Chuck Taylor why 02:47 don't you go ahead and get started what 02:49 were your feelings on this new movie the 02:52 last movie of the Fox x-men 02:57 well I guess everybody was saying it was 03:00 trash so I guess I just you know I just 03:05 wanted to give it a chance 03:06 oh my gosh everybody said venom was 03:08 trash there's a lot of movies that they 03:09 said were trash that weren't that bad so 03:11 no just going into it kind of just you 03:14 know expecting the worst 03:16 I felt I actually enjoyed the movie yeah 03:19 a lot of plot holes stories didn't 03:21 really line up but what I want to see I 03:23 kind of got the most stuff I saw Phoenix 03:26 doing some crazy stuff definitely they 03:30 did it definitely a lot better on her 03:32 than they did on The Last Stand and they 03:35 actually you know I guess we kind of 03:36 give it a little bit they kind of kept a 03:37 little more truer with the comics on 03:39 this movie with some how how she became 03:43 Phoenix last I was like what the world 03:45 where that comes from but other than 03:49 that you know them standing a little 03:51 more true I enjoyed the third act 03:54 like pride that probably got really 03:56 excelled the movie sold it to me was 03:58 just seeing you know all the different 04:00 battles magneto did a great job in this 04:04 movie 04:05 Charles see him going through what he 04:06 had to go through just kind of really 04:09 getting humbled a little bit in this 04:11 movie so it was it was cool to kind of 04:12 see everybody go through what they went 04:14 through Michael Wolfe but you know I 04:26 enjoy I enjoyed the movie um the patient 04:29 it was a little sad throughout so much 04:34 of the movie so and then it's not like 04:36 um it doesn't really count I guess allow 04:39 you to get that MCU type of feel and 04:42 some of the moves like I said in the 04:44 camera the bridge y'all upbeat and then 04:47 it takes you to a battle type of thing 04:48 it kind of just keeps you like 04:49 flatlining all the way down to the end 04:54 wow this is intense its intense movie I 04:58 thought the actors I thought they did 05:01 really well 05:02 showing them showing how you know 05:04 well-versed they are as actors really 05:06 tapped into some of their emotions I 05:08 definitely felt Cyclops did better on 05:10 this movie then on the last one I read 05:12 it like him on the other one so he 05:14 definitely did a little bit more work on 05:15 this one but oh no no I enjoyed I 05:18 thought was pretty decent movie um why 05:21 one of the better ones of the x-men I 05:23 actually watched it again so I took it 05:25 down first when I first came out I 05:27 thought it was like probably one of the 05:28 best ones now I kind of looking at the 05:30 movie I was like yeah that third act was 05:33 still the best out of all of them but 05:35 the movie the actual storyline and the 05:37 arc and everything there was a few other 05:39 movies like the x-men - even when Logan 05:42 and Logan was really good to me so I 05:45 would pick a couple of some of those 05:47 over over this one but this one I can't 05:49 say it was trash it was still pretty 05:51 good I enjoyed it 05:52 what about you oh man I agree 100% 05:55 except for the Logan part but just 05:57 because I'm not a fan of a Wolverine I'm 06:01 trying to eat my head a man for 06:03 everybody out there 06:04 don't listen to the Crick's man go in 06:06 with an open mind this movie is a good 06:09 movie I really really enjoyed this movie 06:12 like it's it's fun to sit there and sing 06:14 like okay what's gonna go wrong and then 06:15 you see that you're like this is 06:17 actually pretty good like that's pretty 06:19 good but the action scenes of a really 06:21 great you get the chance to see some of 06:23 your other characters I really do their 06:25 thing without being overwhelmed or 06:27 overshadowed by Wolverine it was it was 06:29 nice to actually have a movie with 06:31 Wolverine was that just dominating 06:33 everything and of course we saw it in 06:34 Apocalypse as well but this one like 06:36 some of your characters that you really 06:38 like that haven't had the chance to 06:40 shine really get an opportunity to shine 06:42 and smooth yet and I like that just like 06:44 Chuck said realize that the movie is 06:46 going to get dark and it's going to stay 06:49 there the quicker that you realize that 06:53 going into the movie the better you'll 06:55 be there yes don't expect to you know 06:58 feel good or have any relief for be like 07:00 oh man yeah that was a dark scene but 07:02 I'm glad sits over nice they're gonna 07:04 just punish you they're gonna punish you 07:07 they're gonna make you feel good for 07:08 about 15 minutes and then they're just 07:10 going to make you question your 07:11 existence it's one of the two hours 07:14 after that but I really enjoyed the 07:16 movie I definitely think it was one of 07:17 the best if not the best x-men I could 07:20 definitely see how x2 would be a 07:22 