Nice "New X-Men" costumes. Hope it is better than the last one, especially since it is probably the last in this series.

Good trailer.

X-Men trailers always nail the music aspect.

So Mystique is always gonna be one of the good guys, because it's Jennifer Lawrence?

J-Law can't be evil!

It's the one thing that I absolutely hate about this franchise. She may as well be a different character.

Anyway, looks alright I guess. Not super hyped though. Was never a huge fan of the story despite what a "classic" it is.

I think this is still the best X-Trailer overall

Yeah. I mean she had her MOMENTS of being on the right side, but so did Sabretooth for example. Mystique is still a villain.

Don't know why they are even doing the story again..... seems like there are many memorable X-Men stories to draw from.... but instead they "go back to the well". Not even a "buffer movie" between introducing Jean Grey and Dark Phoenix.... introduced in one movie, evil heel turn story the very next.

Right. She's a selfish, manipulative cunt, who once in a great while has a smidge of compassion.

Looks good but I probably won't see it.

Always hated the new X-Men suits.

Meh. Not that into this one.

I just don't care. Feels like since the MCU really exploded this franchise is just meaningless now. Get the X-Men in the MCU already.

Also, the suits are a bit meh. I was excited at the end of Apocalypse coz I thought we'd finally see the 90's cartoon suits we all grew up with on the big screen.

Aw well. I love the X-Men though, and I'll still go and see it.

this will be the last of this canon of films for sure.

I'm not sure how I feel about the eventual MCU version of the X-Men.

Disney version of Fantastic Four I am hoping for, but the X-Men have (mostly) been well-handled by FOX. I think LOGAN ranks among the best superhero flicks ever made, imo.

For my money have been 4ish good fox marvel movies.

X-Men
Logan
Deadpool
Deadpool 2

The rest are meh, good enough or train wrecks.

I'd put X2 over X-Men, and I really liked X-Men: First Class as well.

Totally forgot about the 90s suits at the end of Apocalypse..... now I do feel ripped off.

Days of Future Past is on the bubble for me.

Yeah.... definitely not terrible like Apocalypse, but a bit of a letdown after First Class

Sophie Turner is a terribly limited actress. Apocalypse was always going to stink but she made it unbearable.

I dunno. She did what was given to her.

I enjoyed Apocalypse. I mean it had its flaws and would have benefitted greatly from being a two partner, but I don't think it deserves a lot of the shit it got.

That said, Sophie turner is not good.

Yah, she sucks as JEan Grey. She only got the part because she was the most famous redhead at the time.

Not a fan but don't see why she sucks. Can someone give me specifics?

Her delivery is wooden and she is noticeably trying harder than her peers.
She can't act.

Yeah, I mean I've definitely seen worse, but she can't deliver on a character like this. Its less noticeable in GoT because of the nature of the character and her cadence but its still there.

Shes fine. A bit wooden. Plays well for jean grey who is also a bit wooden. Perfect casting really.

It's never perfect casting to hire somebody who looks good but can't act if they are playing the lead. You always need an actress with talent to convey the essence of the character, no matter what the character's attributes are. Nobody wants to watch something wooden. Having somebody who is completely out of their depth just makes it obvious that she was cast for her looks and commercial value above her ability.

Emilia Clarke is so tremendously bad in GOT that Sophie Turner looked fine, especially as it's a huge ensemble cast with varying degrees of ability. Also she was growing up so a lot of leeway was given.
She's a knockout but she can't act for shit. I thought Emilia Clarke was bad but Sophie Turner is truly dreadful.

She aight.

If she gets her red squirrel out she might just get the nut

Yeah, I'll like her if her sweater muffins pop out. Otherwise, hard no.

Is she full chested? I cant honestly remember ever checking her out

Nice enough mounds, actually.

Fo a white girl.

She aight. I'd date.

Agree with everything except for her being a knockout. I don't really find her attractive and I'm pretty positive she looks terrible without make-up.

Well, she DOES look good here.

That pic Kalyx posted is working for me

Is or isn't?

Is. Honey be fine

Delayed til June.

lol

I thought Apocalypse was alright. Not brilliant, but I could watch it again.

I did rewatch it.

Aside from terrible looking Apocalypse I liked it.

