prerogative. No need for name calling.
I'm sorry, but the people working at AMC really have low standards. Have they even disliked a film yet this year? "Oh, this film is my favorite, but this movie is leagues above that." How fucking huge is your range for a film to be "amazing" or "awesome"?? Even a film as atrocious as ASM2, they gave a frikkin' 7(!) to...
They don't review movies they don't like, so it may seem like that. But if you want another opinion: this movie is absolutely fantastic, an 11 out of10.
jrm48220 I will give you Osborn/Goblin. But rhino was there to set up the sinister six. Both will have more time in other movies, and Goblin will probably be the villain in the next.
The AMC crew don't have low standards. They are just more positive than the majority of this generation of movie viewers. They have a love and enjoyment of film in general, so they don't set out to purposely critique, nit-pick, or be negative-Nancy's.
In previous films I felt like Xavier could do no wrong, even in first class he rarely made mistakes, in this film I felt so much more for him because I did make mistakes, and he did make bad choices, and then he just wants to be left alone, but can't shake the fact that he wants to save mystique. James did an awesome performance, same with fassbender.
Well let's see if this movie can make avengers or iron man 3 money. I liked it but not better than cap2, avengers, dark knight. To tell you the truth I like watchman better but then this movie slides in right after to get into my top 5. Just my opinion though. Only complaints are kitty was garbage and her powers dont make sense and I actual thought the mutants in the future like ice man and bishop were poorly used and were essentially just cannon fodder/ sacrificial lambs. No real character development for the b class mutants. The AMC crew is just riding the high of men right now but soon they may come back to reality. I give this movie 8.3.
***** I know, right!? The movie was excellent!! But I'm reading some of these comments and I think a lot of people just didn't understand it. I keep on reading "plot holes" and other bullshit and I'm like, were you watching the same movie? Pretty easy to understand. And Marvin, come on, man! Character development on the B class mutants?? That's just fishing for something to pick at
***** That is the furthest thing from nit picking. You're kidding right? He actually gave REASONS as to why he didn't like it that much and those reasons are actual problems the movie had, it's not like he thought it sucked.
***** Yea ok but he wasn't nit picking he actually gave reasonable criticism of the film because they were actually true. Kitty Prydes powers did NOT make sense and it was not explained, that's not a fanboy complaint that's an actual film complaint that I'm sure film critics will point out.
Joshua Kelly Nope, wasn't kidding. Actually what I was saying was " Some other people in the comments had a problem with this, that, the other. Just picking the shit out of it. I don't disagree with how Marvin feels about the film. I disagree about the character development part. My way of looking at it is this is the 4th X-Men movie. You know who Ice-Man is! You've seen him and his story in the other three films. Bishop? I thought it was fine how they used him and they'll probably do more with him down the line. When you have a cast of that many amazing actors giving those types of performances, I'm sorry but I'm not giving a fuck that Bishop and Ice didn't get more to do. LOL! The future scenes were there to show just how dire their situation was and how mutants and people alike were getting slaughtered. So in that case, I didn't think he gave a valid REASON, as you put it
***** The character development issue goes directly to the newly shown Mutants. Blink, Warpath, Sunspot, Bishop etc a lot of us actually wanted to know who the hell they were but they were just throw aways. The performances were NOT that great lol they were just good solid performances you'd expect from a film like this and even if they were OMGAMAZING they still need to explain who the hell the newbies were.
People stop calling this the best X-Men film ever, and start calling this the best comic book film ever. Just my opinion.
Agreed. But surely, Avengers: Endgame and its random plot device / rat
I cringed with embarrassment when he says it's Oscar worthy! Get a grip.
No I agree... James is fucking awesome.
Its amazing though
10 years later and the Oscars could do with more performances like McAvoy here.
Lol Kristian looks so awkward throughout the first 15 minutes of the video. His body language just screams "Uh is it my turn yet guys" lol
Galaxy's Edge Galaxy's Edge Bang bang.
No one mentioned that Stryker didn't end up taking Wolverine because it was Mystic in disguise. This means that Wolverine may never get metal claws and that means Origins never happened. If he doesn't have metal claws, that means that X1, X2, X3, Origins, and The Wolverine never happened, meaning that there is a complete clean slate as to what happened between DOFP and the present day. I have a feeling that X-Men: Apocalypse will merge the First Class storyline and the Original Cast storyline into one whole.
Cause Stryker/mystique takes Logan to get his metal claws
Actually, X-men Apocalypse doesn't need to, it's already one whole. Because of Mystique's choice, X1,X2,X3, most of Origins, and The Wolverine have already been voided. It's not just the claw thing. I'm guessing Logan's going to get his adamantium skeleton and claws some way, but it' will probably be a different way than before, unless after the events in 1973, the Wolverine of that time goes off on his own again and unknowing still gets recruited in the Weapon X program. I have no idea what Mystique wants with him since she never even met him the whole movie. Maybe she'll send him to Xavier?
wolverine after the events of dofp in the 70s does not know what happened. he will go on his own way and maybe join the weapon x program. then he'll get the adamantium claws. I still dont know what was the importance of telling us that Stryker-mystique found Logan at the bottom of the river rather than Stryker himself locating him and recruiting him for the mercenary program.
You have to remember that there are two Logans in this story. Then it becomes easier. Future Logan possessed past Logan from the time he woke up in the bedroom to when he was drowning. Once the timeline changed, future Logan went back to his own time. The other Logan in the past had no memories of what occured. So, Wolverine would've continued on with his life and the events during the movie wouldn't interfere. Then again, we never saw his adamantium claws at the end. Maybe Apocalypse will give them to him when he transforms Angel into Archangel.
majesj who is angel again? The one that cut his wings when he was little?
Only negative I have is that Angel and Nightcrawler didn't cameo at the end, I don't know how anything else could have been done better. And I'm calling it, Mystique and Magneto will be two of Apocalypse's Four Horsemen in the next movie.
