@@IvanKisaragi That's right, I have no idea why that guy said 13:59 is a pun. It's the only pun Jay uses in the whole video: "Oscar Isaac ain't 'poe' no more!" towards the end
In Moira Mactaggert's defence, her presence as a love interest in X-Men: First Class was rather overshadowed by the intense sexual tension between Erik and Charles.
Why wouldn't you watch it? They recommended it. This entire trilogy (First Class/DOFTP/Apocalypse) are great. The other two are just better because they didn't do the whole "the world is ending" stuff.
Not only does Olivia Munn say nothing throughout the movie, her final scene is her staring at Magneto silently while walking backwards out of the frame.
They joke about Apocalypse wiping out the earth, cleansing humanity, then sitting on a beach watching the sunset. They literally predicted Infinity War.
@@Aedrion- two questions. one for you and one for me. for you: what year did xmen apocalypse come out? for me: how old are you? cuz if you're under 15, i dont wanna waste my time arguing with a child. you'll have plenty of time to learn about stuff from other places rather than the YT comment section.
I found the whole "Apocalypse's magic turns Charles Xavier bald" thing quite silly - like, can any famously bald characters just go bald naturally these days? Young Lex Luthor goes bald in BVS because of Kyrptonite poisoning or something (which I know has been done in some comic storylines, but still). It's like baldness can only happen in films by some crazy freak accident. I guarantee you that if JJ Abrams reboots the Next Generation as a trilogy of movies, young Captain Picard is going to lose all his hair in some freak space accident that drives the plot forward.
"I loved it in a way where Bryan Singer thought he was making something dark and serious and it turned out to be the shlock that I love" LOL that phrase kills me every time!
I just took it as a straight up Star Wars joke, as in , hey remember way back when Return of the Jedi was the worst Star Wars film, ha ha, those were they days.
Three things that bugged me about the movie: 1. They show Apocalypse building the pyramid with his mind powers, yet his enemies were able to incorporate an intricate booby trap mechanism into the foundations to bring down the whole structure and trap/kill him. 2. The sun shining on the capstone seems to be what initiates Apocalypse's resurrection, seeing as how the worshippers have been going down there a lot but this has never happened before. But the rug covering the hole was left off by Moira; the worshippers were always good about recovering the hole after they went down. So it was Moira who caused this whole thing, but they never acknowledge that in the rest of the movie and she's completely fine with it, like "wow, this is totally happening now, gosh.." 3. Mystique's speech at the end about how they aren't students anymore, they're X-Men, is given only in the presence of Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Jean Gray, Storm, and maybe Quicksilver. Basically all the people who just saved the world together and almost died and stuff. Only one or two of them had ever been to the school before, so they weren't students to begin with. So how do they need this pep talk? I give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she's just workshopping that speech with the others, for when she has to give it to the kids who actually haven't seen any action yet.
Nice on that last point. Would have been great if they closed the movie on that speech, then a short pause, and Cyclops says "Yeah, that was pretty good. A little hammy, but decent." CREDITS.
It is weird that this movie has a scene where he see a little girl and her mother impaled by a sharpened stick, and then later a kid with silver hair is moonwalking around an exploding mansion in slow motion set to "Sweet dreams are made of this".
Pete Camacho lol an arrow is an arrow no matter how it’s used. The difference between a spear and an arrow are the stabilization fins and usually size. You can use an arrow as a spear but it’s still an arrow, well and I guess it would now be a spear as well.
Crunchyscarf It's been years....literal YEARS! The last Plinkett review was in 2014. Don't get me wrong they can do what they want, It's their channel but God damn thats a long ass time!! I don't think It's unreasonable of me to wonder if they're ever gonna make another one...Or is it? Is it? Where am I? What am I even doing??? It's like I don't even know who I am anymore!
wow im so glad munn wasnt the girlfriend in deadpool, Morena Baccarin fits the role so much better and did such a great job. I've never seen munn stand out in anything.
Charles: you've killed HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of people, Erik. You must be stopped. Magneto: Sorry about that old chap. I was a bit chuffed at the moment. Charles: Carry on then. Magneto: Hmm. Indeed. Until next time Charles. Good tidings old chap. Charles: yes. Quite. Cheerio.
I love how I can't enjoy the forest scene because the Polish spoken in it (nevermind Fassbender, the police guys are way worse) is cringeworthy. For a good analogy - imagine a misunderstood French poet playing a Texas rancher. That's the level of writing and delivery in there.
