The whole film looks like an unwritten science fiction novel. It seems that the ramble provides a lot of information with content. In fact, it is constantly "explaining" background knowledge to the audience (I just happened to have some insights recently).
After the audience and friends spent quite a long time getting together and understanding the complex background knowledge explained in the film, they found that the main story is very simple. People deeply doubt that the screenwriter's work on the main story is not as good as the work on editing the easter eggs and the sequel interface...
In addition, some thoughts are as follows (including but not limited to Tucao):
1. Apocalypse is the most awesome His skill is - Dangdang - to engage in civil construction, from demolition of houses, to design of new houses, to construction of water and electricity, one-stop, the eighth wonder of the world in minutes; while marveling at Apocalypse's outstanding design and construction capabilities, I can't help but sigh, such a god-like character can't be exempted from the vulgarity after re-development. You must first have a house before you can feel at ease...
2. At the end of the film, you can see that the civil engineering skills of Magneto and Phoenix are still inferior, not only two Only people can work together to complete an antique building reconstruction project, and the construction is much slower than Apocalypse...
3. A setting that is difficult to accept: Magneto, the most famous villain in the mutant world, has not handled his personality well. It is a good idea for the screenwriter to tell the conflict of Magneto’s inner values in the first part, especially Fassbender is very suitable for this kind of play, Magneto goes to Argentina to hunt down the Nazis, and Charles tries to move the radio telescope at home. , they are all very exciting; but it is the third part, and Magneto is still swaying. This is not called a deep inner drama. This is called the screenwriter's poor skills, which directly leads to the prequel trilogy. Magneto is entangled from beginning to end. Hesitant, looks too weak... At the end of the film, Magneto is still an expression of good times when my heart is at ease, which is far from the image of the Megatron-like villain leader, which is forcing the producer Going to plan a Magneto one-liner to make the characters round...
4. X-Men must have group dramas, but after all, there are still primary and secondary roles. Too much relying on a supporting role to complete the key plot is also a reflection of the screenwriter's lack of ability; the second part of Quicksilver can be said to be a god. Come on, the third part is good. Not only does Quicksilver still use it, but also a Nightcrawler. Skills play a key role in each scene in the second half. One of the most troublesome things for screenwriters may be how to keep the protagonist. In this story...
5. Apart from civil engineering, Apocalypse's second hobby is to do some clothing design. The fashionable clothes that he has come up with are all worn by his subordinates. The male subordinates all wear them tightly, and the female subordinates all show their thighs. .....Okay, that's the way it is, but in the movie, you don't need to use precious footage to express the process of Apocalypse making clothes. What's the point...
6. The burly Phoenix girl who goes before her big move A few steps are a bit handsome; the character chosen by Cyclops is a bit too weak; Quicksilver's makeup is not well dressed and looks old; Angel and Storm's street idiot hairstyles are hard to accept;
7, yes, Apocalypse's third hobby should be It's to make the person you like have the same hairstyle as yourself, that is, the bald head...
Although there are many dissatisfactions, the X-Men has always been my favorite series of American comics and comics, because it is rich enough.
Mutants with different characteristics not only have different skills, but also have their own distinct personalities. The stories on them can be said to flow out naturally, and they are in a unified world view; unlike the Avengers, a while A god from another world, another artificial human being, although it is also lively to watch, it is still not suitable for obsessive-compulsive disorder;
children look up at the starry sky, imagining that they can have one or two supernatural powers, but they are not omnipotent and endure in their hearts. It's still more powerful than choosing which ability to choose, the world of X-Men can provide the best fantasy space (btw, but I don't like the inhumans getting in, it's messed up)...
So even if there is no good main story, when each character jumps and shows off their skills in their own small sections, it is quite exciting to watch. For viewers who know the world of X-Men, this is also a way of showing "richness". For viewers who don't know the background of comics, maybe the feeling of "too much background explanation and too weak main story" I complained above will be more obvious. Some. (In the scene where Professor X's ex-girlfriend ran to Cairo to lead to Apocalypse's revival, the two boys next to me were still saying, "This movie is quite similar to that Indian Ark.")
I have to mention Wolverine here. (It's no secret that Wolverine will appear, so it's not a spoiler). The scene of Wolverine's cameo appearance in this film is quite a bit of a twilight wolf's hometown tune. It's still quite looking forward to Wolverine 3. I don't know how Wolverine 3 can integrate the story line with these many X-Men series. When the film is connected, I don't know if Comrade Hawkeye can be seconded from the Avengers studio...
