That would have meant something if his x films were actually consistent.
I'm cautiously optimistic, but remember way back when when people were gushing about episode 2 before release?
???
he only did xmen 1 and 2, those were pretty consistent to me in spite of x2's leap in quality

Hah, that's hilarious. Cool if people think the Quicksilver bit is good, interested in seeing how both studios handle the character.
Cap 2.
Loved the effects they used for his running in
If history has proven anything it's that the more Singer influence an Xmen film has the more likely it'll turn out good.
She will probably only be on screen for 10 minutes tops =(

Looking like this will be the first X-Men I'll catch in the theater.

I can see this movie making $130m or $100m over the 4-day weekend. FC had positive buzz as well but people just weren't as interested. Toss in the star power of Jackedman and Lawrence, and it could bump DoFP up by a decent margin.
If reviewers compare it to Avengers, that will probably improve the numbers.

I am super excited for this movie!
Twitter reaction threads are filled with confirmation bias. A lot of I told you so nonsense and so on. To me it's just noise till I see the movie, I believe in Singer though since X2 is one of my top comicbook flicks.
People keep saying this like it's true

Doesn't need to be true, just needs to sound good. That's how you get people to repeat it.
The initial reactions to ASM2 were plenty more mixed than this, and even many of the positive ones were some variation of, "Well it was pretty dumb/messy but I liked it."

Oh man. This is looking better than expected. Clearly Avengers massively overperforming has raised the bar all around.
If GOTG does well DC will have to knock it out of the park with Batman vs superman.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
God, the minute I saw the poster at a theater in Osaka I was like "oh god Japan, you fucked it up. God dammit."
How can u not love Andy Warhol man?
no we didn't
Same, the recent Godzilla thread is another good example of confirmation bias working its' magic before a film even hits theaters. It always weirds me out when I see people talk about their opinions of a film that they haven't even seen yet.

No matter how good he is the costume design is still garbage, which is what most people were criticizing.

It would be hilarious if the initial TMNT twitter reactions follow the same path, "The nostrils are the best part of the movie! Can't imagine the turtles without them now!!"
It still baffles me as to why anyone ever thought it would be. Most of this predictions saying "This movie is going to be such a trainwreck" were completely unfounded. Both X-Men films that Singer directed were great, and first class was solid. I think that now because we live in the Marvel Studios era, some people have become brainwashed into thinking that no Marvel super-hero movie pre-Iron Man was every really that good.

Does this movie manage to fix some of the numerous continuity errors?
Wait. I thought people LOVED Amazing Spider Man 2!
And i took this... from the "amazing spider man 2 first impressions" gaf thread.
Oh no.
Probably has a lot to do with that terrible first trailer.
Will there be a non-spoiler reaction thread on GAF?
I think it was Captain Merca that released early overseas and the reactions on GAF make me decide to check it out.
I didn't want to watch this movie but if it's as good as the quotes in the OP say, i'll watch it. Hopefully it's actually X-Men and not Wolverine & Friends.

Look at each director's track record and you'll see that it's very unlikely. Singer seems like a horrible person, but his X-Men movies have been great.

Costume design being garbage led to character being garbage.
Character being garbage led to Singer being garbage.
Singer being garbage led to the movie being garbage.
Movie being garbage led to Fox being garbage.
Fox being garbage led to "give rights back to Mahvel!"
