Never listen to critics. If I like a movie I'll go see it, a critique is not going to make me change my mind. Read a lot of critics reviews after I've seen a movie for laughs.

How do you like a movie if you haven't seen it?

In response to the "critics don't matter" line. It's completely false. BvS is a prime, recent example that critics do matter. The bad buzz the negative reviews created shot it in the foot, and after an opening weekend with movie goers who were already committed to seeing it, it fell off a cliff from bad word of mouth.
Not to mention, if critics didn't matter, Rotten Tomatoes wouldn't exist and putting a "certified fresh" sticker in ads and in DVD sleeve covers wouldn't matter either. They clearly matter. If you prefer too blow $12 on a movie uninformed and having no idea what to expect, then by all means. Ignorance can be bliss. But let's not silly, here. |

I guess I just don't understand how you like something you haven't seen.

I don't understand what you're not understanding. For example I like the X-Men, I'll go watch the new X-Men movie.

You said if you like a movie, you'll go watch it. How do you know if you like the movie if you haven't seen it. That makes no sense. I like to eat snake. I've never eaten any. But I like it. Zero sense.
Now, if you like the X-Men and therefore will see the movie they're in because you like the source material, then that's different. But that's not what you're saying. |

So bad movies get made because studios put out trailers to gain intrest in a movie and people are fans of certian franchises? If the demand for a movie is there then why not make the movie. Some movies are bad, they all cant be homeruns. I think we view movie different, I've never been to a movieand regretted it. The theater is an experience to me, you get to watch a movie on a big screen with lots of people for a low price.
What are some movies you think are bad. I usually tend to like critically acclaimed bad movies. Like Punisher War Zone, Green Lantern, and Dawn of Justice. |

Booty Call. The theatre experience is made for movies like that.

Yes. Capitalism does not substitute for quality though. "Make the movie if it makes money" is a soul crushing way to think about a form of art meant to inspire.

Yeah, I don't look at movies as a form of art meant to inspire. They are a form of entertainment for 2 or so hours and that's it. Have never been inspired by a movie to my knowledge.
I don't watch a lot of movies, have never seen the Booty Call movie you mentioned. Have actually just started going back to the movies since Star Wars came out. |

What's sad about it? Seeing it as art meant to inspire just seems really deep to me. What does that even to mean. No need to be sad, I enjoy movies I'm just not "inspired" by them.

Nothing wrong with Simple Fan's perspective. It's no different than wrestling, some people take it as a super serious art-form, others as light-hearted entertainment. Leave the fella alone.

I'm the exact same way. I loved X-Men 3 as well, and I'm almost certain that I'll love Apocalypse as well. I still predict that Jean Grey will be the one to kill Apocalypse, or be responsible for putting him back in the tomb. Jean Grey/Phoenix is the only mutant powerful enough to defeat a God. In terms of Wolverine/Hugh Jackman only being in one more movie after this, Marvel has to find a logical way to discontinue/kill off Wolverine, and that's where I think Phoenix will come in. I've heard rumors that in a future movie, Channing Tatum will play the role of Gambit (which is why I originally thought/felt that Gambit would eventually play a large role in defeating Phoenix), but I also agree with Fignuts/Rammstein that the mediocre Gambit defeating Phoenix would be quite anti-climatic. Will be interesting to see what happens. |

Wolverine will just walk off in the sunset or something. Just have him go back to Canada at the end or something on his own adventure. No need to kill him. Especially if his new movie is in the future.

Just got back. Fucking loved it. As I knew I would. Not gonna spoil anything or go into depth because I doubt most of ya have seen it yet, but gotta say at the very end before the credits, long-time fans of the characters are gonna mark the fuck out. I loved it!

Imagining them recreating the animated 90s intro now with the music. Anything less and I will be dissapointed now.

Now THAT would be pretty amazing! They should do that anyway as a little DVD bonus or a viral thing. Just something goofy. That'd be awesome.

No, it means I just enjoy movies. I'm not going to watch a fictional movie and be inspired.

Movie was badass all the way around. I did fear it was be to much J Lawrence but she still seemed like a main side character as Mystic always is.

Solid summer action flick. I wish theyd bounce Singer and let thwm get more comic book-y but it wasnt bad. Better than many of the films from the franchise.
Loved the dig at Last Stand. |

It wasn't terrible, but I found Apocalypse a little too cheesy for my liking for some reason. I was expecting him to be a bit more badass.

I liked it.
Jean Grey and Nightcrawler were great additions. Cyclops/Storm were interesting too. I like how emotional all the X-Men films are. Quicksilver, again, nearly steals the show. |