Azezel die = no Nightcrawler i think. And that is one big countinuity problem right there.
What if they added mr. sinister to his 4 horsemen. And Azezel dying and not having nightcrawler with mystique I think could be rectified by it being in the past and when wolverine came from the future to the past he altered it and it changed how the whole world ends up after. So since they changed the sentinel program and trask got arrested azezel theoretically wasn't killed in the future now from 1970s an could be with mystique for the next 30 years giving us a badass Nightcrawler I hope...he was my favorite x-men besides wolverine growing up.
Jim Mills And Ben foster is amazing as an actor...I really think it was before his time when he was playing angel...(they could bring him back as archangel and fight with apocalypse with magneto and mystique and have them all change back good once they see apocalypse and mr sinister is just too destructive and evil.) AND since the past was altered and the stuff with wolverine killing jean didn't happen from x3 that means that angel didn't rip his wings off and try to be human and could have fully embraced his mutant side and hated his father more for hating that hes a mutant.
Jim Mills You've peaked my interest now, I can see Mcavoy acting with fassbender and ben foster and how amazing it would be to see true actors of our gen just killing it, and how complex it would be magneto trying to pull him to be with him and fight for all mutants and professor x trying to get to him and deal with his deep personal issues with his father in his mind and memories and the perspective of a lot of humans in the xmen world probably is and wanting him to fight with the xmen and be good but it would mean he fight against the mutants who showed him he didn't have to be ashamed of his mutation anymore. So yeah it would be awesome character arc that everybody could feel I think. Especially with Ben foster, Micheal fassbender, and James McAvoy as the actors.
Jim Mills If you haven't seen Birds of prey with ben foster check it out...classic acting. The end is awesome...lol I don't wanna spoil what he does but I will say its alil alphadog esque lol.
This film gave me a similar feeling that Inception gave me... Hear me out. When all the characters are sending Logan back, they are in 1 confined space all together and their entire lives depend on this. You truly feel the stakes, just like in inception, when they are in the plane, or car. You truly feel like these people are existing in the future in that little room, this is GREAT! Also the ending where Logan is walking around the school was very reminiscent of Inception, when Leo is welcomed back to reality!
The only negative I have about this film is Mystiques design. Jennifer Lawrence did a great job but her design looks a little too much like a costume where as the Rebecca Romijn version looks very realistic. That's the only thing that could have been done better everything else was fantastic.
Its sad that another Black character bites the dust in the X-Men franchise RIP Bishop... casting Halle Berry was the first LOL
I personally loved that they didn't provide us with a specific date of when the "future" scenes took place. Because when that date does pass (back to the future 2015) and we are nothing like the movie it won't be ruined because there was no date.
A positive you missed is Jenifer Lawrence's makeup for Mystique is far more organic and natural looking than in X Men First Class. Before her head and cheek bones were too big I thought. In this one, the makeup makes her eyes more powerful and natural looking.
I will admit that this is the best acting from any comic book film. Oscar worthy? I don't know about all that. Jennifer Lawrence still seems like she's uncomfortable in the role. I don't know if its because she doesn't want to be there, or uncomfortable with the "blue boob" nudity or what. She still has a long way to go
I liked the movie and I'm delighted that they loved it so much, but some of of things they said were borderline insane. Oscar worthy performance? Miles better than Cap America 2? Possibly the greatest comic book movie of all time? Come on.
How did Xavier come out of hid midlife crises the first time around, without Wolverine's intervention. When we see 70s Xavier, he's lost everything and has lost confidence in himself. It took a massive kick in the the ass from Logan and Future Xavier to get him back on the right path and to give him the confidence to use his powers again to help people.
I think the 1st time around he did do it without logan's help it just took him longer...in this instance I think they had to speed the process along due to the situation in the future
I think with Mystique killing Bolivar Trask in the first place - this got Xavier back in the saddle again and start all over again.
"X-man: Days of future past" isn't better than "Winter soldier"
30:10, John just remember to keep your empty soda pop cup to use as a piss bottle for those end scenes and you will be all good. Not so good for the person who has to sit by you.
One major negative, they never explained how future Prof X came back from being DISINTEGRATED and then they acknowledged X3... kind of a big deal...
Damn
I've been thinking about this and I think this may be leading to something but that white haired kid in the beginning of the movie that found the X in the ground could be Cable? With the X-Force movie announced a while back I just thought it would make sense to that actually being Cable.
I'm surprised Schnepp didn't like X2. All those little nods he (and I) loved and praised in this movie were there in X2 as well. Mystique giving motherly advice to Nightcrawler, Remy LeBeau and Hank McCoy's names on a government watch list on the computer, even (dare I stretch it) Deathstrike being filled with metal at the end (so she can possible be turned into a cyborg in the future maybe...?) I always felt Singer cared more for the source material than any other director that's handled an X Movie so far.
AMC Movie Crew!!!
In the first X-Men movie when Magneto and Wolverine meet for the first time, Magneto talks about Stryker and says he's "the only man that can manipulate adamantium apart from me". There is no continuity error between The Wolverine and Days of Future Past. Presume Magneto fixed his claws.
Two negatives, in spite of an otherwise spectacular movie.
1. The reasoning for how Xavier walks makes no sense.
2. They have NO reason to break Magneto out of prison; all they needed to find Mystique was Xavier. Magneto never proves to be of any assistance, and in fact, proves to be a massive hindrance.
there's something that for me doesn't make sense.... why in Wolverine Origins, Logan and Sabretooth are fighting in Vietnam but in DOFP Wolverine is working for some mobster and doing the boss' daughter, also Striker was working for Trask and in Wolverine Origins he was kind of working for Weapon X.... did I miss something or are we gonna pretend that Wolverine Origins never happened??? (fine for me, I didn't like it anyway)
Positives: the TEAMWORK v sentinels was so well integrated which i dont remember having been done before. in the past everyone had their own mission - you free the children, ill nab stryker, ill find jean... blink went a long way in this... colossus fast ball specials himself?! come on son. big fan of "mutant" sentinels too. wolverine takes a back seat... very cool
Well, they did "fix" some things from "Last Stand" but they also created some new timeline issues... how is Wolverine getting his adamantium claws if Striker is not following the same steps he would have followed? Also, Mystique redeems herself and changes her path so she will never be the "bad girl" we know. I did not understand either how on earth did Xavier resurrected from ashes? Or why the government, despite knowing a mutant killed the president, would only accept the whole Sentinel project after Trask's death?
