    Some great images which give me further confidence that Apocalypse will look badass when he arrives on our screns...

    I probably won´t look at any more images until the movie now, Singer seems to have everything in control..

    Hmm looks like its going to have one of those trailers that shows you the end of the movie

    There’s a scene – it’s going to get spoiled because they decided to use it in the trailer – but it's kind of a wrap up of six movies. So, it might run a little bit long ... but it’s not boring".

    X-Men: Apocalypse trailer will be shown before Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

    X-Men: Apocalypse co-writer/producer Simon Kinberg
    I can in fact confirm that information. Our first trailer will be on Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It’s our first thing out there so it is somewhat of a teaser but it’s certainly longer than a minute and it has a ton of cool stuff in it

    Trailer released.



    Wow.

    My only reservation is that I wished Apocalypse had a slightly deeper voice.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,406 ✭✭✭PirateShampoo


    I liked the trailer, still think Apocalypse looks rubbish though. He's to small and looks old.

    Did you actually watch the trailer? He grows huugggee.

    Also I like that a lot of the X-men are there as teenagers. You know what I'd love a future movie to be? Like an adaptation of Evolution.

    No i lied, i didn't watch the trailer at all.

    And yes while i hope i grows bigger, i hope its not to tower block proportions like in the comic sometimes.

    Also they nailed the baldy look.

    To me, it's nowhere near as how spoiler-y the Batman VS Superman trailers have been.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,292 ✭✭✭SouthTippBass


    Im also debating wether to watch this or not. Out of 10, how spoilery is it?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    If you consider the most recent Batman vs Superman as being an 8 or a 9/10, then this, for me, would be a 5 or 6/10.

    It's no more spoiler-y than most trailers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    So the 4 horsemen are Angel, Psylocke, Magento and....?

    Anyone spot it?

    I didn't watch the BvS trailer, as everyone said it gives away the whole plot. I haven't watched any of the star wars trailers either.

    I wish someone would make a youtube channel, or similar, that rated how spoilery trailers are.

    What was the last trailer you watched? For any movie.

    Edit: And how spoiler-y would you say it is, out of 10? To get a benchmark. We'll say that most recent BvS trailer is on the higher end, at 10/10.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,094 ✭✭✭SpaceCowb0y


    Oh wow, i just watched that in HD on the big screen... Goosebumps!

    I would have preferred Apocalypse to be a lot more physically imposing though! I'm thinking Tom Hardy Bane size under that armour at the very least. Thats a little bit of a let down!


  • Registered Users Posts: 329 ✭✭hotshots85


    Yeah I think his voice is a let down too, call me old fashioned but I was expecting the booming, "I am a god!" type voice. Reminds me more of Luke Goss in that Blade film

    I won't watch trailers for movies that Im know Il definitely see anyway. But I love a well constructed teaser trailer, those can really hit the spot. The turning point for me was Terminator Genisis, I think most of us were disappointed in that movie, but what would it have been like if we didn't know the twist from the trailer? It could have been a real wtf moment in the cinema, but that was taken from me. So id give that trailer a 10/10 for spoilers.

    The last trailer I watched was yesterdays Turtles one. Id give it a 6.5/10 for spoilers, it gave us most of the characters, but didn't really give us too much of the plot. Iv tried to piece it together, I guess the Turtles figure out that Baxter Stockman has some mutagen, track him down, he's used it to create Bebop and Rocksteady, the Shredders hanging around too, maybe dimension X and Krang. But I don't know what anyones motivation is, or what the stakes are, if any.

    Although its a kids movie, and I could take an educated guess as to how things pan out, the trailer hasn't told me.

    This is what, in my opinion, a good teaser looks like...

    It looks good, although I remain unconvinced about Apocalypse's look. I'm sure it will be better in context and from seeing it more, but he looks kind of.....plasticy? I do think Marvel needs to get a villain of this scale right because it's been their big weakness in their films so far, their portrayal of villains or lack of it.

    I think X-Men is Fox not Marvel.

    Oscar Isaacs can be extremely visually imposing though. Check him out in Ex Machina, he's pretty built in that. Honestly I don't mind if he is normal human size, because it'll make the moments he grows just that more visually striking. While his voice is definitely not there, Isaacs is great at acting unhinged.

    It is Fox

    X-Men has benefited from having fantastic villains in the source and the movies casting them perfectly (Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender are fantastic Magnetos and Kevin Bacon was great in :First Class), with also directors that, by and large (ignoring Last Stand, because DoFP made that not happen any more) know how to handle them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,746 ✭✭✭FortuneChip


    Ah X-Men. I feel these movies have always taken a more modest approach, and it's worked to their advantage.
    Good trailer teases without giving away major plot points.

    I think the X-Men have always benefited from avoiding that prolonged 3rd act of destruction as well.
    All of them have ended in somewhat isolated areas. Not saying moving the Golden Gate Bridge or a baseball stadium wasn't destruction, but it wasn't this monotonous onslaught of nameless buildings getting torn down just for spectacle.

    Ah ya, bit of a blonde moment there :pac:

    Think I'm worn down by so much Marvel stuff. But yes X-Men films have handled villains a lot better than Marvel have with their films. I think Singer is good at getting across why villains feel they have reasons to do the things they do, it can be a bit weak or mishandled with Marvel.
