Ridiculous indeed, what's funny is seeing naysayers calling for Singer's head just because they read some reviews and go along with it, without having seen the movie. Let's not forget he gave us X-Men 2 and DOFP, so now, he slips up a little according to some with Apocalypse and he needs to be removed? Geez. 

The movie is shit, DOFP is nothing special and x2 was....good for its time I guess. Superman returns was also horrible . Yep a great CBM director .

Alice 2 might not do 40M over the 4 day weekend. Again, that is below the OD of the first movie. Let that sink in. This is the end of Depp's career.

I doubt its the end. These people in the entertainment business get millions of chances. Just look at Chris Brown. Although Depp might not be doing family  films with Burton anymore.(Thats a good thing, because that collab got stale over a decade ago)

Tim Miller has one hit CBM and all of a sudden he needs X-Men? This is the thinking that gave Zack Snyder the DC Universe.

[SteveJaros]

You guys are dumping on Apocalypse too much. Is it as good as the first two X-men made in 2000 and 2003? No way. But is it tripe? No way either. This isn't a bad popcorn flick by any means. Yes, the characters are underdeveloped and some of the scenes that try to establish emotional connections among the Xers are embarrassing, but for the most part, the sterling action bowls a lot of that over. 

 

Bottom line: Do you really think this is any worse artistically than Furious 7 or Jurassic World were? And they conquered the universe.

Snap reactions based on bo of every movie...

 

X2 : Promote Singer to Superman universe.

X3 & Superman Returns : Duh, Singer and X-Men are a better match.

 

SM1 & SM2 : Raimi can do no wrong. Make him POTUS.

SM3 : wtf Raimi

 

ASM1 : Webb will mature and lead the SM world well

ASM2 : End Webb

 

DOFP : Singer is the real deal. X-Men forever with Singer

DP and XA : Out with Singer.. Tim Miller should be head of MCU, DC, X-Men and every CBM ever.

[Thrylos 7]

Yes it is faaaaaaar worse than jw and ff7 . These are actually great popcorn movies, this is a boring mess made for people that like the twilight movies . Oh and since when is the first Xmen movie considered good ?

Why did Zack Snyder get put in charge of DCEU again?

Tim Miller doesn't only have Deadpool:

 

 

Let's not bullshit. The guy has his finger on the pulse of what makes superheroes fun.

Cinemascore doesn't matter and WOM doesn't seem to affect the X-franchise much. DOFP got stellar WOM and yet only did as much as it did.

 

It doesn't matter much, but the difference between a 2.2 multiplier and 2.5 is meaningful and WOM may matter. X3 and XM: O-W  fared worst.

I haven't seen Apocalypse myself, but you make it sound like being a better blockbuster than Furious 7 is easy. That was a dumb film, yes, but it embraced its dumbness and turned itself into a super entertaining film w/one brilliant ending. Not as good as Fast Five, but about on par w/6. JW... you may have a point there.

I'm leading the Derby and I'm going to have a near perfect score in CSG  Great expansion for Love and Friendship, everything else is performing exactly like I expected (well, maybe not Alice)

Just watched that scene on YouTube 

[The Stingray]

It's politics, man. Singer wants to keep Matthew Vaughn down. Keep him weak. Because he doesn't want nobody else to direct the X-Men franchise. The way he's been clinging onto it is a disgrace.

That is why a sub 100 million 4-day is not a good result. 

[baumer]

as I said previously apocalypse was fairly decent maybe even good. But it's way too long and it really matters a lot for the first 90 minutes or so. There's a lot that could have been cut out of it. The last hour is very good but it's just something I will never see you again

They all get eaten by the fan(atic)s eventually.  The Russos  and Miller will get theirs eventually too.  Remember  when Whedon was king of the nerds? And look  how quickly  they turned on him.  They even lie and say Marvel fired him.  

 

The only one who seems untouched  is Matthew Vaughn but he never returns  for the sequel.  Edited to add... I didn't know he's directing kingsman  2. Guess that will break his streak?

I think unlike DOFP there was nothing that cool or interesting about.

 

DOFP was a story any fan of Xmen wanted to see on screen and having a combination of the old and new cast was a great  addition.

 

This time i may check this out after theaters.