My only negative is that Wolverine was not acting with a sense of Urgency after getting back to 1973.
I give it a 9.9
Spectacular film, Loved it!
My negative is that they never explained the gap between Wolverine and DOFP. Like how he got his metal claws back and how far is it in the future? Kitty Pride had a line about how Wolverine doesn't age yet he had a strike of gray hair... But then no one else seems that old soooo is it like 5 years from The Wolverine? Then why did he go grey so fast if he isn't supposed to age? If we go to the X-Men in the current day than Wolverine would still not remember what happened or have gray hair? That just confused me.
I am a Cyclops fan so when I saw him at the end I lost my sh*t...
Although I was pissed at the previous movies for being Wolverine-centric, I thought Wolverine didn't do as much in the final battle in this one.
My favorite X-Men movie was the first one and now this is probably my fave X-Men movie.
Liked the movie but there were some really big plot holes or at the very least convenient plot devices:
1. Quicksilver being left behind. No real explanation
2. Freeing Magneto in the past...why again?
3. Incapacitating Wolverine at the beginning of action scenes, guess that's his thing
4. I can never get around the fact that Mystic grew up i a mansion with Xavier and suddenly she's a gravity defying combat expert.
Solid B+ for me. I don't consider this to be a top 5 comic book film but definitely probably a top ten. Everyone gave a great performance. Wolverine was not the stereotypical one we have seen. Both Professor X and Magneto on both sides of timeframe were incredible. Mcavoy and Fassbender killed. Stewart and Mcellan were sensational. This was not an action movie either, it was a character driven movie!!! People keep giving this story crap in the comment section here but the story was awesome. My only flaw was there were a lot of unanswered questions and plot holes.
Gave the movie a 9.5 as well! The ONLY thing that kinda bothered me, was Hank getting mad when he was punched, and turning into Beast, it felt a little to Hulk for me, but that is a minor thing, and upon watching a 2nd time, it didn't bother me at all. But did Anyone notice when Magneto pulls the rebar through Wolveruine, it was a little nod to the comics when Magneto pulls the adamantium out of Wolverine?
I loved this movie and there are only a few tiny flaws I had with it:
1. How can Kitty send people through time? That wasn't explained very well if not at all
2. I really don't like bone claws. I just don't. I was hoping that since it was the seventies, we would get a moment where due to the fact that Logan couldn't do much that he had no choice but to break into Stryker's experimental facility and coat his skeleton with adamantium himself.
3. Who the hell is Sunspot? Lol he was the only mutant I didn't like.
Overall I still give the movie a 10/10. You have no idea how hard it was for me to say that as someone who has been so frustrated with the X-Men movies until First Class and the Wolverine. The first four can and actually did die in a paradox.
I only had two issues with the film...1) How the hell did Kitty send someone into the past. 2) What was up with Mystique pretending to be Stryker at the end? But overall this film flawed me, and I loved the end credits scene...I think I was the only one who missed the four horsemen. But damn, first time in a cinema I have ever seen people clapping for a film.
I have a negative: Scarlet Witch... Why wasn't she in the movie ??? I'd really love to see her doing stuff with quicksilver.
My only negative about xmen dofp is the plot surrounding magneto, only cause we seen him as a villian in 1-3 and even still, GREATEST ACTION, COMIC BOOK, SCI FI, DRAMA (all rolled up into 1)MOVIE OF ALL TIME! this was the XMEN we have all been waiting on! I absolutely give this movie an easy 10! There is nothing better they cold have done.
The only negative thing is wolverine was supposed to have the memories of his new present and still the ones from his old future but Charles had to explain it to him when he woke up. Charles should not of had to explain it all to him the past wolverine would have been the true continuity so he would have had theme memories but I understand it would not have had the same impact to moviegoers of him just seeing everyone and it was just normal to him. It should have been more like wolverine indicating how on that day when he woke it would have been the anniversary of the events but that was so minor the movie was great. I give this a 9.7 because I gave CAP 2 a 9.5 Love your guys show keep up the great work.
Nitpicking: the JFK item, in the audience I heard groans first for insinuating Magento assassinated him and then later saying because JFK's a mutant. Kitty Pride's power from going through solid objects to time travel seems a bit forced.
Still an awesome movie.
I liked even the little reference to lady deathstrike with the sentinels using her claws
Great spoilers! But you never mentioned how well they done ice man. It was the best I've seen him yet.
The only thing I didn't like about this amazing movie is cyclops' glasses. I thought they looked stupid but that is just nit picking. This movie was great!!!! Can't wait to see it again
I wish they could of put the younger and older magneto in a scene together like they did with with the young and old version of Charles. But overall all it was an amazing movie!
Oh and I have a question to the AMC crew! Do you think now that X men did this good that Marvel would consider Trying to re-create some of the Xmen characters in their own movies with a different origin and name but keeping the powers similar to the originals.. I would love to see a wolverine like character join the Avengers. And could U even do an episode talking about the character rights Marvel actually owns atm since they seems to still own so many and if they could make similar characters happen like quicksilver and scarlet witch from Xmen in a future Avengers movie.
I am shocked all of them loved this movie so much. So many negatives and they are stretched to find 1. Are you kidding me. Here's a few mine.
