True. But at least Wade Wilson had the snarky attitude before his turn into Deadpool. The creation story took a lot of liberty though.
Rogue and Gambit aren't even the same people.

The reviews are fantastic.
They are running at an extremely high 91% favorable on Rotten Tomatoes so far after 89 reviews.
Going tomorrow night. I can't wait...

Up to 92% on Rotten Tomatoes after 116 reviews which is really high for a genre movie.
It is also starting out strong on IMDB at a solid 8.9 after 14k votes.
It looks like they nailed this.

Fan-fracking-tastic movie. Movie could have been three hours long and would have been great. All comic book movies should follow a similar formula.
Only one encore scene and that comes after the credits. I need to research what it was about (no spoilers).
The only thing missing from the movie was Anna Paquin. Needed some Paquin.

Saw it, Anna Pacquin was in there at the end. Good movie, the after credits trailer was cool as well.

I heard Singer chopped a lot to get it to this time frame. If this proves popular I bet we will see some sort of extended edition on Blu Ray.

I didn't want to say it as it is a spoiler. But, needed more Paquin in the Rogue uniform. More Rogue.
I guess it depends what was chopped. I think the action was spot on. Enough dialogue but the story could have lasted another 20-30 and I'd be cool with that. Just wanted more.

Can someone tell me if this is too violent for children? I bought my 5 yr old to his first superhero movie last week (Amazing Spiderman 2) and I thought that movie was fairly safe but I know the last XMen movie seemed too violent for children to me (shooting, Wolverine stabbing people, etc). Might have to skip this one especially if the director is in the theater.

Saw it last night. I usually don't gee movies in 3D unless they truly call for it. I was actually glad I did. Quicksilver's scene is worth the 3d alone.

can you tell us who you`re talking about in a spoiler tag? If i dont know who you are referring to id like to google it so i understand it when i see it ...thank you

Just saw it and it was pretty good.
Brought my 7 year old son and had no issues with content.
What was the extra content though? I didn't stay because I thought only the official Marvel movies did that. Usual, can you throw me a description in a spoiler tag? Gracias.
Also, on a more prurient note -
1. I do not get the love for Jennifer Lawrence. She is not unattractive, but I feel no need to smash.
2. However, the redhead that plays Jean Grey? Would smash hard.
3. And obviously Halle Berry. Who among us hasn't lost layers of skin watching Monster's Ball?

Also, Quicksilver was well done, and quite funny. He was perhaps the sole humorous spot in an otherwise dark movie.

I had to look it up - the character was Apocalypse, when he was in Egypt. It made sense once I knew who it was. I am familiar with Apocalypse from the X-Men cartoon when I was a kid, but I actually thought it was a woman when I saw the profile. 
So I was like "who the #### is this blue skinned woman?"

Quicksilver was Michael Scott's nephew... the one that brought coffee and was spanked. Was bugging me.
Also bugging me was Stryker. He was in The Pacific as one of the marines. Thought hes been around more.

Just got back and really enjoyed it. It stands up to First Class, XM1 and XM2 in quality.
I have not been that entertained by a single scene in a long time as the wonderful Time in a Bottle scene.
Two questions and one comment.
1) First about the ending
2) Second, the after credit scene
3) Comment
Everyone in our theater was also WTF? about the after credits scene and one guy called out "Anyone know what that was?" so I screamed out the answer and people let out a collective "ahhhhhh!" Quite cute.

1) First about the ending
Are we suppose to now believe Logan does not have the metal skeleton because Mystique saved him from Stryker and if so what would that mean to a 3rd Wolverine movie?
This was beautifully shot. The 4 horsemen on the hill in the background representing the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse was very clever imo. I know they are hoping to do an Age of Apocalypse movie. Will that be the younger cast?
Wished they had spent 30 seconds on a quick explanation of how future Charles got his body back beyond the throw away line at the end of The Wolverine. Similarly, a ultra short explanation on how future Logan got his metal claws back would have been helpful, but these are just small nits

Awesome movie. I don't know how they'd manage it, but I'd love for them to continue with the younger cast in that "fixed" timeline. The actors are better across the board. But the issue with that is that every movie would have to be a period piece, in a way. It was awesome seeing it all come together and come full circle in this movie, but I'm just kind of over the Stewart/McKellen/Berry and whoever plays Jean Grey and Scott Summers cast.
Then again, if they're doing an Age of Apocolypse storyline, it kind of HAS to be after that "fixed" future the movie ended in...because the AOA future is way darker than the future they were trying to prevent in this movie, if it happened they wouldn't have recovered to the point they were at the end of the movie...too much changes.
I'd love to see Sinister and that while AOA lineup though.

Also, the integration of both casts was great. It was awesome to see the "old" cast play a role with the "younger" cast. The scene of Professor X is one for the ages, imo.
Needed more Paquin though.

I though it was very good, but only on par with First Class and probably a little below X2 for the series. Not blow away great like some of the reviews make it sound. The Qucksilver part was fantastic, right down to the nod to his paternal bloodlines... the bar is set high there for the Avengers version.

I think the tone of the Marvel Quicksilver is going to be significantly different than the happy go lucky XMen version. They will be so different I think it will be difficult to compare.

Had extremely low expectations for this one and was planning on avoiding it altogether. Kinda surprised by the good reviews...

Planning on seeing this tonight. 2 questions:
1. I read the comics as a kid and teenager, but I only saw the first movie (that was right when my daughters were born and I stopped going to see most movies at that point for a few years). Will I be able to understand what's going on?
2. My wife and 2 daughters (13 and 11) haven't seen any of the movies and know nothing about the X-men. Will they understand what's going on?
Thx

X-Men: Apocalypse is going to be set in the early 80's with the Fassbender/McAvoy cast. Also Channing Tatum has been aready cast as Gambit and after Quicksilver stole the show, producers are aiming for a bigger role for him in the next movie.

Quicksilver is played by Evan Peters. He got the role after Singer saw him in the three seasons of American Horror Story. I'm interested in seeing how quicksilver is going to be handled in next year's Avengers movie since he going to be played by a different actor in Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

Anything you miss won't detract from the enjoyment of the main plot. Also, I was worried my 7 year old wouldn't get all the time-traveling stuff, but he was fine. Admittedly, this might be because he watches enormous amounts of Dr. Who with this mother. A couple words of explanation should do the trick, Tim.

I just remembered one thing for the parents out there -
While the film itself was fine, one of the previews was for We Made a Sex Tape or whatever the hell that film is called with Cameron Diaz and some tool. The whole preview is about this married couple struggling to spice up their sex life, so they film themselves having a 3 hour marathon on their living room floor...which of course, gets accidentally emailed to all their friends and co-workers. Whoever thought this was a good idea for an effing PG-13 movie should be shot. It was clear adult material. Spicing up a married couple's sex life? PG-13? Really?
That was over the top and I was mentally squirming during it. So be warned.

Peters was so awesome in that role. I had no idea who he was, but he stole every scene he was in.

I have a feeling Berry is the Sophia Loren of her generation. Even at 65 she'll still occupy a spot in our spank banks. First ballet HOFer.

Why? First Class was awesome, and they basically just threw that movie together from what I remember reading. This one was bound to be even better.

Is this stuff confirmed? It sounds awesome, if it's all true. Exactly what I wanted. Although Tatum...I haven't seen any of his newer stuff, can he act now?

Not sure why Vaughn didn't stay with the franchise after First Class, but I lost faith in this sequel when they brought Singer on as director.