competitor because x2 is a very very 07:24 good movie so its first class okay so 07:30 that is it for our non-spoiler review I 07:32 really encourage you guys to go see this 07:35 movie and make a judgment for yourself 07:37 don't wait for a DVD I'm talking to you 07:40 a case topical but don't weigh from the 07:43 DVD go in and watch the movie yourself 07:45 it's a decent movie anything else to say 07:48 before we get into these boilers you sir 07:52 I went to them to talk go ahead alright 08:00 so it's time for spoilers spoilers 08:01 spoilers bullets take it again man so 08:17 let's go ahead and get into these all of 08:19 review of x-men dark themes 08:22 yeah I mean okay so basically with this 08:27 with this movie I really I really 08:29 enjoyed how to meet gene they kind of 08:31 kept up with the comic books with her 08:32 desorbing the power up in space and you 08:36 know I thought that was a pretty good 08:38 scene whenever when they went out the 08:39 space to rescue the the astronaut yeah 08:44 yeah astronauts you know seeing all them 08:46 kind of work together they kind of 08:48 brought that team feel of x-men back 08:50 okay so they're doing missions and stuff 08:52 together and I thought that was really 08:54 cool to see when when I guess everything 08:59 happened when she was trying to save 09:01 everyone so she kind of called the force 09:03 into her own body that's what kind of 09:05 look like to me on screen I don't know 09:07 if that's what they meant and she became 09:09 the Phoenix and everything just sucked 09:11 this out of her I'm assuming like I 09:13 guess on that point I was like whoa like 09:16 it's a little weird like I don't really 09:19 know if I would be bringing her on board 09:21 of the ship if every like a huge 09:23 explosion just stuck inside of her body 09:26 like y'all just like fly I didn't bring 09:29 right back don't even like think about 09:30 anything 09:31 like that whole point to me when they 09:32 were like just checking her out like the 09:34 whole point when she got back on the 09:35 ship and she went back to the school and 09:38 he did a little basic little look at her 09:39 like I know I know y'all saw her just 09:42 get exploded in space right and all the 09:45 flames and everything went into her body 09:46 like I felt like they just kind of 09:49 walked over that point it was like okay 09:52 we surprised you would let me face not 09:56 necessary left there in space but I 09:57 think they would have had a little more 09:59 precautions at least when they got it 10:00 back but it was like yeah I just walk 10:02 around go have fun and it's something 10:09 you know they won't know that happening 10:12 with us guy we gotta leave her out there 10:14 no G Scott remains so nobody made it 10:20 back the main thing we mate 10:26 when they kind of got into the story and 10:30 then you just saw all the disagreements 10:31 everybody on the team was having I don't 10:34 know I was ready for Raven to go like I 10:38 don't know she aggravated me at the 10:39 beginning the movie I was kind of tired 10:42 of her antics like yeah we need you to 10:45 go ahead and go and what she went to me 10:47 the movie just shot off it's like yes 10:49 it's getting like there now everybody is 10:51 you know everybody's emotions is so so 10:55 high like beasts like me know I go for 10:57 age monster and I'm now I'm teaming up 10:59 with he's teaming up with may need it'll 11:01 trying to get a girl had to kill her he 11:03 you don't care about saving her at all 11:04 he just cares about ending Jean Grey now 11:07 so seeing him and magneto team-up in the 11:10 movie and they have that standoff with 11:13 Charles and the other x-men in New York 11:15 that was a pretty good fight but the I 11:19 guess the real the real enemy of the 11:21 whole movie worthy I know they're not 11:24 the scrolls but they basically were the 11:26 springs did you hear what they call 11:31 those people yeah one dude the black 11:34 dude said d'bari 11:35 like one time yeah it was called the bar 11:43 I don't know anything about them but 11:45 they said they're shapeshifters aliens I 11:46 think that's just a cop-out cuz they had 11:49 scrolls and then everybody was like oh 11:51 well now Disney bought it and it's too 11:53 similar to Captain Marvel - she has 11:54 scrolls and they're fighting the space 11:55 so here will them change everything but 11:58 I guess that's that's kind of why we 12:00 didn't really have a background of those 12:02 other enemies that kind of like just 12:04 showed up start killing people and you 12:07 know and give a little bit of dialogue 12:09 why they were doing it but you don't 12:11 really get a little bit you can get that 12:12 much insight on them so I think they 12:15 could have done better with that I'm 12:16 some of they probably couldn't have to 12:18 move you up when they reach tried 12:20 everything 12:20 I'm sure later the first cut could have 12:23 been a little bit more inclusive and who 12:25 they