1. What does a bullet to the spine/nervous system, that would cause paralyses, have anything to do with a mutant power. I even suspended my mind that beast, who hates being blue and hairy, created a formula that suppresses the mutant gene. (Which is what he couldn't do and was astonished that they were doing in the Last Stand!) Besides the stupid fact beast created a mutant cure, how the hell does it rebuild a damaged spine TEMPORARILY!!!
2. Did I miss the comic book where Kitty Pride develops the ability to send people back in time to the previous consciousness. That so totally should have been Scarlet Witch. I don't think she does that, but at least her powers lean to creating alternate realities. House of M anybody?
3. It would be impossible for an electric current to pass through any plastic polymer anything. Sentinels would have to have some kind of metal wiring that could be torn out by Magneto. Speaking of which, how the hell does Magneto "magically" know how to rewire them? Even if he grasped some sort of knowledge through his magnetism power, he couldn't get a read on the sentinels with no metal. He wouldn't even know where to begin.
4. Still on Magneto; if someone were powerful enough to carry an entire stadium of metal, there is no where on the planet that you could put him and keep contained. Metal is dug up from the ground, if he were buried anywhere he could pull raw material from the earth. Make him less powerful. Peopled talked all kinds of crap on Ratner having Magneto moved the bridge in "Last Stand," and nothing but praise when Singer topped it. I even think Brian Singer mentioned in an interview that Magneto was to powerful.
5. Mystique is in no way an intelligent person, and far more leaning towards psychopath. If you live in an age where there are amazing mutations of every kind, how is time travel so inconceivable. The moment they first arrive and say, "Hey, we know it's crazy that we suddenly appeared at the perfect time, and know exactly what your intentions are, but you can't kill Trask because it leads to the decimation of the entire planet that you fight for." Threat neutralized.
6. I feel a bit nit picky about the next few, because they aren't major flaws.
A. James McAvoy- They loved him in what I personally felt- dare I say it, OVERACTING. It's possible and MY OPINION he did. Disclaimer better over acted then under. *Cough* Halle Berry.
B. While the quicksilver scene was awesome and the lines were funny, so many people could be just as good. It wasn't the pinnacle of acting job that an actor couldn't be directed to do.
7. Still over the expanse of all the movies, I can't forgive them for ruining awesome characters such as Rogue, Storm, Angel, Jean (and or Phoenix), Sabertooth (both of them), Iceman, and Deadpool.
I could go on... As this movie gets a little age on it, I'm sure I'll think of even more. As of right now I'm pretty upset with all these guys for turning the blind eye on so much.
I just saw the movie, I can confirm its better than Cap 2
Fox reivindicated with this movie, Sony should learn from this movie how to get right a comic book film.
man if i saw this review back in 2014 i would have gotten excited about fantastic four when they started talking about but we all know how that turned out
How was wolverine was in USA when in origins he was with striker? Was this set before origins? How did pro x come back to life? How did magnito get his powers? What was with mystique rescuing wolverine at the end? And finally the pinnacle point of the movie was to stop magnito why not take quick silver and get him to stop magnito?
theres something you missed! Stryker actually being Mystique at the end! How did you miss that??
Why do sentinels adapt different powers when Mystique only adapts appearance?
If Azazel is dead, Nightcrawler doesn't exist in X2.
Adamantium in the future?
Good film, 8.5/10
Peter Dinklage fuckin ruled in this movie!!!
I liked the film. Loved the teaser after the credits. Seemed more like Rise of the Sentinels, mixed with One Mans Worth from the TAS, than Days of Futures Past.
it would be so awesome cause quicksilver will be back in apocalypse if they had a special scene where magneto tells quicksilver he´s his father cause quicksilver
did´nt know that in DOFP
I enjoyed Days of Future Past, but I think it is only about the same level as X-Men 2 and First Class, it clearly doesn't come close Captain America Winter Soldier, for me. Why is that? I like very thematic movies, Winter Soldier did great on the freedom vs security question, and even the X-Man films have there themes, they just were not as focused on them.
My negatives were just as much as they did address continuity they made it look like wolverine wouldn't get adamantium back
And then the world Logan returns too seems too perfect, it seems as if there can be no next villain obviously we know that that will be Apocalypse but then what next?
Also they didn't even mention how Kitty suddenly has this new amazing power to send people back that she didn't have previously. To the people who knew her from the movies it seemed like they just randomly threw a new power onto her resumé
I thought it was the best X-MEN movie so far. I agree with what all of you on the panel said about the movie. The ending was great. Hopefully the next one will be great to.
So does Emma, Angel, Banshee, etc officially die? Because on the plane Magneto said they did and I think Mystique saw pictures of their dissected bodies. I'm asking this because I love Emma and Banshee and I hope to see them in future X men related films. And although the future was changed the past hasn't; so what's the deal? Will they be reinvented in the next film(s)? Or they're dead, gone, and not worth any development?
This panel is usually very rational when it comes to reviews of comic movies, but this review for Xmen DOFP was so irrational and one sided it really bothers me. No negatives? No freakin way! There was plenty of stuff that didn't flow correctly to many of us in the audience
Also, a nice contrast between Trask and the giant sentinels
Loved, loved LOVED McAvoy's performance in this! I think it must have been the most difficult character to play. My Xmen fav movies were 1 and First Class, but I just loved this film. Nice to finally have a good movie out there that gives us ladies some very nice eye candy. Everyone did a great performance in this film. As Xavier would say - "top marks!"
In quicksilver's scene, how was his music playing normal speed when everything else was in slo-mo?
I was skeptical about watching this film cause X-MEN: First Class sucked so much ass. Even Jennifer Lawrence was really bad in it. But I'm glad I did watch it, Jenn came back strong and the story was amazing.
X-Men DOFP > Avengers
Fuck that.
Underrated? Overrated? Well everyone is entitled to their opinion and for me this movie got all the praise it deserved. Truly outstanding, although as a big fan of her character in the cartoon/comic, I would have loved to see a little more Rogue.
She will be feature a little more in the extend BluRay which will add extra scenes.
