What are people complaining about though? Pacing, story, characters?
 
Nothing they haven't said much really.

No they started working on Spider-Man 4, raimi wanted time to work on the script and Sony wouldn't allow it so he left and then they decided to reboot, they did storyboards and script outlines so yeah sony were willing, they just wanted it their way though.
you're actually both right... yes sony/raimi went to work on spidey 4.. but when sam was ready to abandon ship, he pushed the studio for the reboot
 
Schnepp seems raring to go about Apoc.

There's also a refreshing amount of women compared to the CW premier. It didn't stick out to me then but looking the X-Men one, Olsen looked a little alone. Paul Bettany is just gigantic though.
 
meh, if it sucks it sucks. the only thing im not looking forward to is reading more "revert the rights!" ****posts like marvel studios has some kind of flawless track record. if it sucks singer probably wont be back and im sure theres some young talented director who wants a shot at the franchise.

except most arn't saying marvel is flawless.. they just have a much better track record with their own properties than other studios do handling them.
 
I'm more worried that kinberg will stay as writter though.

Raring?
 
Ughhhh not the "critics suck! I can make my own opinion" :facepalm: I didn't have to use that for X1, X2, First Class or DOFP because those were great movies and got great reception from critics. Of course I'll make my own opinion when I watch it but I'm also not gonna be in complete denial if the reviews are bad.

Only an hour to go, let's hope for the best.
 
Oh man, Apocalypse better be getting good reviews or soon enough it'll be the end of the world in this section.

Well Marvel has an amazing track record, better than Fox overall. But the X-Men franchise has a great track record as well, only one awful movie in 16 years(Origins). Their other weak movie is around the same level as Thor TDW while the rest range from pretty good to fantastic.

/sign this.

Of course everybody can and should form his own opinion, but critics are a great indicator (if yopu don't believe me, just research it) for the reception of the general audience, which we are a part of.
Good reviews -> likely a good audience reaction -> all da money
bad reviews -> likely a bad audience reaction -> poor singer

THIS. I also form my own opinion, but if most critics hate it that wont be coming from any conspiracy or Singer hate or whatever.
 
Fox wouldn't be letting the cat out of the bag this early if they expected this to get widely panned.

Remember the wild gymnastics they went through to hide FF?
 
What are you guys gonna look up first?

Video Reviews? Twitter Reactions? Or Written Online Reviews?
