Y'all have a SHORT memory. Remember how terrible the teaser for Days of Future Past was? And yet that filmed turned out to be the best in the series.

the "best" in a miserably uninspired series isn't a good movie.
 
Wow, you people are hard to please. GAF was super down on DoFP before it came out too, so I don't think most of you are good judges of these things. Singer Xmen is the best thing going in comic movies.
 
Or you know Cyclops.

Of course, but he's still too young here. Having Wolverine in the lead with Cyke constantly pushing him or questioning his decisions and showing those leadership qualities would have been a good a stepping stone for him to take the mantle of leader in the next movie.

I agree about everything in this post. Personally the trailer looked great.

I don't think DoFP is universally agreed to be amazing. It seems, to me, that there's a sharp line between those who want it more like the comics and those who could care less.

The former think it's merely average while the latter think it's the best. So, I dunno how you could rate it above good.
 
I'll be there day one because i trust Singer but i feel like every damn x-men movie is on damn repeat. Hey we're friends! nope Magneto still evil! kill the humans!! humans are saved! emo professor X, Jlaw still sucks and still probably confused about what side she should be on, new class 2.0, etc

Seriously this xmen crew is supposed to take on and defeat Apocalypse? The younger versions of the xmen could barely beat an 80yo Magneto?

Eh, will still probably be fun at least.
 
Thought DoFP is the best comic book movie outside of Nolan Batman, so Im expecting greatness from Singer again.

First of all the Nolan Batman films are trash besides maybe Dark Knight, and even that film is mediocre and highly overrated. There are lots of comic book movies better than Nolan's overrated trilogy:

X2
DOFP
Winter Soldier
Avengers 1
GOTG
Scott Pilgrim
Spider-man 2
Hellboy 1 & 2

It's safe to say Apocalypse will easily outclass the Batman films.
 
Sorry people but Scott Derrickson has a proven record of making garbage.

It's not like Marvel encourages their directors to give a ton of input anyway so it shouldn't matter as long as he follows whatever the higher ups tell him to.

LOL as if that is any better.
 
Jennifer Lawrence playing Jennifer Lawrence.

Sophie Turner playing Sansa Stark

I hope Nightcrawler kills Apocalypse by accidentally teleporting into him and then the movie ends.
 
I liked it when he was big, didn't like it when he was small. I didn't like his voice and bald Charles ohh ahhh bald reveal was not needed.

Big Apocalypse shown, I fear is only dream mode.
 
So my friend is now boycotting the movie due to the line about how maybe the Bible got it from him line 😑
I can't think of anything less threatening to spiritual beliefs than a movie franchise with an occasionally fuzzy blue Kelsey Grammar dramatically saying with a straight face that an equally blue shrinky-growy robo-man might be be an inspiration for the avant-garde epilogue of the bible.
 
That's an interesting take, yeah. They probably want to see if people get vocal about that in the trailer.

That was my immediate thought. Wolverine has been the main draw of the entire franchise, and he's always been marketed front and center. And unlike First Class, he is in this movie. So him not being in the trailer at all is certainly not a coincidence. It has to have been calculated.
 
I kinda liked that but I was horribly distracted by James McAvoy's wig! Could they not have filmed his pre-bald scenes before he shaved his head?

If it's not a wig, then what on earth is going on up there?
 
The trailer was ok. When Xavier said "Oh my god he can control us all" I find a bit worrying because I hope people are going to Apocalypse side because they want to and not because of mind control.
