Hey come on, that's not fair. The Oz movie was actually pretty solid.
[Movies] X-Men: Days of Future Past
- Thread starter evilmike
- Start date
That was Sam Raimi.
...whoops. Bad case of the dumb there. Sorry.
Okay, yeah, looking at his IMDB directing credits, I'm with you, now.[DOUBLEPOST=1395722297,1395722167][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh no. Oh dear Christ, no...I just had a closer look at some IMDB stuff.
Simon Kinberg wrote the script for this. The same guy who wrote X-Men 3 and This Means War.
Screw it. I no longer have hope for this movie.
You and I must have watched an entirely different movie.
I just hope that if they still feel the need to show every mutant doing something with his/her powers they bother to get the cash to not make it look dumb as shit. Of the big superhero movies the X-Men have had the wildest range of VFX, from outstanding work to just amazingly crappy. Part of that I assume is because it's such a "big team" they feel like they have to give everyone their 5 seconds on screen but you know what? Screw that. Focus on what works, not "90's Hair guy and his mohawk of screaming fire farts" or whatever.
Why is Xavier shitting fire? Did he have Mexican for lunch?
Another trailer. This one shows Quicksilver in action and he doesn't look as bad as I thought he'd look.

Looks more like Magma's powers.
I just saw that earlier today. He looks like a nu-metal fan in a Party City wig. Just awful.
I think it's so surreal that we're getting two different interpretations of Quicksilver in such a short timeframe. Has anything like that ever happened in movies before?
Is that the Sony version of the Marvel version?
The Sony version. Both he and Scarlet Witch will be in both this AND Avengers because somehow, both studios have the rights to the characters. Very strange.
Yeah, that is Sony's for Days of Future Past. Marvel's for AoU looks like this (along with complimentary Wanda):
And the Marvel version photos are before studio magic is applied. Once those scenes are shown on the big screen they will look amazing. I've read a lot of complaints regarding Scarlett Witch's outfit but I think is fine.
The Fox version of Quicksilver looks bad. For some reason Fox can't get something as simple as hair looking natural. Storm and Quicksilver's hair both look like bad wigs. And I've not been a fan of Mystique and Beast's look. The bright blues look fake on screen. Compare that to The Hulk in The Avengers and it's night and day. I had such high hopes for DOFP (and am still holding out for a great movie) but the more I see of it the less enthusiastic I become.
I'm glad they're not doing the ugly looking cowl for Wanda. I've never been a fan of any of her looks that incorporated that.
I think it's still there, it's just down in the photo. It's like a hooded jacket now.
WOW. That… is so stupid.
Because $$$.
They've started a website now that gives a historical timeline leading to the bad future present in Days of Future Past.

Saw the new trailer before Captain America 2.
Sold.
Sold.
So hey... they mention Quicksilver in the 25 Moments thing. You know... the same Quicksilver that is slated to be in Avengers 2?
Anyone else think Disney and Fox are about to throw down? Fuck... I'd love to see Fox lose the rights to mutants and the X-Men. Who WOULDN'T want to see an X-Men movie done by Marvel, in the Marvel Movie Universe?

Regarding Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, they made a special deal regarding them. Though they are major X-Men characters, they are also old-school members of the Avengers. As such, they arranged it that Fox can use them but cannot reference anything related to the Avengers, whereas Disney can use them but cannot reference the fact that they are Magneto's children and mutants.