BlueHooloovoo
I look forward to it
I thought it was overrated
I think the Sentinels must've been based both on Mystique (for their shape-shifting abilities) and Rogue (for her power absorbing/replicating abilities). In the deleted scenes, they have to rescue Rogue. Maybe she was being experimented on- extracting her DNA? Would've loved to have seen her in the fight against the Sentinels, absorbing their powers and allowing one of the other X-Men to finish off the Sentinel. We might've seen her fly then. Maybe seen her kick some arse.
C Chadwick that could explains one of the issues i had with sentinels... I was like Mystique cannot copy other mutant's powers
the movie fucking sucked...great scenes but overall did not come together
EES That person is a troll, don't entertain their BS
EES
it was shite
***** you just made me laugh!! XD XD...
Sammy Kupniewski me too. Movie was great !
Crash Prime totally agreed, i think this could be my number 1 movie on this first half of the year, my top 3 are Godzilla, Captain America Winter Soldier and X-Men Days of Future Past
please say someone else noticed maximoffs little sister on his lap whilst magneto was on tv? Scarlet Witch
***** cool can't wait, singer said that
I was actually thinking Polaris, because of the age difference.
***** great more competition against the other version in avengers 2
Stacy H Quicksilver is the older twin I think...but maybe he GROWS at a faster rate. The girl is about the right age for the movie, given the timeframe (First Class - Kennedy era, DoFP - Nixon era) So Eric would've had to have gotten married/fathered before Kennedy's death since He probably got captured during Johnson's administration...and has been locked up while Nixon is president. That's the onnnnly way I can see them explaining that crap. He just GROWS faster, probably the reason for his premature graying too.
Bryan singer said it is not Scarlett witch as they are twins
Lmao oh if only they knew about Fant4stic....
😂😂😂i know oh john if only you knew
If only they could have seen Endgame 2019
I actually think its better than the Avengers, better than Captain America the Winter Soldier and better than the Dark Knight Rises. Not joking.
The only comic book movies that imo are better then this are Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and Deadpol.
erosion271 Batman Begins is a slightly more solid story and saved an entire franchise.
+erosion271 Why are you arguing with someone's opinion?
I agree. DOFP is the best CBM ever made IMO
A big negative for me has always been how under used storm has been.
yeah i agree but she was pregnant.
Agreed! She's essentially a Goddess, but they never portray her as such...
I still loved it every time she was shown on screen
I feel she should get a stand alone.
Calm down calm down she won't be pregnant on the next xmen age of apocolipse
Damn amazing film, this is no doubt the best X-Men film. I still prefer Captain America: The Winter Soldier a bit more, but this was still an awesome movie.
can someone please help me? i didnt really enjoy cap 2. what about it made you love it so much.
I definitely agree Justin Stephens !! :)
dan tan The reasons I liked Cap 2 so much were the amazing fight scene choreography, the emotional roller coaster that you went along with Cap on, in which he has basically an internal battle with himself about where he belongs in the world and how to save his best friend from being this mindless weapon that Hydra made him. I loved that Cap 2 was something that we've never seen before in a superhero movie, it was more than just a superhero film, it was a espionage and thriller all at the same time, but it also had ties to how people see their governments and how there is always something that seems hidden in our governments (such as Hydra hidden within Shield). To me, Cap 2 was something special, it had dark points that could measure up to The Dark Knight but still managed to also have the light hearted moments that everyone loves in Marvel Movies, the movie is just something special to me
after watching DOFP, I sat back and asked myself why Cap 2 was so awesome. I wouldnt re-watch Cap 2 when its out on dvd/bluray but i would definitely re-watch DOFP. In the end, what matters is: will the movie be remembered and will it hold up 5-10+ years from now.
Cap 2 i think i would watch it if its on tv or something but DOFP i'd go out of my way to buy a copy of it and can rewatch it. Ive noticed the same thing with inception...must have rewatched that 3-4 times a year since it came out on bluray
head count, Winter Soldier lose, actor not that great either.
1) Beside Samuel and Christ Evan, the casts are ok that great either. Robert is straight up obvious evil business man. Scarlet as side character again, typical.
2) And character wise, Nick Fury + Captain + Widow, that's only 3. Avenger has way more. Xmen, nuff said, like freaking 20 characters.
3) CGI effect and action wise no match either, like compare dynamite vs. firework. Look at the trailer, Xmen Day of Future Past is obviously way way more fun.
"You gonna pick all that shit up"
"Whiplash!!"
When they start talking about Fant4stic...LMFAO.
Sad but I really think the greatness of DOFP came from the uncredited James Cameron.
Hopefully this will shut the Marvel should get their rights back crowd up.
i know, the thing with Marvel is you get alot of the same "fans" hating on movies by Fox and Sony (Xmen and Spiderman) because they all hopped on the bandwagon. They all think Marvel/Disney is the only ones who can make good movies when alot of their movies weren't even that good until recently like Cap 2. You don't need Spiderman and the xmen and the avengers universe to collide, it happens in comics but its not so easy to do on the big screen right.
i only wish they get to borrow wolverine, just so he can fight the hulk
letmeknow nah your wish is wasted.
letmeknow
Well, I'd rather wish that Disney would lend the Hulk to Fox for one movie, so we can see the "Old Man Logan" arc on the big screen.
