Finally saw a good enough stream. Movie wasn't bad. There was just nothing good about it at all. Mostly boring and uninteresting. I have no interest in the future of these films. If DOFP is the high point, then I have no hopes anymore.
These cbm's need to stop having these prequel settings in the beginning of the movies. I was more interested in Apocalypse's world before all the present **** happened. Felt the same way with Ant-Man and especially MOS.
Apocalypse was a waste. Bruh did nothing but talk. If you got kids beating apocalypse, imagine what they gon do as adults. No foe gon stop em at all
Felt like this movie was been there done that. Quicksilver scene was ok, but we already saw it. Wolverine going berserk was cool, but we saw it. Didn't gain anything by seeing that scene.
Thematically speaking, they need to move on. I understand that it's pretty much what the X-men is all about. But there needs to be more than only humans not understanding/hating mutants. It can be a theme that resonates throughout everything that happens throughout a movie, but it needs to no longer be the main thing. Like Trask creating Sentinels due to his fear of mutants cool, but we don't need to hear constant dialogue from Charles / Xavier about how he sees the good in people and how Magneto doesn't. We get it. It's their ideology. At this point, show, don't tell.
The progression of Mystique and Magneto is bothering me a bit. Especially Magneto. It is my understanding that although the timeline is erased, he will grow into the Magneto we saw in X1. Not the exact him, but a version of him. It seems like although they changed the timeline, the path is still inevitable, seeing how Wolverine still managed getting captured. Magneto is still going to grow into who we know him as. If killing his family doesn't do it, it's like what will then? I don't know what else more can happen to him to turn him fully evil. Mystique as well. Like, the progression is a problem for me.
Other than that, I can't think of anything else to say. This movie is forgettable. Even more then BVS. BVS had parts that stood out that you will remember once their universe launches fully. This one, I can't say, aside from the credits scene. I think I officially have X-Men fatigue. There needs to be a hard reboot for this franchise to recover.
