I love the xmen universe in general, so even a bad movie will still be a good flick just by default tbh.
There is a lot of hammering against everything lately it seems, I actually liked superman v batman. not sure what all the hate was about. a few minor cringe moments, but overall, pretty good.
looking forward to it.

I think it could have been great..except for some horribly questionable choices...
I'm prob biased, because "The death of Superman" arc was a key part of my childhood and they poo pooed all over that and doomsday.
Batman killing indiscriminately, with no plot point attached was stupid...
Their reason for fighting was already set...Superman said retire, and batman wasn't going to. There was no reason to add the Martha crap.. It was just convoluted and made no sense batman going to save Martha when Clark is super fast..
Honestly I could forgive everything else if they had just "killed" doomsday and ended it. Then you can bring the real doomsday back, in all his boney glory and do the death of arc in the next super man movie..

Ahh, well thats a lot of comic book lore.
I am not a lore fanatic, so to me I just judged the movie based on the movie. the martha bit was actually my idea of the cringe moment...made no sense how they went from hated enemies to bffs simply because they had a mother with the same name..that was just absurd
but most of the other parts were fine to me.
Superman eventually comes back, I know that much, then they will move into the justice league...or not. depends really on if they push on with this or just scrap it all and do a star wars episode 2 and erase their vision.

Man of Steel as an actual film wasn't awful although it has that reputation - I mean I pretty much hated it, but the problem lies with the actor who plays Superman - he's awful, truly terrible.
BVS suffers for the same reason, Affleck is excellent but the Superman actor is woeful.
Obviously BVS was a mess too and could have done with someone to edit the movie.
Snyder gets a lot of crap but I think he's pretty Good, he just needs some help and some good scripts

Out of the 3 major comic book franchises to come out this year (Batman v Superman, Captain America Civil War and X-Men Apocalypse) I liked X-Men the most by far.
It was a great throwback to the comics and cartoons from the 80's/90's and did an excellent job tying into First Class and Days of Futures Past, rebooting the series.
Hugh Jackman has said that he is going to play Wolverine one more time on the big screen, and rumor has it that it's going to be the "Old Man Logan" story line. Afterwards they are going to recast the character and I'm curious to see who they get for the role.

I really liked this movie although it had some huge flaws. Some of the CGI and wire work was bad, J-Law was terrible and it was disappointing that Apocalypse went from being a philosophically intriguing character to a power hungry nutjob throughout the course of the film but the rest of the character arcs were pretty cool. Fassbender pretty much nailed it again, thought he was by far the best thing about it.