Marvel should still get the rights back. This new X-Men movie may have been a good movie, but it wasn't a good X-Men movie. It might has well been the same movie under a different name. If you want them to tell the story of the characters in the comics or if you just want to see Hulk and Wolverine fight, then the rights should definitely go back to Marvel.
i was actually disappointed by this xmen film… don't get me wrong its a great great movie but the way amirose played it up i was just let down. I've already seen it 3 times and to me it was a good movie but all this hype of it being the best comic book movie, personally, i think is wrong. i still think that belongs to either avengers or The Dark Knight. i don't even think it was better than cap 2
Your crazy if you think the avengers was better than this movie. Now you are entitled to your own opinion. But the avengers was very dull and had some parts that dragged on. This x men movie was done flawless. If you want to find a movie better than this you can only argue cap America but this blew it out of the water
The quick silver part alone and the action with blink and the way they flawlessly tied in all the older movies in just genius pure genius and you have to admit these actors the main ones delivered performances that are oscar worthy aside from dark knight this movie shits on all the previous marvel movies ie
i said this movie was great i liked it but people were hyping it up like it was the best superhero movie to date. its in my top 5 but its not as good as Avengers The Dark Knight or Cap 2 I'm sorry but i guess I'm crazy cuz i wasn't disappointed by any of those three movies at all. sorry bro but i don't agree with you on the avengers issue
Daniel chavarria I agree with you. I think I had only one issue with Avengers and that was the Thor/Hulk fight. If anything they could've either shorten the fight scene with him and Iron Man and made the fight between Thor and Hulk longer and better. And I didn't like him jumping on Hulk's back like a girl, that was not very Thor-like. And bullets can't harm him yet he ran and ducked for cover. I just think that if they were going to give us an Asgardian bad ass, he should've been acting like one, just like he did when he fought Iron Man. Hopefully there will be a round two with those behemoths.
NoDDinOuTMeLoDy This movie had dull moments as well, a lot of characters were throw aways and the action sequences were OK and limited, get off your high horse.
My only negative is that they never use Colossus enough. He's always been a fav of mine but they never use him
Well, I thought they used him well in this film. He is not suppose to play a major role in the film. I understand your frustrations though. However, they did use him a lot in X3.
they never use colossus enough because he is not a mega favourite like wolverine and magneto, plus the actor who plays him isnt popular.
The actor who plays him doesn't really matter but you're right about the character
For me,his screen time doesn't bother me a whole lot,but what I can't understand is why, for the love of god can't they show how strong this guy is. In all his small scenes we never see him do any real impressive feats of strength.
I though the finale they didn't had enough Teamwork cooperation ,they were blatantly fending off the sentinels one by one ,thus resulting in their individual deaths =/. Blink's power was like very essential to their team,they could"ve tackle One Sentinel at a time since it only adapts to the respective mutant its facing ,why not 3 Mutants gang 1 Sentinel??
Can someone tell me what Quicksilver said that hinted Magneto was his dad? .. I sort of heard it but missed it cuz I dropped my popcorn lol
People think this movie is overrated. Well you're wrong because there is no bad thing about this movie. The only bad thing you'll find is that you have to knit pick and complain about little stuff.
So freaken true.
Can someone answer this? At the end of DOFP, we see Logan wake up in their present day with everyone else. So since Age of Apocalypse takes place in the 80's, does that mean it already happened?
Good question.
I also thought of that. So I guess they beat Apocalypse :)
That's what I assumed. But it kind of sucks, because if that's true, then we know that if Jean or Scott die, it won't matter.
I don't think AoA will be a period piece. I think it will take place with the old class.
dementedavenger2784 it has already been confirmed that it will take place with the new class
i was blown the f!ck away with this movie. the best movie i saw this year. YES better than captain america.
7 out of 10..its not all that..i thought AMC, especially John, overates some movies(cough, cough Man of Steel)...it was ok
Best X-Men ever.... On par with Dark Knight... ZOMG!
I agree
So this film acknowledges Quicksilver is the son of Magneto? One part Quicksilver was saying "My mom once knew somebody who could do that".
Lol wow its a shame to see these guys gush over this movie with the gaping holes in the storyline why waste time putting bishop in this movie why
Let's just accept that there's alternate timelines considering that this was indeed a time travel movie that altered and changed the X-Men chronology. Remember what Hank said about time-space acting like a river, it resets itself.
Tell me this if professor x is a junky and magneto is locced up who formed the Xmen and when they stopped mystique from killing Trask that would've been the ripple that changed the future and the movie lost sight of the facts it wasn't about her killing Trask and was about them not getting her
So because a great movie wasn't your thing it has gaping plot holes ? Lame..
I pointed out the holes get over it that shit made no sense u lame 😭😭😭😭
Cowboy DEE I think those "plot holes" aren't as broken as your English.
definitely a 10 for me. this is on Dark Knight level. I like this more than the Avengers for sure, but idk about the Dark Knight though. I'll have to see this 6 more times in theaters.
To me it was better than The Dark Knight & my reasoning for that is BATMAN! I cannot stand Christian Bale's Batman voice & Batman is the main character. The Joker was the greatest part of TKD we all know that. But I just couldnt find much to complain about with X-Men DOFP. I honestly cant. It's tough rating Avengers Vs X-Men DOFP, but I honestly would have to give it to X-Men DOFP the ensamble cast was AMAZING, the story, the action, the comedy & it wasn't overly campy at times like Avengers. I loved Avengers & Batman TDK but X-Men takes the cake for me... 10/10
SetgangTV yeah i guess if i was trying to look for something they could have done better in TDK , it would probably be Batman's voice as well. But That movie is really good though, I'm more a action thriller movie goer, so that's why i loved TDK so much since it was creepy and griddy and dark and so grounded.
but for sure X men DOFP is nothing but on TDK's level.
Goddamn you Marvel! Now DC, dawn of justice and flash will have to step it up even more! Lol, don't get me wrong I love both, just DC more now, glad this turned out awesome and will give life back to xmen movies. At least marvel is kinda split into three so avengers gonna have to step it up too especially with their quicksilver. I remember everyone making fun of this quicksilver, now he's the highlight, just goes to show u shouldn't judge a movie before u see it for yourself.
Aww. I miss Krisily. :(
Amirose, you fool. There was literally a close call moment at the end of this movie when Kitty was about to get blasted in the face, until Mystique dropped the gun LAST second.
I love how everyone's fate depended on Mystiques choice and Charles's skill to help mutants make the right choices. And McAvoy is fantastic at filling Patrick Stewart's shoes.
