THE MEN OF THE X VARIETY AND OTHER FOX BS (spoilers)

[FilmNerdJamie]

Obviously there will be an action heavy trailer closer to release. They wanted their first impression to be on a story/character/emotional level.

[Abraham Smashington]

I don't need ALL ACTION, but this trailer was just a bit too heavy handed I guess. I dunno, I'm in a shitty mood which is obviously tainting my view.

I was just psyched for this one after the stellar Cap 2 trailer the other day.

Ehh.. I'm with Rerb on this one. Sentinels or GTFO. It doesn't need to be X-pendables: Days of Future Past, but at least a glimpse that something is going to happen in this beyond dramatic close-ups. Why bother viral marketing them so hard and teasing the designs if you aren't going to give it the slightest nod in your trailer. I can only imagine how bored the general audience would be with this not knowing what is being withheld.

At this point it seems like the only set piece is that downtown scene with the convoy and everyone scattering, which feels small and uninteresting next to things like Cap 2. I don't know why it bothers me so much but fuck the part with Wolverine being shot and then healing, OMG HE CAN HEALZ BULLETZ?? I think this was made apparent in the other 5 movies he's in which all feature the same scene. A reaction shot of someone looking up at a sentinel and hearing it stomp around or charging up an energy blast would do wonders and not require any vfx.

I love First Class. I want to love this. Still waiting for a reason to

I LOLed when I saw Vaughn and Goldman listed under "Story By."

I'm also a bad comics fan because I only knew who Bishop was. Had no idea who the others were.

Put me in the cautiously optimistic camp. I grew up with Claremont's X-Men, so the grim, angsty tone doesn't immediately turn me off, unlike worthless Millennials like Rob who break out in hives if the word sincerity is even mentioned. Maybe it's just the Sunshine music (one of my favorite soundtracks and movies) that's giving me happy thoughts about this.

That said, the movie being so rushed makes me nervous. I'm hopeful. Which is cool cause they need me to hope again.

Also, Russ, I think that is the inception music at the end. The ping cue at the very end of the piece sounds like the music at the end of Inception, when DiCaprio runs off with his kids.

THIS IS A MOVIE WITH A DWARF WITH A PORN STACHE.

But for reals, I have no problem if the story is good. I just thought the trailer was shit.

But he's a sincere dwarf.

See what I mean? I weep for your generation.

[Captain Russ]

I just don't want X-Men:Sad Bastard Edition

Hopefully the next trailer works for me better than this one.

Have you ever read an X-Men comic?

[Bobby Bear]

I think it's fine. Obviously they're holding off on the action for now and that's just fine with me.

Indeed. I'm intrigued by the prospect of a modern superhero movie that's more interested in story, character, and theme than destroying cities. Standard trailer caveats about this potentially being designed to give just that impression aside, it seems more idiosyncratic than your standard gruff voice/running away from explosions fare.

Mind you, I wasn't that impressed by the Cap trailer so... you know. Disclaimer.

I dunno, seems preeeeeeeeeeeetty dope to me.
