I've read all the comics and such as well. It's not like the movie is going to follow them verbatim frame by frame, seeing some of the scenes or effects for the first time in the theater instead of the trailer would still be nice.

The movie is only very loosely based on the comics.

Kinda off-topic, but the timing of this could hurt the movie. Not sure what to think, but who knows. |

Are there now two movie versions of Quicksilver? The one that appears in this movie, and Avengers 2 version?

I actually liked it better than First Class. Quicksilver's character alone made it worth the price of admission for me.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.

Really ? Trailers make him look like a douchenozzle, but I've always really liked the Actor - he does good work on those horror story shows, despite, er, being on those horror story shows.

From what I hear the movie is ok if you ignore all the ridiculous explanations and suspend your disbelief a lot.

It's a fucking superhero movie. That goes without saying.

The genre of a film should not be an excuse for lack of quality.
However, if this movie manages to fix the train wrecks that came after X-2, I'll ignore all other defects and call it a success.

That's my stance on it as well. If it fixes and erases that third X-men movie, then it's all good! |

Just saw this. Enjoyable movie but I still like First Class better. Always liked Singer as a director and I appreciated the hoops the story jumped thru to make the X-Men universe somewhat coherent.
It's interesting to me that the movie universes is a jumbled mess! That's staying very faithful to the comics IMO.
Halle Berry had like two lines. You can see her star fading right there on the screen.

I just saw the movie and as an Xmen fan growing up as a young lad, I absolutely loved it. This was the kind of Xmen movie I have been waiting for since they started bringing it to the silver screen. Also I loved the stinger... its a must stay to see.

Yes. The post-credit sequence is necessary.

Saw this Friday night and loved it. They did a good job with everything and it didn't make me scratch my head going "why would that have happened?" Yes. The post-credit sequence is necessary.
Yeah, someone's going to need to explain that to me. I've been out of active fandom long enough and apparently don't remember enough to get what's happening there. |

Good flick, was happy to have gone and seen it and happier at the last 5 mins. Nice wrap-up.
That Quicksilver scene. Amazing. I particularly like the subtle use of the physics of his speed.

I'll have to rewatch the previous X-men movie incantations, but I thought this was the best X-men ever.
I was skeptical about the the dude playing young Professor X, but he excelled in the role and enjoyed the telepathic sequences.

I really liked this - the Quicksilver scene was worth the price of admission alone. The only complaint I have, and this is as someone who really stopped following the comics 20+ years ago is that the powers of Wolverine and Magneto specifically seemed like they were really too powerful. I don't remember Wolverine being able to heal from pretty much ANYTHING being done to him and Magneto seemed too powerful to me. I also wondered the same thing Abagadro did: Best part? They basically wiped out X-Men 3 from ever happening and that's fantastic. |

When Wolverine lost his metal in the comics, his healing factor skyrocketed.
He even reattached his own legs or something daft like that.
Maybe something similar there ?
Magneto's always been mentally powerful tho. Insanely.