I mean, if it's possible to make Thanos look exactly like in the comics, it should be possible to do Apocalypse justice as well.

Thought Apocalypse was boring. Definitely a giant fall from DOFP, which is my fave X-Men movie in this series, followed by X2. Logan is their best but I consider that more of a spinoff.

Anyways, I'm not excited for this for reasons mentioned. They're just jumping right to a story they already told instead of doing something new. I do hope it's good tho so we'll see.

meh this seems like every other x-men film. It's a bit tiring now. and it's hard for me to take this seriously when I am a huge x-men comic fan and the Dark Phoenix storyline had the Hellfire Club and Shi'ar involved. Let's get the series over to the MCU.

Fox just changed their entire 2019 line up to add a Deadpool movie in december 2018 pushing this back to june. The deadpool film looks to be a pg cut of deadpool 2 to appease the mouse overlords. (Which should he hilarious)

Wait, Shirley you're not serious?

100%

Ive read pg13 in some places but either way the deadpool 2 will release in december and has pushed back 5 films to accommodate

Decent looking poster. Still not really interested in this film, the X-Men franchise has become so convoluted and confusing, there's at least three different timeline versions of Wolverine, it's like canon has gone out the window and it's just about bringing big comic arcs to life.

Still... they've always made for great posters.

Putting her in Fanke's Dark Phoenix attire is at once touching and kinda baffling.

Btw there's nothing at all confusing about FoX-Men's timeline. Like at all.

This is going to be awful

Trailer looked fucking amazing when I went to see Alita.

I mean, that’s great and all, but we’re talking about the comics. Which have jumped a plethora of sharks at this point.

No he was talking about the movies.

Looks much better

Still doesn't really do anything for me.

Also, their costumes look like shit. What happened to the awesome comic versions from the end of Apocalypse?

Havent they made this movie already? This feels like a remake.

At the very least it will prob be a better Dark Phoenix story than X3

Does look pretty good. But my thoughts on the X-Men franchise are still the same.

Looks gash

Looks neat. But it just doesn't feel the same without our metal-clawed friend.

Meh. Apocalypse bored the fuck out of me. Think they may have peaked with days of future past.

I don't feel any need to see this film, at least in the cinema; probably rent it online, unless I'm particularly bored one weekend in June.

Because wet clothes are unpleasant.

Then she could stop it from raining

"Somebody I know died, but I'm not letting that sour my prada."

Must have rain in all funeral scenes in movies, it's like nature crying

It rains because you're sad, baby

Great film. My favourite bit is moments after that when Steven Seagal sticks a knife through his head.

What character is Jessica Chastain playing? I honestly have no clue.

Possibly a Shi'Ar representative.

Emma Frost maybe?

She could be a physical manifestation of the Phoenix force that only Jean can see.

She's playing Jean Grey's father, Earl Grey

I think she's playing Sasha Grey.

Put a water bottle
in her gash

The Google results for that show terrible things

Apparently her character is called smith, though that’s probably a placeholder or an alias she uses in the film. Chastain revealed the character is from off world, so my money is on Shi’ar. Maybe Deathbird.

I hope you're right because if she turns out to be some nobody, than this will be a monumental bullshit movie.

I already think this movie might be a money grab.

A cash grab?! From a Hollywood film studio?! Say it aint so, Joe!

Frost already came and gone in this timeline.

Fucking heroic, compassionate Mystique makes me cringe every time as well. Fucking awful. Why not have Sabertooth singing showtunes while you're at it?

It's strange since there's a multitude of female X-Men who could have had all her character arcs in the First Class era (except in Days when Raven's mutation was very important to the plot).

It seems like after First Class she was certainly supposed to turn into a villain.... but because she is JLaw, they turned her abrupt face

Still better than Rebecca Lettuce

An in depth movie of Jean becoming Phoenix would have been way better than her becoming Dark Phoenix. If you're basing it off the comics.

I'd much rather have Rebecca playing the character badly as a villain, than Lawrence's soft, goody two shoes cunt.

At this point, it may as well be a completely different character.

Yeah fair enough

Saw it on HBO: GO


X-women line was soooo eye-rolling especially since everyone was just working as a team beforehand.

Yes it was a very displeased line.
