To those who have seen it, is it worth watching at all, then?
Because hearing everything I was hyped for being cut has me wondering whether I should bother at all now

I came into the thread wondering the same thing. Lana said her Jubilee was used as comedic relief in the film, and honestly, the reviews aren't looking so good. If its just a short cameo, and a lot of Jennifer Lawrence monologues, then I can skip it. So fellow firecrackers, yay or nay?
X: Ah, okay. Reading back several pages, I see that she doesn't appear much after all Well, saves me a movie ticket.

While I do think it's worth checking out if you're an X-Fan, if your interest was primarily Jubilee and not much else, it's better to wait.
I do wonder if we'll get a reason for the cut. They're was apparently a version of the movie with the scenes intact, Singer kept talking about the mall scene, both Lana and James confirmed she would use her powers and she's being used in the promotional stuff if the latest commercial is to go by. The only reason I can think of is time, but I'm sure even a condensed version of it could have fit somewhere.
Hopefully a Jubilee cut will come out eventually.
If you are watching for Jubilee just save your money and hope they restore the scenes in the home release. I don't want most of her scenes to end up as deleted scenes again. I think as long as Jennifer Lawrence is under contract and I'm sure they will sign her up for more there won't be any room for any female characters to have more significant parts. Jean got more but even some of her scenes were probably cut along with Jubilee to make room for more boring speeches.
In protest against Marvel's constant ignoring of Surge.
Thanks for that.
I'm fine with an X-men fic sans Jubilee (even knowing that all her scenes ended up getting shat on in classic studio favor of more screen time for the big name lead), I just don't want to waste my money on the new equiv another X-men 3 - the Last Stand, and thus in anyway support such a garbage movie.
This of course all after the success of Deadpool, so the Execs at Fox think simply adding blood, guts, swearing, and boobs for an R rating = instant success
But if it's still a good superhero movie at the end of the movie, then I might have to see it on the big screen (as to let me start writing 80s Era fanfiction, and ship me some Kurt and Jubilee).
So, go in with low expectations and something to spike one's drink with is what you're saying?
Cripes, I'm back on the fence over whether I'm gonna waste my money watching this just so I can get me some Fanfic on, or if I'll wait until Netflix gets it like 2 weeks after it's avail for a digital rental.
......and Marvel has X-men '92 on a monthly schedule now, too! For flub sake, us Jubilee fans just can't win!
Oh, and as far as other obvious statements go, the sky is blue, and grass is green.
Well, just saw it and she got to say a couple of lines and she was in the foreground of a few shots so it's easily her biggest win in an X-Men movie. I'm guessing they removed most of the mall scene (they kept a scene of them walking out of a cinema) because it probably slowed the movie down or something. It was an okay movie - not as good as the two before it, but not actually bad like Last Stand was. If you're just there for Jubilee, wait to see if there's a Director's cut. If you're there for the wider X-Men, may as well go and see it.
You know, I was really hoping this was gonna spurn on writers to make Jubilee a mutant again to better line up with the movies, just like Marvel does with everything else. No reason for it now.
Aren't they going to the 90s next to (I have to assume because there's absolutely no other reason to do it) introduce young Rogue, iceman, Colossus and whatnot? And doesn't Kinberg want to shoot them into space next? She might appear in the movie but I'm not at all confident Jubilee will get a ticket on the spaceship.
I just managed to see X-Men: Apocalypse.
Jubilee, although some of her big scenes were cut (arcade, powers, escaping from mall security, befriending Kurt, and hanging with Jean...) she still has more screentime than X1-X3 combined... And speaks about the same or a tiny bit more dialogue than her deleted scenes from X1 and dialogue from X2 in this one movie. She has several close up shots as well. She isn't a major character, but it's obvious her parts were cut as well as the mall stuff, and also shows at least she is close friends with Nightcrawler.
Here is a spoiler run-down of Jubilee's scenes that weren't cut-
spoilers:end of spoilers
When Cyclops and Havok arrive at the mansion, Jubilee is shown with a few close ups in Xavier's classroom.
Nightcrawler and Jubilee walk in the mansion halls, with close ups on each as he says he is new to America. They enter a room and Jubilee introduces Nightcrawler to Scott. She is shown smiling a bit.
The four teens exit the theater in the mall. Jubilee and Scott are the focus as she has two sentences explaining why she feels Empire is the best Star Wars film.
The four teens return to the mansion in a car, and Jubilee can be seen several times as they drive up to the destroyed mansion.
Jubilee heads over to the group of students and teachers... But gets knocked out with everyone else when Stryker attacks. She is shown up close standing up and then looking at the helicopter flying by.
At the end of the movie, Jubilee and Nightcrawler are standing together, with them in the center of the frame, as they watch the mansion being rebuilt.
You were interested in just Jubilee? Btw my two fave Jubilation moments from the film: spoilers:end of spoilers
In the first scene where she is shown in Xavier's class, he asks the class a question and Jubes is the first to raise her hand, Hermione Granger style. I found that amusing. Then there's a cool slow mo shot of her flipping her hair and sitting in the back seat of the car with Jean when the kids return from the mall, as the Quicksilver sequence begins and "Sweet Dreams" by Eurythmics starts to play.
