Putting all your cards in on Sophie Turner carrying the movie is a bad, bad, bad, bad idea.
Still bitter about Little Finger, are we....

I get that Jen Lawrence doesn't seem to want to be there anymore or go through significant trouble with all the makeup (not that I blame her on either count), but goddamn does the CGI'd blue-face on Mystique look awful. Even aside from the fact that the color and tone are different than they were with the makeup and look hokey and artificial, the prosthetic pieces changed the shape of her head/face slightly so not having that makes her look different.
It's also kind of fun that twice they've tried to tell probably the single most iconic piece of X-Men history in movie form and it looks like both times they're crashing and burning (and if not for the merger it could've even been that both times the movie flopping could grind the franchise to a halt).
If I recall for the this and the last movie her body is a special suit they designed and only the face is makeup as she was tired of having to sit for hours getting her whole body done.
With Sansa starring it's got to be good. Just look at the last 3 episodes of GoT.
They're giving her the same origin as the FF.
If cosmic force in space is used then no. She was a mutant telepath who had the potential to someday be more powerful than Professor X.I mean, aren’t they following the comic book origin?

The Dark Phoenix Saga - WikipediaReturning from a mission in space, Jean Grey is exposed to the deadly radiation of a solar flare, and briefly attains her ultimate potential as a telepath and telekinetic. Jean becomes a being of pure thought, and then reforms herself upon return to Earth with the new costume, identity and power of "Phoenix". It is with this incredible power that Jean repairs the fractured M'Kraan Crystal, but voluntarily restrains her powers afterward in order to keep them under control.
Yeah, and that was explored before it the last movie. But the Phoenix force was put upon her on a space mission in the comics, I’m pretty sure. This isn’t her origin story. It’s the “origin” story of her Dark Phoenix powers, or whatever you want to call it.
Yeah the reviews are bumming me out because I really enjoyed this current cast of X-men.
Though it’s hard to deny things were already going down hill with Apocalypse. First Class and Days of Future Past were quality X-men movies though
Wait and see what Disney does now.
The only positive here is that it makes the Disney reboot easier.
I hope they keep some of the cast, but I doubt they do. Fassbender really was great as Magneto, which says something as he had big shoes to fill
Magneto is a character Disney needs to get right because he is strong enough character to be a cross over villain for the MCU. He was one of the first major threats for the Ultimates I believe.
Yeah, I doubt they keep Fassbender, but I wouldn't be against it. Not really sure how the MCU will handle his origins, but I'm sure they have a plan.

IIRC It was rumored like a decade ago that we were going to get origin stories for both Wolverine and Magneto (the Wolverine one which became X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and the Magneto one ended up falling through. If they could reboot the X-Men in a similar way as they did the Avengers, with main characters getting solo movie(s) to build up to a team-up X-Men movie (and eventually a team-up MCU movie) that would just be amazing.
I think what he means is Magneto's origins are growing up and learning his powers in Nazi concentration camps. So much of the 'mutant' lore is grounded in past events that it's not really compatible with the current MCU on account how the hell did Shield and all these hero's miss all these super powered mutants have been running around for decades.
If it were the comic books they could just pull the multi-verse thing, and the MCU may go for something like that, but that's getting into the sillier side of comics and is harder to pull off for the broader movie-going audience.
Not surprised, it's getting blasted in most reviews. B-movie bad. When they pulled it from a February release in January to do tons of re-shoots after the first screenings, that was a big clue.
