Apocalypse Spoilers alert for the X-Men Apocalypse Spoilers Thread!

They could have introduced Nina as Lorna and have her use the locket to kill the police taking Erik away or have her magnetic powers manifest and people think it's Magneto and blow their cover, instead of Erik actually doing it.
 
God, I was happy that they didn't waste Polaris for just 1 to 2 scenes!
 
We see Apocalypse turn the whole Cairo into sand to build a pyramid with his bare hands, yet he needs Magneto to decimate the world? What's with that?

Because the film for the most part is poorly written with no attention given to logic.
 
magneto is doing it because apocalypse is going through the transference. he is basically defenseless during it as we see in the opening of the movie. also, apocalypse hates technology. he wants to wipe every sign of human progress from the face of the world and who better to do it then a mutant that controls metal. he wants them to be an active part of his change of the world.

i think apocalypse was somewhat shocked to discover so many mutants on earth when he wakes up - clearly a consequence of the atomic age. in the opening scene the people who betray him are humans - they don't want a false god. i fell he basically picked the first mutants he found plus erik who was the militant face for mutants in this century.
 
I'd say Apocalypse. Doomsday could feed off energy and made those explosions, but Pocky was considered a God.

Was Apocalypse really that powerful? I mean comparing him to Doomsday, who I felt was extremely powerful in BvS.
 
Anyone know why the TV spots are using footage that's not even in the film?
 
it's done all the time. nothing new. star wars did the same thing. used different takes of the same scene and so forth.

That happens to literally every movie ever made. There is different cuts of the movie, but they never know what the end result is going to look like.
 
Not generally. Nina can be a full name, also short for Nikolina, Christina, at times Katharina, Marina, ...
 
Just watched the entire Quicksilver sequence on YouTube. So good :funny:
 
there are already torrents of a cam version of the movie online

Same with every film. It isn't some sort of shock or surprise, or unique to XM:A.

I saw links to Civil War being posted all over Facebook comments sections.

Just a sad state of the internet that no one wants to pay for anything any more.
 
Ok I just saw the movie and idk if it was because my hopes were so low I wasn't expecting much but it was really an amazing movie.
Storm: was my only disappointment because after she was recruited she really did nothing, she watched in rubble while both sides battled she could have done something. Her recruitment scene in Egypt was amazing though I loved it, and I feel the reason why Mystique was in Raven form around them is when Apocalypse took Xavier if she would've saw Mystique outright it may have made her switch sides earlier though she did nothing after that point. Shipp killed what little she had an the accent was superb I mean perfection.
Mystique: I enjoyed her in this movie even the ending in the danger room I thought she did a good job this go around.
Psylocke: though she didn't have much to say she was just uber bad ass, I loved the different ways she used her powers so creatively the whip was my favorite part. That look she gave them at the end though, a part of me feels like she will be the one to take the White Queens place in helping to warp Jeans mind after all she saw what Jean did.
Jubilee: ugh such a complete waste to even introduce her in this movie.
Cyclops: I love his bad boy persona and how he wasn't the squeaky clean boy scout he was edgy and I loved it. Tye delivered
Nightcrawler: my second favor was great again seeing him back on the big screen his fights with Angel were awesome can't wait to see him again.
Quicksilver: great as always I loved his special house exploding scene it was very well done. I'm hoping him and Storm get together in this universe
Beast: I actually liked him in this movie though he still seems far from the version I'm used to.
Prof X and Magneto were perfection in their roles though I honestly wanted to skip over Mags screentime, they still were awesome in those roles,still hoping we get a break from Mags after this film.
Jean: OMG when I saw the Pheonix effect when Charles said let go, I got tears in my eyes. It was such an amazing shot and so amazing to finally see the firebird in all its glory. She wrecked Apocalypse. I'm so glad Jean wasn't the weakling this movie now this is how Pheonix should be handled.

All in all a great movie but I can see the flaws in it, still excited for the next movie though. I did want more with the new costumes it was so quick and we didn't really see much.

Edit: That opening sequence though was great I felt the movie went so quickly though I was so into it I didn't feel it dragged on.

2 questions.

1)Who were the 4 horsemen at the start of the movie ? Are they well-known mutants ?

2)Magneto's daughter....... what do you think her mutant powers actually were ?

1) Homage to the Fantastic Four.

2) Dying to give her father a storyline. :o

Lol I don't think it was that with number 1 lol, I never seem Human Torch create fire snakes like that, I did like the women horsemans powers though I don't recall seeing either Reed or the Thing.

It seems they are pushing a lot of material that's not even in the final cut.

I guess you've never seen other movie trailers or tv spots before that show a lot of footage that never ends up being in the film?
 
wow, I really enjoyed this. Probably enjoyed it more than I should have. it had its flaws, but I pretty much got everything I wanted to see. Loved the Scott and Jean stuff, was great to see the kids take down apocalypse. It was great to see Cyclops actually treated with the respect he deserves, Tye did an awesome job.

That ending gave me goosebumps, I can't wait to see the team in action in the 90's. I'll definitely be seeing it in theaters when it releases in the US.
