Yes, we are going on a mission |
So the first wide-release tráiler for X-men: Apocalypse is
out and I have a couple of thoughts about it. First of all the trailer does not
look bad and it was good to see Cyclops, Beast, Angel and Jean in it. I hope
that they have Ice-Man in it so that we can have the entire original team. We
also saw Storm, Jubilee, Nightcrawler, Psylocke, Magneto, Havok, Quicksilver
and a very bald Professor Xavier which made me just say “finally!” I think that
will be his look at the end of the movie, and that shot that you see may be the
end of it.

They also made sure not to give us too many shots of
Apocalypse and not a single shot was from an angle like the one in the picture
that made him look like a Power Rangers villain. There is also a scene where
you see Apocalypse grow in size which is one of his iconic powers, but I am not
sure how that will look in the big screen. Officially I am still not down with
the look of the character, but that has the potential of being a good thing
because it lowers expectations. You can have a bad looking character that is
also awesome at the same time. His voice is not menacing, but until I see the
movie I cannot tell you if that will matter as much.
The next thing I will bitch about, because that is what I do
better, is the fact that they cast Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique. Don’t get me
wrong, she is an awesome actress. I think Jennifer Lawrence is the best young
actress in Hollywood at this time and that is the problem that I have with the
casting. They must feel that because it is such a huge name and an amazing
talent that you are dealing with that they have to make her good. I would
rather see her being evil and in Apocalypse’s side and I know that Lawrence can
pull it off and she would be great at it, but they won’t do it because she HAS
TO be a hero.

The one thing that people say about this movie that I am not
too concerned about is that there are a ton of characters. As I said before in
the list of people that we saw, there are plenty of characters is true, but we
don’t know how they will be used. We know that Magneto, Angel, Psylocke and
Storm are going to be the 4 horsemen and we know that some of the mutants will
go on the mission to stop Apocalypse which is fine because the X-Men are a
team. We know that Quicksilver, Jean Grey, Psylocke, Beast, Nightcrawler,
Mystique, and Charles are going to be fighting, but we don’t know what role
Havok, Jubilee and Wolverine will have.
Now on to the positives, I think the movie looks good for
what they are trying to do. I am pretty sure that we will get a great movie
because this is the one Fox property that they have started doing right. Fox
may have no idea what in the hell they are doing with Fantastic Four, but as
long as Bryan Singer is involved with X-Men, they are in safe hands. I like the
casting choices for this movie (minus Mystique and Beast), because they seem
right for the role. The stakes look really big which I like and the villain
despite the look and sound of him, will be the biggest threat that the X-Men
have faced on film.
I cannot wait to see this movie. You can bet that we will be
there on the day it is out and I do not mind that I will be there probably at
10 AM to the matinee show. The movie looks like it will be great on IMAX too.