Usually, studios will hire whoever can kind of speak the language as an extra. It's more important that the extras understand English so they can listen to directions. Pretty much every Chinese extra I've seen in films has had terrible Chinese because they're American. They're not going to waste time looking for someone who can speak fluently because less than 1% of the viewers notice it sucks.
+pyeclam I sure understand it. It's just that this time I'm the less than 1% so I was able to actually notice how it works. On the other hand - for a multi million blockbuster doing such a thing right would be a relatively small cost. That said - X-Men is not a multi language movie so they did't have to do it right. But for example Inglorious Basterds would basically be trash if not for the linguistic procifiency.
In a cab in Lublin recently. Driver had lived in UK for a time. He had me on hysterics; he had not only the cockney/estury and Yorkshire accents nailed, he knew loads of colloquisms for each.
Can we just spare a moment to appreciate Mike's comedy genius, and how much better Apocalypse would've been had "My House" by Flo Ride actually started playing after Xavier said, "Welcome to MY house, BITCH!"
One thing that annoyed me was when Magneto's wife and child are killed. The guy is using a very simple bow and when he accidently fired the arrow, it looked as if it were pulled back an inch or two yet still was able to skewer both?
@@jrd33 If I've learned anything from all my years reading fantasy novels and watching action films, million to one shots happen to work nine times out of ten. The tough part is making sure it's *exactly* a million to one shot.
So was Apocalypse supposed to be a villain in this? Sure, he did kill a few factory workers but he did rid the entire world of ALL nuclear weapons. Have the combined efforts of all the X-men in all the movies ever amounted to something so heroic and praiseworthy?
I'm right with Mike on this one. I feel like they made this movie just for me and I absolutely loved it's schlock and goofy fun mixed with these wonderful dramatic beats. So excellent and so much fun!
when they made a jab at the third movie in the trilogy, I thought they were saying that for this movie as well, because it's apart of it's own new X-Men trilogy. Like Bryan Singer knew the studios forced him to make an overpopulated character schlock, and didn't care the entire way XD
Jay thought the Auswitz scene at the beginning of X-men was tasteless?!? Really? Because that well executed scene, showed me that this individual Erik Lehnsherr is given a heroic right to be a bastard.
It's key to not only Magneto's character, but the moral dilemma of... the entire X-Men universe. That bit had me scratching my head too... like, no Jay, it's not Schindler's list but they're not making it farcical or squeaky clean.
There's no subtilty to it. The exact same effect could be achieved by showing numbers tattooed on his arm. Instead they show a crying child being separated from his mother by literal Nazis. It sets a really weird tone. Plus it's emotionally manipulative. That scene exists entirely to make you care about Magneto as a person, something that Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart accomplish in their first scene together.
Mr Plinkett needs to pay off his Student Loans before giving us a review, And don't give me that "he didn't go to school" bs, if he can send you Pizza rolls through a webzone, he definetly has at least a bachelors degree
I like the X-Men films more than the MCU films. They just make more of an impression on me. They're either memorably good, or memorably schlocky. I watch MCU films and usually find them well done and competently acted and put together. But there's always this underlying sense of "I feel satisfied with this product I've paid for. And now I'm ready to be apathetic towards it and never think about it again." Like a plastic disposable spoon made in China. The only exceptions are probably Iron Man 1 and Guardians of the Galaxy. They felt like they actually had a soul.
12:45 That's actually canon - one of the side-effects of Mystique's mutant ability as a shapeshifter is that her cells can generate and regenerate themselves at will, which theoretically, could allow her to live forever, provided she doesn't get killed first. She's commented that she's at least a century old in the comics.
X3 is better than DOFP and apparently this too, so that's why it's ironic. A decent enough film, flawed and vastly inferior to its predecessor as it may be, is better than two empty nothings.
"What the hell does Apocalypse want?" That information was indeed told to the audience through the magic of dialogue, which you had to pay attention to so you would hear the words said by him and thus understand what he wants. There are plenty of problems with the movie, but this was not one of them.
He is all about evolution and survival of the fittest, he wants to kill off the weak ones and let the strongest survive, this is all in his dialogue in the film. If he wanted to kill everyone, he would've done it with those nukes but he just launched them into space. He wants the telepathic power from Charles because then he is basically undefeatable and can do anything he wants.
+lodestarrobot Yes, "We will cleanse this Earth for the strongest." As in, we will kill all the weak ones. They even quote it from the trailer in this video at 6:10.
I think that was one of the nice touches in the film. Apocalypse was betrayed because he couldn't read minds, so that's the one power he needs to rule again and not get betrayed. He said that. Xavier even highlighted it at the end, that Apocalypse fails because he's alone.
