X-Men: Apocalypse - May 27, 2016

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Singer has done really well here thus far IMO. The worst of his films was the first, so he's only gotten better. I do think it's true that there is a certain approach to these films that you can predict somewhat, just like you more or less know what you're getting with the Marvel Studios stuff. Here--good acting, heavy drama, mutants fighting mutants mostly, crummy outfits, some thinly veiled representations of homophobia/racism, probably a pretty major focus on J-Law, Fass, and McAvoy. If that's not your thing, then this probably won't work. Works for me. I'm more excited for this than Iron Man 6. . .er, Civil War.

He's getting better at costumes though. For this Apocalypse and his horsemen all look quite accurate.

I swear to Christ if they don't make a semi-decent figure line from this one...

He looks like Ronin there.

I'm not going to watch these leaked half-assed trailers anymore. I'll reserve judgement for the officially released ones

Do they?

 

[Devil_666]

Man, Apocalypse looks like ****. Purple ass midget, power ranger looking ass.

 

[jye4ever]

I'm going to kick ass and ask questions later

[Devil_666]

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Psyclocke is wearing a thongkini thing with straps around her legs. Archangel has metal wings and the black costume with sharp silver patterns. Apoc is wearing his blue armour with the big collar, ?Storm her black 80s look and Magneto looks to have a reddishurplish armour

Psylocke I agree, but the others are a stretch. Sharing color similarities and such is not the same as looking quite accurate. Archangel alone is a terrible attempt. Would it have been so hard to at least give him blue skin?

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Does Apocalypse have the lines that connect to his lips? I can't tell from the trailer, and that's a very distinctive feature.

I understand the complaints about Apocalypse, but I think he looks as good as he possibly can since they're not going full CGI with him like they did Thanos. The reason his face looks off is because it's Oscar Isaac playing him, facially the guy looks nothing like Apocalypse, he has a pretty huge nose, Apocalypse barely has a nose

Still, I'll take practical over CGI any day, I look forward to Isaac actually giving a real performance.

The Horsemen look great though, aside from Angel not having his blue skin I can't see how anyone can be disappointed with those suits and designs.

They've been shooting for 5 weeks, the footage they showed looked pretty good to me considering they still have a long way to go before they finish filming.

Psylocke I agree, but the others are a stretch. Sharing color similarities and such is not the same as looking quite accurate. Archangel alone is a terrible attempt. Would it have been so hard to at least give him blue skin?

His costume is quite accurate to X-Force version, minus the headgear

It's s shame he isn't blue but I guess with so many blue mutants in the franchise they decided to leave that part out.

 

[Biojex]

There are a lot of blue mutants aren't there

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Three others in this movie alone

Does Apocalypse have the lines that connect to his lips? I can't tell from the trailer, and that's a very distinctive feature.

From the teaser poster it looks like it

 

[MegaPrime33]

I think a characters voice is sometimes more important than his look, and once again, I am disappointed with how they portrayed this particular villain; same with Thanos, and same with Ultron. Apocalypse needs to be bigger, beefier, taller, surely they could have done something practical to make that happen. Anyway, its just a teaser trailer, we'll see what it looks like when more footage is released.

 

[jye4ever]

Oscar Isaac is 5'9", he looks ridiculous standing there trying to look all menacing.

If they go bigger with the armor he will look even sillier.

Hope he lives up to his acting reputation.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

The best Apocalypse I've seen wasn't even Apocalypse, it was Ronan the Accuser in GOTG. He had the body, the look, and the voice. He even had the lines on his face that connect to his mouth.

 

[jye4ever]

Ronan actor would've been a better Apoc, but instead he was wasted on a dance off.

Hell, the girl playing Captain Phasma would've been better.

I can't defend the designs that Singer uses here, but I'm not going into an X-Men film hoping to get cosmetically comic accurate superheroes and villains. If that was the case, I would be disappointed every damn time. It used to bug me. I still hate it that we never saw Wolverine wear a mask, but I've come to accept it after 15 years or so

Zach Snyder will give us the most awesome looking comic characters come to life that you're likely to see at the movies, but chances are his movie will be superficial and inappropriate. Pick your poison!
