It's impressive how bad XMen Apocalypse was

It's entirely inoffensive.
Nothing in the movie bothers me...it's just incredibly safe and bland.

It was not as bad as The Last Jedi, but the effect was the same.

Just like Star Wars, I really have no further interest in X Men.

It’s only saving grace is that it introduces Jean as the dark Phoenix. Let’s see if that movie delivers though

And then shits on that theory in the new movie by saying the Dark Phoenix is a cosmic force that finds a home inside Jean. They honestly have no idea what the word continuity means....

It's been a while but I believe this is the case in the comics

In the comics she is just hit by solar flares and it unleashes her powers. I think they said this Phoenix is a separate entity. I could be wrong.

And, frankly, I was pretty much here after X3 (just awful). I still haven't seen First Class, so I'll give that one a pass on the word of Deuce Midnight.

But, other than that - I've been done with X-Men.

Yeah, they retconned that ridiculous story some time back, but I pretend that didn't happen.

(Real) Dark Phoenix saga, you know "back in the day" was some of the best comics ever. All the tweaking and retconning since is silly.

It's a shame, because this dude was one of the best characters of the 90s

It’s a waste on so many levels.

Apocalypse the character. Oscar Isaacs acting. McAvoy. Fassbender. The shoehorned Phoenix Powers. Quicksilver.

Total trash movie on par with X3, but without Hugh Jackman to carry the clusterfrick.

And fox will doubly down with this ungodly horrible looking Dark Phoenix. I’m glad they lost all the rights to the X-men titles.

The first two X-men movies were solid and Logan stands as one of the best superhero movies ever written and filmed. Anytime they tried to go big though was a huge swing and a miss.

You turned it off 5 minutes in before the credits even rolled?

Sophie Turner is bland as frick, this new X-men is going to blow too. No point in going see it with Disney throwing everything out and starting over.

Deuce keeps telling me that. I'll probably give it a watch at some point.
