Thoughts on our first look at the new X-Men movie, and the last of the X-Men proper franchise? Do you think it'll follow the source material closer this time? It looks much darker in tone to me as well |

i really hope it comes close to the source material as that what they were going for on this movie, i think it will be one of the better ones, but only time will tell, and will be seen it. | ||

Found it boring. Typical movie schlock. Nothing compared to the depth and intrigue that the X-Men franchise has to offer. This also is not surprising at all. Movies pumped out from beginning to end in a 2 year time period are usually very poor. |

The trailer looks quite a bit difference. X-men 98-101 plus X-Men 129-137 is the source material. Where is the Shi'ar Empire? Is the blonde actress supposed to be Lilandra Neramani? The Hellfire Club played a pivotal role in transforming Phoenix into the Dark Phoenix. Will they appear? |

@Despain Good points brought up. I saw the trailer last night, I think on Jimmy Fallon's show. I am not feeling it. But, I really want to. I will watch it again a couple times and maybe I will warm up to it. The actress who played Jean Grey was on the talk show. Cannot remember because I am sick and not thinking right. I am out. | ||

Pictures? We don't need no stinking pictures. | brysb private msg quote post Address this user | |
I assume the blonde actress is supposed to be White Queen. | ||

@BrianGreensnips Thanks. Hope you feel better. I just recovered from the flu about two weeks ago. @brysb So, Emma Frost? I looked on IMDb, and it said the character's name is Smith. Maybe they want to keep the character's identity a secret for now and gave her the generic name "Smith" on the casting list. I don't know. I feel that in order to do a proper Phoenix film, they need the Shi'ar Empire and the Hellfire Club. |

I doubt we will ever see The Dark Phoenix saga done true to the Claremont/Byrne vision. | ||

Remember X-Men: Apocalypse? It had a better trailer... I am underwhelmed |

I too am underwhelmed and I am afraid they are taking bits and pieces from other stories and trying to shoehorn them into this story. They could take 2 or three movies to tell this story, it is going to be difficult to tell the "saga" in just 2 hours and do the characters any kind of justice. | ||

I swore no more comics, then this happened. | PaulPop private msg quote post Address this user | |
Has an X-men movie ever been made that came close to the source material? The last straw for me was Days of Future Past. I have yet to see a good X-men movie. There, I said it. |

If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8. | xkonk private msg quote post Address this user | |
There isn't some obvious overlap between 'good movies' and 'movies that perfectly follow the source material'. Like @PaulPop said, none of the X-Men movies have been that close to any particular storyline. But if you think that X-Men, X-2, First Class, or Logan were bad movies, you're in the minority. People liked Days of Future Past too. All that said, Apocalypse certainly left something to be desired. I hope Dark Phoenix is a turn back in the right direction. If it is, it'll have little to do with how well it copies the comic storyline. |

I wasn't wild about the Dark Phoenix storyline. They can do what they want. All have been okay. Wish they'd have chosen someone else for Jean Grey. It's another situation where I don't want to look at the actress they picked for 2hrs. | ||

My reaction is the same as it always is... “Please don’t suck... Please don’t suck...” I particularly like Dark Phoenix (exhibit a... commission below currently getting signed by Stan and then graded as art) so I REALLY hope they don’t mess it up. It doesn’t have to be exactly to source material, but it just needs to not suck whichever way they go with it |
