Agreed.

As far the movie goes, here is what i think could happen, and how it will ultimately tie in to Wolverine's (Hugh Jackman's) final movie next year.

I have a feeling that the only way Apocalypse will be defeated is if the X-Men trigger "Phoenix" within Jean Grey and unleash her. In terms of power, Phoenix is pretty much the only mutant capable of defeating Apocalypse (if I understand correctly).

However - in their desperation to prevent Apocalypse from destroying the world and turning to "Phoenix" in the process, the X-Men awaken a new beast......which leads to the next movie in 2017.

Wolverine does his best to stop Phoenix but past memories of him killing the original "Phoenix" gets to him and so in the 'heat of the moment', Wolverine doesn't have the heart to kill Phoenix (Jean Grey) again and so this time around, Wolverine is the one that jobs.

At this point, Eric and Charles are working together now in an effort to stop Phoenix. No one can stop Phoenix, but they realize that there is a mutant out there that has the potential to stop Phoenix...........and his name is Gambit. That's where the movie ends.

Sounds good, all the way until it turns out the only person who can stop Phoenix is Gambit.

Nevermind the news, but fuck's sake, why is Sophie Turner dressed like for Game of Thrones here? I just don't see her as Jean Grey.

Still better than if let's say, Jubilee was in the first movie and then the actress would go on to be an Academy Award winning superstar.

Just imagine a Jubilee-centered X-Men franchise.

I'm the exact same way. I loved X-Men 3 as well, and I'm almost certain that I'll love Apocalypse as well.


I still predict that Jean Grey will be the one to kill Apocalypse, or be responsible for putting him back in the tomb. Jean Grey/Phoenix is the only mutant powerful enough to defeat a God.


In terms of Wolverine/Hugh Jackman only being in one more movie after this, Marvel has to find a logical way to discontinue/kill off Wolverine, and that's where I think Phoenix will come in.


I've heard rumors that in a future movie, Channing Tatum will play the role of Gambit (which is why I originally thought/felt that Gambit would eventually play a large role in defeating Phoenix), but I also agree with Fignuts/Rammstein that the mediocre Gambit defeating Phoenix would be quite anti-climatic.


Will be interesting to see what happens.

Discovering whether a movie appeals to me or not I consider a part of the experience. Not watching a movie based on some guy's opinion is way odd to me.

Well I don't read too many critic reviews, but just for example, I didn't see one critic review preview-blurb-thing about Civil War that said it was amazing... they all said it was not nearly as good as previous films... yet every fan review I came across said it was the best marvel movie yet.... I just think the majority of critics have their heads far up their own asses and don't want to admit when some movies are good.

That's my point though, You need to find critics that have similar tastes. Reading random critic reviews isnt a very good way to go about it. But when you find a guy thats likes most of the same things you do for similar reasons you can trust that review to vet a film you arent very sure on. For example I'm on the fence about Suicide Squad. I'll wait till the reviews drop and see if I should risk it.


And, to be fair, if I see most critics rating a summer blockbuster super hero flick in the 7-10 range (or like...75ish and up on Meta critic) I can be pretty confident its worth my money to see for myself.


I'm looking to see whether or not I should wait for Free TV or not. I'm most likely going to see these things at some point, but I'm really glad I had critics to tell me to wait on Wolverine, DB:E and the FF movies.

Yeah I've never cared about critics' reviews. It's fun to see films I like getting praise (I'm absolutely loving all the acclaim Civil War is getting right now), but ultimately I judge films by my own interests. They either appeal to me or they don't.

By default though, I typically see every comic book film in the cinema, even if they got shitty reviews. Despite the panning it got, I enjoyed Dawn of Justice, and loved Civil War, but then, I also enjoyed Street Fighter, Daredevil, Spider-Man 3, Punisher Warzone and a shit-load of other films that I probably shouldn't.

It's a fun indicator of people's opinions, but the fact there are professional "critics" is ludacrous to me, since everyone enjoys different things. It's not different than reading the review of some random guy on Amazon.

With that said, I couldn't care less if X-Men got universally panned, I still think it looks awesome and I still know that I'm gonna love it (loved all the others).

Yeah I just like seeing these kinds of movies. I'm not blind to potential flaws, but I'd hardly ever say I pissed away cash or anything. My value is paramount, not 'some guy'.

No I'm not one to play with my money.

This is about subjective value in a movie. None of us spends money worse than the other. Do you.

And that's the thing. A negative review from some critic won't scare me away from watching a movie I want to watch.

But it works the other way. Some movies just go over my head, I don't even acknowledge them, but then I read all about them, how critics love them and whatnot and I decide to watch them.

So in short, critics can't discourage me from seeing what I want, but they can encourage me to watch what I wouldn't even consider.

I am drunk, I hope what I meant to say is clear.

I take what critics have to say with the same amount of seriousness I take what fans have to say. So essentially if one critic says it's crap I'm not really phased, but when a bunch of them start saying it I'm gonna start thinking twice. If fans also start panning it too I'm gonna give it a pass like I would pretty much any other movie. Like Destor has said, my money is important to me. I don't have an extra 12 bucks to blow every time I go to the movies just to see if I might like something. I have to be very picky about what I spend on, and critics (along with fan reviews) help me do that.
