This is not X-Men...

At least it's not the X-Men I read in the comics back when i was a kid. This is moody teenagers being moody. Nothing in the trailer excited me for this. I thought with the last one, finally we are getting the villains the X-Men deserve but now we are back to being moody... May as well be another moody teenage Vampire and moody teenage Werewolf movie who both love a moody teenage girl.

I enjoyed this X-men timeline...however I will admit it might be time for them to find new creative force behind them.

Other than that hopefully reshoots and fact they know this is the end of Fox timeline might give them balls to do something exciting here. Last movie had lots of cool moments, but it failed to connect because of being too bloated. I will watch it but expectations aren't high...so might be bittersweet good ending for all this.

I'd rather go watch a episode of the real X-men. Ahh good times.

Rewatched the whole series recently, held up pretty well, all things considered. However, Fox injected some weird commentary into the last season that didn't really mesh all that well.

The problem with prequels (for me) is that, we know where the story line is ultimately heading.
The answers are written in the first trilogy, made in the nineties. For this reason the films have no where to go than to lead inexorably to that moment. I understand the deepening of characters and their back story etc. But I can’t muster any real enthusiasm to watch them because of ‘knowing the answers’. Does anyone else get that ?
But, that Sophie Turner, phew she’s very very nice.

I saw the trailer and whilst I will watch it it didn't have me going "Oooh". Mind you, my opinion may be invalid as I really enjoyed X Men: Apocalypse...

The thing is, Fox's X-men films like to ignore continuity in whenever way they please. So I wouldn't expect this movie to tie into the original trilogy (which started in 2000 btw :) ) .. I mean there is a funeral scene in this film, if that's one of the X-men then once again continuity is out of the window again (I think that could possibly be mystique's funeral for example)

I love comic book movies, but I'm starting to hit comic book movie fatigue. The only upcoming movie I plan on seeing in theaters is Avengers IV, and that's mainly because I want to see it before spoilers hit every inch of the Internet. Everything else I'll watch at home when it's available on Redbox, or as in the case of X-Men: Apocalypse, I'll just watch the abbreviated version on CinemaSins.

I especially dislike inaccurate continuity. It’s supremely annoying, enough so that the whole thing falls apart for me and I’ll not watch a film. .Things have to join up or it’s just not true!

And, oh yes, the first Xmen film was released in 2000. Wow, thought it came out in 1998. Tempus fugit and all that.

mmmmm Sophie Turner......Gghhhrrrrhhh

I actually think that the lack of continuity has helped the X-Men films. That sort of thing only bothers me if the films are sold as a continuity (like the MCU or Star Wars) .. if the films are good that's all that matters to me. I'm pretty simple to please though.
