Except that mutant doing all of that stuff.

That's very vague. Nothing that'll add anything to the film it's attached to.

Spoiler

God Bless people like Patrick Stewart & Hugh Jackman (X:Men Origins - Wolverine), along with Kelsey Grammar, Famke Jansen and James Marsden (X:Men - DOFP).

RARELY, and I mean RARELY do I see BIG-TIME box office stars who are willing to stop by and lend their presence to a film, even if it's for a casual walk by (Beast) or a surprise entrance at the end of a film, (as Professor X did in Origins).

This kind of thing adds SO MUCH to a movie, and most of the time the stars won't lend their name or time to do it without a huge payday.

The cast seem to really love the characters and the franchise.

[Serpico Jones]

I absolutely loved it. It's the best X-Men film ever made, it's one of the best comic book films of all time and it's also the best Terminator movie since T2.

 

[JP]

I get what you're trying to say, but I simple see no difference.

 

[AF3619]

I really liked it, loved young Xavier,Magneto and Quicksilver´s scenes 9/10

I haven't been this excited for a movie since probably TDK.

Finally, an X-Men movie on par with X2: X-Men United and as good as The Avengers and The Dark Knight. I couldn't wait until tomorrow to see this and went after work. It was everything I wanted it to be. I loved everything about it: the musical cues from X2, all the details that called back the other films, the acting, the story... everything. It was definitely the best film of the year, edging Captain America: The Winter Soldier. My only complaint is that I wish there was a bit more action in the future and more future scenes. I actually think they should not have cut the Rogue sequence. I also wish it would have been in IMAX. Overall, it's like a 9.8/10 for me. It would have been a perfect 10 if it had a bit more action and some more power displays from the cast, but overall it was amazing despite that.

So Michael Buckley, one of the biggest YouTube personalities, tweeted early that he was going to see DoFP even thigh he hasn't seen a single film in this series!

He just tweeted that he thought it was awesome! Wow.

Hahaha! I wonder what his thoughts on X3 are going to be like if he gets around to watching it.

Oh man!

But this shows how well the marketing has been + how great word of mouth must be. Someone who has never seen a film in the series felt compelled to see this one and loved it. It's just making me really happy.

 

[kedrell]

I get what you're trying to say, but I simple see no difference.

The difference is that you could put that Apocalypse stinger after ANY of the previous 6 films in the franchise and it wouldn't matter(you can't do that with the Marvel/Disney stingers. They are specific and they pertain to the film you just saw and usually to a larger story going on) because they are just doing small self contained stories. There is no bigger picture with Fox's X-Men franchise so far. Which flies in the face of everything they've said they wanted to do in getting their own X-Men/FF Cinematic Universe going. That's what those end credits things are for(as well as fan service). This one is nothing but fan service and zero story/universe building and I find that to be a missed opportunity.

I agree. Hopefully this gets some people who may have passed on the other films to give them a chance if they end up loving DoFP.

My mom, hopefully.

The only movie she's seen in its entirety is The Wolverine. Which she enjoyed.

She's seen parts of X2 when its been on TV. We were over one night, and X1 was on. She told us she'd seen that one. We said, "No, that was the second one."

She says, "Oh, well then I think I saw the first one too". We gave up trying to explain that just because the second one was on TV all the time, it didn't mean that meant she'd seen the first one too...

So, she's coming with us tomorrow.

Yeah, sorry. I still don't see it.

Zero universe building?? It's there because the next film is involving Apocalypse.

Except they've already announced Apocalypse as the next film.

Hence, Apocalypse in the end credits stinger.

Ok, maybe 'universe building' is the wrong choice of words. But it's not building a larger story and that's the point I was getting at.

 

[marvelrobbins]

The post credit scene Is prologue of X-Men:Apocalypse.

By bigger picture I mean a bigger story that is being told. This stinger has NOTHING to do with the events that just went on in DoFP.

I see your point but we don't quite know what Fox's plans are yet. They want to make an X-Force film and for all we know Cable might appear in Apocalypse to lead into the Force movie. It's too early to say what Fox's plans are for X-Force but I can easily see them bringing them together with some of the X-men at some point.

That is, if you're comparing it to the character building that the MCU is doing.
