X-Men just have just a more mature and serious tone compare to MCU and Spidey films but it doesnt mean they didnt have fun moments.

Agreed 100%. There's a difference between well-timed comic relief and downright kitsch.
 
Compare this film series to Dark Knight trilogy and even Man of Steel....and lets see which franchise took itself too seriously. X-Men just have just a more mature and serious tone compare to MCU and Spidey films but it doesnt mean they didnt have fun moments.

Agreed, for me the X-Men movies strike the perfect balance between humour, drama and emotion. That includes FC and TW as well. The MCU movies have too much and DC Movies don't have enough. It's why, in a very good year for CBMs, DOFP was the best for me. It had a lot humour but damn the emotional moments hit hard.

Reposting this here:

Awesome, so happy they are keeping that, it's one of my favourite powers of his.
 
Good, good. That is accurate. He doesn't just need to be immortal with super strength. I also just found out his blood can heal mutants but can kill humans. I wonder if Singer will add that.

I suspect that was from the Blood of Apocalypse story. In which case, hell no. Such a nonsensical story.
 
That's cool and all, but I really hope this isn't our news for the month.
 
I have a good feeling about this guy. I think he's gonna nail it. ;)

Theyre definitely giving him all the tools

*disaster film points at high Apoc power levels
*he's confirmed body manipulation, and we've seen extreme telekinetic abilities
*four horsemen shown as well.

This could be quite amazing

Exactly. So far everything looks really promising to me. Plus it's good to have an actor who knows about the character and I like what he had said about his view on the character so far. Of course actors do not have that much of an influence on their characters (Halle Berry wanted that scene about Storm's backstory in X3 in the final cut not doubt), but it is another good sign.

Plus this is the first movie since X1 where we have a semi-compelete team of X-Men fighting a major villain with "henchmen". In DOFP and FIRST CLASS we didn't really get X-Men. The team in X2 was split up most of the time and X3, well... And if the power displays from QuickSilver and the characters in the future are any indication, this should be great. ;)
 
Yup.
I'd really love to see Cyclops lead a tactical battle against Apocalypse. The team using their powers together to defend each other attack Apoc and protect citizens. It's a year away at least yikes !!

Its the best of both worlds, another reason why i love the X-Men franchise! Hopefully the Fantastic Four reboot will have a similar tone to the X-Men franchise.

I really hope we get this look for apocalypse
 
Off to see Ex Machina tonight so will be interesting to see what Oscar Issac is like as I'm not sure I've seen him in a major role of a movie before.
 
Oscar Isaac on apocalypse

“After we finish here I’m heading to do a head cast [for ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’], which they do often," Isaac tells Yahoo Movies. "You spend 3-4 hours with them putting plaster all over your head and they get a sense of what your face is like and what shape your head is, so they can start figuring out the costume and the make up and all that stuff, which is pretty fun.”

Isaac also offered some tantalizing details about his costume. “It’ll be a mix [of practical and digital]," Isaac said. "I haven’t had a script so I haven’t had a chance to look through the script and see what the exact requirements are, but I think it’ll be a mixture of physical, aided with some robotic technology.”

Awesome, wondered what they would do with Isaac as he's not the tallest dude, some camera trickery was needed but sounds like he will have a form much like the comics. Dat first picture is going to be :exp:
 
You’ll soon be appearing in X-Men: Apocalypse, too. Now you’re more versed in dealing with fanboys thanks to Star Wars, do you think it helps going into another beloved franchise?
No, not really - the only fanboy I’m interested in is myself [laughs]. I’ve been a fan of Star Wars and particularly of X-Men and Apocalypse the character for a very long time so I’m excited to attack the character and inhabit that space just as someone who’s a big fan.

Are there any comic book villain clichés you’re keen to avoid?
It’s not always helpful to look at things as the villain. With sci-fi and fantasy, the story is actually human. When someone writes about mutants in X-Men, it’s not really about mutants, it’s about us. I’m researching the character and trying to understand what was trying to be expressed when they created this character for Apocalypse, and people’s fear that comes with that, what does that encompass.

Can you reveal more about what makes him tick?
You have to look at why he’s called Apocalypse. Where does the word Apocalypse come from? It doesn’t mean destruction, it means to lift back the curtain – a Greek term. A lot of ideas came for this guy came from the Book of Revelation, the Four Horseman and all that stuff, so it’s interesting.

Did you read many comic books as a kid?
I did. Spawn is one. X-Factor of course another. It was X-Men for a while and then a separate team became X-Factor, which, ironically enough, is also the first appearance of Apocalypse.

****er knows his stuff.
 
The fact he knows it was X-factor that apocalypse first appeared in gives him geek points.

:up: Yep, I am quietly confident the new FF will be a good movie.
 
IN FF postive section there is tweet from guy who caught the Terminator trailer in advance saying he caught FF trailer and said it's much gritter than past films but still has lot of fantastic elements in it and said it looked quite good.

It could be the surprise kind of lite how FC,rise of planet of the apes,and DOFP were.

ANd it sounds like if fox wants to do x-men/ff crossover their new take on ff may work with x-men films.

I hope so, I think Trank is good director and Fox has been doing some great movies lately.

1000% agree wit this.

Also just got back from seeing Isaac in Ex Machina and he was great at playing the reclusive loner who straddled the genius/crazy person line. He has a real dark streak to him that could make Apocolypse something special in the villain world, fingers crossed but cant wait to see what they come up with.
