My thoughts on X-Men: Apocalypse
9 years ago
General
Well..... we've had 4 CBM that've come out this year, folks. 2 good, 2 bad. The good: Cap: Civil War and Deadpool.... yep, Fox did it again!
This movie makes First Class look like a masterpiece, and you all should know how much I frickin' HATE that movie. Here though.... it's official, guys. Fox just doesn't care anymore with their properties. They're not organized like Marvel Studios are, they just do whatever directors want with THEIR "VISION".
The only saving graces were Nightcrawler and Quicksilver. Once again, Quicksilver stole the show.
The first half hour of this was legitimately good. But geez... it's right up there with Batman Vs Superman's level of utter stupidity.
Apocalypse himself... my God, ever since people first started pointing it out, he looked like Ivan Ooze. Here.... he was just a joke! He wasn't intimidating, he wasn't threatening. He kept going into this 'scary voice' which didn't invoke fear or power, just laughter at how utterly ridiculous he sounded. Nothing felt like an end-of-world-feel. Sheesh, event Transformers: Dark of the Moon felt more doom-y than this.
So many things that weren't needed in this crap: Wolverine, Stryker, Psylocke, Angel... all of it was just worthless!
I AM DONE WITH THE X-MEN MOVIES!
They somehow managed to redeem themselves with Days of Future Past, and I've given way too many chances, and with 2 disappointing Wolverine movies, and a craptacular First Class, and yeah, I even admit that X3 wasn't good (some parts I do really like), this is the nail in the coffin.
I know there's gonna be diehard blind fanboys saying it's a 'masterpiece'. Shoot, one of them actually said that this was a 'love letter' to the fans. If it was, this a Dear, John letter. My God, before the movie started, we had Alexandra Shipp who played Storm, telling us she hoped we enjoyed the movie as much as they enjoyed filming it. Man, that nearly brought me to tears after watching this whole damn movie.
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!
I'm sick of Magneto, I'm sick of Wolverine being forced into everything, I'm sick of all my favorite X-Men characters getting shoved off the side, I'm sick of Stryker, I'm sick of the friggin' confusing as all balls timeline, and I'm just sick of FOX not bringing this franchise up to their potential. Which it does, guys! It REALLY does. New Wolverine movie coming next year? I ain't gonna see it!
I never meant this as intently as I do today, Fox. Give X-Men and Fantastic Four to Marvel Studios. It's obvious you don't care about comic book movies, it's obvious you're ashamed of them being on the big screen. Marvel Studios, I'm gonna be praying EVERY DAMN DAY you get both properties back. I'm serious, you guys WILL do these two justice.
Oh, and BTW.... CYCLOPS' OPTIC BLASTS ARE NOT FRIGGIN' SUPERMAN HEAT-VISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
