I'm sorry Brett, but that Apocalypse costume sucks. I've seen cosplay that looks better, COSPLAY!!!!!! You would think a big Hollywood Studio movie with an over $100 million budget could do better!!!!!

CGI or motion capture would have probably been a better choice for Apocalypse.

And, as usual, adherence to the source material has no actual bearing on the quality of the film, thus rendering reason 3 moot.

Fox has a solid handle on the X-Franchise. I'm not overtly worried about it. At worst it will be a solid watch.

Now, Fantastic Four on the other hand....

Most FOX X-Men movies taken individual are quite nice and boast some great character moments even though they are guilty of wallpapering characters in favor of featuring a core cast over and over again. So I do enjoy the X-Movies, don't get me wrong....

BUT taken as a whole, FOX has made a real mess of the franchise. It's more confusing than X-Men continuity in the 1990's,

I am also sure once all the special effects have been added those costumes will look good, but as of right now? Decent cosplay at best!

No wolverine ( at least in a major role) is a selling point for me.
Fassbenders Magneto can do no wrong though.

Whatever your opinion of Marvel Studios is they have managed to make 11 entertaining movies, 5 shorts, 2 seasons of SHIELD, 1 season of Agent Carter, and 1 season of Daredevil, a huge amount of content that has varied in quality from good to awesome and has managed to build an expansive world and a timeline that makes sense.

FOX, on the other hand, have 7 movies out of which 2 were unwatchable (W:Origins and X-Men 3: TLS), 1 (The Wolverine) was brought down by its atrocious third act so much so that I consider it worse than the worst of Marvel, and 4 pretty great to awesome movies. Their world building has been good although the timeline is so confusing and distorted there is no way anyone can make sense of it... I dare anyone who disagrees with me to give it a shot :P

Kind of putting the cart before the horse, don't you think? Mystique is not a first-stringer that they featured prominently in the movies. Mystique's featured prominently in the movies, thus became a first-stringer. She was at best at the same level as Havok and Banshee in 2000.

No Wolverine!
Great article.

I'm adopting a firm "wait-and-see" policy on this movie. I've been burned too many times by Fox. How many times have they introduced characters to have them be little more than wallpaper? I feel like aside from the main characters, every mutant Fox has introduced has just been a CGI set-up: "hey, let's show this power!" with no real development or connection to anything resembling the source material (though, I agree, adherence to source material by no means guarantees a good movie). Just think of Juggernaut, Sunspot, Gambit, Blob, Blink, Quicksilver, the list goes on.

I'm not getting my hopes up that these new X-men are anything more than a reason for a special effect.

The previous X-Men films were always summer blockbuster special effects films but not 'comic book films' like Superman, Dick Tracy, Batman, etc. The didn't want to be visually identified as the comic books so they embraced The Matrix look and toned it down so it was sci fi/action but not comic book.

Until now.

FINALLY we get an, X-Men COMIC BOOK MOVIE!