It was a great film. Negative is maybe the action scenes which wasnt enough for general audience. Drama is 10/10 but action wise is maybe 6/10. It wont make as much money as cap 2 oversea tho. Us , uk n aus maybe but def nt in asia. Ive heard that ppl dnt like it as much in asia.
how so ? Blink death =(?
Marvel DC Superhero Fan because the pull of simplified heroic story telling through overly done action sequences aka Avenger universe is easier to understand than the English language(subbed). with that said, Xmen Day Of Future Past has my solid vote for the best summer movie of 2014 or go as far as to say the best story telling movie of the year!
Good film but 10/10.. Nah no way!! This is made fr an x men fans but nt fr everyone. 5/10 ppl of non x men fans fell asleep in theater.
Fro Do Same =)
Jenny Lu Its for everyone too,when those Death scenes were too much for ppl to see lol
i have 2 negatives:
1. Jennifer Lawrance is way so overatedo seshe is just bad...
2. i think they could use another new mutant to send people back in time, i feel like it has nothing to do these 2 abilities from her.
'overatedo' wat? XD
thomassaurus ya typing in tablet for the first time is hardd hehehe
They should have brought in Cable! That would have been sick.
James Killpack He'll be in the next one.
Matthew Skinner He better be, dammit...that would be soo great!
I gotta say the future sentinels were a little op i mean they killed iceman blink colossus warpath sunspot and bishop not once but twice that was really hard to watch i don't think i'll ever get that image of colossus being torn in half by 2 sentinels out of my head ever
I know I was like oh hell no at first his head got crushed then split his body in half
I get what you mean about Colossus getting torn in half. And when the sentinel stands on Ice Man's neck and breaks off his head I was in tears.
Leah Rees I was shocked when that happend
Also I'm surprised about the praise for Jennifer Lawrence. The Mystique character was written fantastically, but she seemed so flat throughout the movie. It was as though she was just trudging through just to wrap up her contract.
God dammit, this is the first video with Krisely I rewatched after she left, I miss her :(
iSultan Sultangaliev seriously?? you miss krisely. what exactly do u miss about her?
If X-Men Apocalypse takes place in the past, then will the movie simply be Xavier telling Logan about what happened in the new continuation? Also, have the events of X2, X3, and The Wolverine been completely voided?
I was wondering the same thing. and yeah I think X1,2,3 and wolverine are all voided. Different timeline and shit now. Thats why I would love to see another Xmen movie with the Old cast, but unlikely :(
Yeah pretty much lol
Just because the end-credit scene has En Sabah Nur (AKA Apocalypse) doesn't mean the next movie has to take place in the past. If you know anything about Apocalypse then you know that this guy likes to prepare. He is the first mutant and as far as what he thinks, he will be the last mutant. In fact, he doesn't even consider himself a mutant in the comics when he fights the X-Men. He thinks himself a god...but if you lived thousands of years and obtained countless powers, would you not think you were a god too?
X1 as well; If Styker never actually took Wolverine, the he probably wouldn't get metal claws, so X1 couldn't have happened.
It all depends on what cast X-men: Apocalypse has. If it goes with the younger cast, then it would be in between 1973 and the 50 years later when Wolverine woke up. In terms of what movies count? X1, X2, X3, most of Origins, and The Wolverine has all been voided. ANYTHING that happened after 1973 and that moment has been changed and voided. However, everything previous to 1973 still exists, so Magneto and Xavier's pasts are still the same, all the mutants who died (Banshee, Azazel, Angel, Emma Frost, etc) are still dead, Wolverine's past in Origins previous to 1973 still happened, and all of First Class still happened.
Other, than that, everything else has been shifted.
I thought of two minor negatives for this movie:
1. When Erik says to wolverine "imagine if those were metal"; It just didn't seem to make much sense considering he has no idea that they were at some point.
2. When Erik tries to kill Raven; I don't quite see his motive there and think it was unnecessary.
Other than that though; 9.9/10 :)
The Wolverine was pure crap, worse then Origins. Why they even made that movie where the whole point was Wolverine losing adamantium which they've completely ignored and Charles being alive and teamed up with Magneto for what? 10 year surviving and then sending Wolverine back to past on his own initiative (which they didn't plan)??? Cause in that timeline there is no Sentinels.
Big question is: There wasn't any Sentinels in original trilogy timeline. Who changed that and with that move caused apocalyptic future???
AND (Spoiler)
Wolverine survived, Stryker/Mistique found him, he went through project x program, found Professor, lived as history professor in the mansion and after 30-40 years, one they he just remembered everything???
Logan loses his Ada claws in The Wolverine. He still has his ada skeleton. The Wolverine happened in 2013 and the dark future happened in 2023. Plenty of time for Logan to find a way to get his claws back. He probably got his claws back with the help of Magneto. Magneto could easily fuse new ada metal giving Logan his claws back.
_Big question is: There wasn't any Sentinels in original trilogy timeline. Who changed that and with that move caused apocalyptic future???_
This guy John David Croasdell, summed it up pretty well.

Trask couldn't find a buyer/investor for his PROTOTYPE Sentinels. Mutants where merely a rumor, not a tangible threat. When Mystique shot and killed him in the past, his work was still there, but still without a buyer and without a great scientific mind behind it. Mystique's capture in X-Men 3: The Last Stand gifts Trask's research with Her Mutated DNA and and enables the company to finish and sell a COMPLETED Sentinel Prototype to fit the demand of protection that may feel necessary in the public's eye after considering the events of X -Men 1, 2 and 3, thus giving the Future Sentinels have their first ancestor: Transforming and Adapting Sentinels 1.0 after the events of The Last Stand. Looks like Beasts efforts at the UN were in vain...
Jennifer Hamels
What you've said about Wolverine is pretty far-fetched but John's comment is pretty damn ''possible to happen''
FrenkyCRO
If you scroll down the comments you can probably still find John's original comment. He also puts out there that Magneto could possibly be the reason Wolverine has his claws back. Pretty clear *a lot* of things happen off screen. Like the deaths of Angel and Azazel in 1963, the death of Beast in 2015 in the timeline, etc etc.
So Wolverine getting his claws back off screen isn't far-fetched at all.
Jennifer Hamels
Tnx for being helpful. And what about Wolverine remembering what happened 30 years later? Any idea about that?
FrenkyCRO Hmm well, the way I see it, Logan from 2023 retained all his memories from the old timeline, like Charles said he would in the beginning of the movie, because that consciousness is connected to that body in 2023. So when Logan leaves the Logan body of 1973 to return back to his original body in 2023, he still only has memories from the old timeline and going back in time.
Why has it been two days since y'all put out another video? Run out of superhero shit to talk about? Seriously I like you guys and everything but y'all need to talk about all these other great indi movies that are coming out. I'm seriously Sick of hearing y'all geek out all the time. Just trying to be honest because I love y'all so much.
Did anyone notice that the name of Peter Dinklages company in the movie was called TRASK which if you rearrange spells STARK. Game Of Thrones homage ?
This movie knocks Avengers out of my top 5 best comic book movies, probably puts it as my 3rd favorite. It was just almost flawless other than the couple of things that they didn't explain.
Come on avengers is way better then this shit
REGINALD JONES Don't get me wrong, Avengers was awesome. But plot wise, it is bland compared to this one.
7/10 for me
Some things I didnt like:
Cheesy childhood flashback
Jennifer Lawrence
The high frame rate.
The end setpiece was a bit brief
A little melodramatic at times
I still enjoyed it. Just not as much as these guys. I feel similarly about First Class.
What do you mean the high frame rate? Is that how real/clarity the film was made to look? I never really liked how the X films looked or how the coloring was. Maybe X2 & First Class were the best but the rest just looked odd.
Sounds like fluff to me... I guess some people are just hard to please!
Tyson Brough Or some people are just pleased by different things. I liked TASM2 a bit more than this.
***** Wow. No need to call him a dumbass because of his preferences. .. Why is it so hard to stay civil on the web? I haven't seen TASM2 because I heard it was fairly terrible, and I've watched and love DOFP. But if someone disagrees with me, well that's their prerogative. No need for name calling.
Nathan U "Some men aren't looking for anything logical".
I'm sorry, but the people working at AMC really have low standards. Have they even disliked a film yet this year? "Oh, this film is my favorite, but this movie is leagues above that." How fucking huge is your range for a film to be "amazing" or "awesome"?? Even a film as atrocious as ASM2, they gave a frikkin' 7(!) to...
They don't review movies they don't like, so it may seem like that. But if you want another opinion: this movie is absolutely fantastic, an 11 out of10.
Ruy Duarte Agreed!!! Loved every minute of it!
I concur with the above comments the movie was outstanding I think tasm2 wasn't that high
jrm48220
I will give you Osborn/Goblin. But rhino was there to set up the sinister six. Both will have more time in other movies, and Goblin will probably be the villain in the next.
The AMC crew don't have low standards. They are just more positive than the majority of this generation of movie viewers. They have a love and enjoyment of film in general, so they don't set out to purposely critique, nit-pick, or be negative-Nancy's.
In previous films I felt like Xavier could do no wrong, even in first class he rarely made mistakes, in this film I felt so much more for him because I did make mistakes, and he did make bad choices, and then he just wants to be left alone, but can't shake the fact that he wants to save mystique. James did an awesome performance, same with fassbender.
Well let's see if this movie can make avengers or iron man 3 money. I liked it but not better than cap2, avengers, dark knight. To tell you the truth I like watchman better but then this movie slides in right after to get into my top 5. Just my opinion though. Only complaints are kitty was garbage and her powers dont make sense and I actual thought the mutants in the future like ice man and bishop were poorly used and were essentially just cannon fodder/ sacrificial lambs. No real character development for the b class mutants. The AMC crew is just riding the high of men right now but soon they may come back to reality. I give this movie 8.3.
***** I know, right!? The movie was excellent!! But I'm reading some of these comments and I think a lot of people just didn't understand it. I keep on reading "plot holes" and other bullshit and I'm like, were you watching the same movie? Pretty easy to understand. And Marvin, come on, man! Character development on the B class mutants?? That's just fishing for something to pick at
***** That is the furthest thing from nit picking. You're kidding right? He actually gave REASONS as to why he didn't like it that much and those reasons are actual problems the movie had, it's not like he thought it sucked.
***** Yea ok but he wasn't nit picking he actually gave reasonable criticism of the film because they were actually true. Kitty Prydes powers did NOT make sense and it was not explained, that's not a fanboy complaint that's an actual film complaint that I'm sure film critics will point out.
Joshua Kelly Nope, wasn't kidding. Actually what I was saying was " Some other people in the comments had a problem with this, that, the other. Just picking the shit out of it. I don't disagree with how Marvin feels about the film. I disagree about the character development part. My way of looking at it is this is the 4th X-Men movie. You know who Ice-Man is! You've seen him and his story in the other three films. Bishop? I thought it was fine how they used him and they'll probably do more with him down the line. When you have a cast of that many amazing actors giving those types of performances, I'm sorry but I'm not giving a fuck that Bishop and Ice didn't get more to do. LOL! The future scenes were there to show just how dire their situation was and how mutants and people alike were getting slaughtered. So in that case, I didn't think he gave a valid REASON, as you put it
***** The character development issue goes directly to the newly shown Mutants.
Blink, Warpath, Sunspot, Bishop etc a lot of us actually wanted to know who the hell they were but they were just throw aways.
The performances were NOT that great lol they were just good solid performances you'd expect from a film like this and even if they were OMGAMAZING they still need to explain who the hell the newbies were.
I'm still geeking out about this movie, and its been 2 months now!
that chick on the right is annoying. "ohhh this movvie is SOOO perfect" blah blah blah.