were you know 12:28 Jabari d'bari but once they came in and 12:31 they really got in jeans hit I don't 12:35 know it's just I really enjoyed Jean 12:37 making those really hard decisions like 12:39 when she's trying to like fight off 12:41 Phoenix and she's like killing her 12:44 friends and she's like trying to stop 12:46 from like you know doing something like 12:49 horrible like when she's making Charles 12:51 come up the stairs I was in the movie 13:15 that I was rolling looking at him cold 13:16 stares and just kind of fast-forward and 13:21 I'm just going through get some of the 13:23 scenes I really liked so that seen her 13:25 and Magneto she just kind of like takes 13:27 a needle out you know with no problem 13:29 but they had some stupid seasonal saying 13:33 I'm the same epic fights like magneto 13:35 pulling up a train out the ground a 13:37 subway when he had a bus sitting right 13:40 there everywhere just grabbed the bus of 13:47 the cars and go fight like okay he had 13:49 to go show his muscle just drag up 13:51 people out there from from the subway it 13:53 was coming I was kind dumb and pointless 13:56 um but you know all at all I like I said 14:01 the last the third act is really what 14:03 saved the movie for me even though some 14:06 stuff it makes sense how that that that 14:09 train scene would when they had the 14:11 x-men all chained up and Davari 14:14 shape-shifting scroll people were coming 14:18 in and they all started fighting he saw 14:20 magneto just go crazy but he was just 14:23 mentioned smacking people with trains 14:25 shooting them up with the bullets 14:27 beast mode was gone 14:29 cutting people up yeah think about it 14:32 was just slicing people and a storm 14:34 actually no actually used some of the 14:37 powers that she has you know she's usual 14:39 Lightning flicker here there she used 14:40 the whole you know she's hurricane winds 14:44 she used frozen rain she was lightning 14:47 thunderstorms everything so she's an old 14:50 repertoire and I was good to finally see 14:52 her let loose I guess I can let loose 14:53 cuz it was like 14:54 invincible aliens it wasn't just people 14:56 that they were trying to stop they can 14:58 they could kill these people 14:59 so great oh no I enjoyed that third act 15:04 so much it made me actually really like 15:05 a movie so I don't know how the rest of 15:08 the movie is you watch that last part 15:09 you're going to meet you can really like 15:11 it so what about you oh man yeah I 15:15 really did I really did like this here 15:17 let me see here the action scenes will 15:20 great Quicksilver and my crawler at the 15:23 space station I mean a space shuttle 15:25 teleporting and all that stuff was 15:28 awesome 15:29 beast and Nightcrawler on the train with 15:31 beasts were like you almost a big beast 15:33 is like a punk now be state no I would 15:36 like these dudes the whole thing oh god 15:41 yeah but the best theme in the entire 15:44 movie was Nightcrawler boy don't piss my 15:47 scroll off man 15:48 don't don't piss him off cuz he will 15:50 teleport you in front of it I'm coming 15:52 train that was the best scene in the 15:56 whole movie right there man um Magneto's 15:59 first appearance right when Jean first 16:02 goes someplace are you trying to figure 16:03 out where she is no sudden you just EG 16:05 magnet just thing or you know hold one 16:14 me up or something he just was just 16:16 standing and he just moved close that's 16:18 like how that was amazing um well they 16:21 acting I liked a lot of the acting in 16:23 the movie I really like Professor X 16:25 showing that that arrogance and kind of 16:27 doing a couple of things that were a 16:28 little shady here and there like that's 16:30 really appropriate to his character like 16:32 that's how Professor X is he's kind of 16:35 big hated and he kind of he tries to do 16:37 right but sometimes his arrogance kind 16:39 of gets the best of him one of my 16:41 favorite parts there was when he and 16:43 beats were arguing and beast was like 16:46 you know just admit it just admit that 16:48 you did something wrong he's like yeah 16:50 Hank I hope you feel better 16:53 he did not be left it um I really like 16:57 Alexandra Shipp as as storms 17:00 I really respect how she portrayed the 17:02 character I thought she did a much 17:03 better job than any time I've seen storm 17:06 play the role and I can see why she 17:08 would be upset that people don't want 17:10 her to be storm because she obviously 17:12 worked very hard at the role 17:14 unfortunately the rule is just not meant 17:16 for her you know 17:17 it's like Tom Cruise trying to play a 17:20 part that was meant for Arnold 17:21 Schwarzenegger like it's not meant for 17:23 you but I felt she did a great job 17:25 very strong I liked her accent I 17:28 respected some of the decisions that 17:30 they made in the movie like taking 17:31 Quicksilver out of the movie pretty 17:32 early because he's trip number one he's 17:34 tradition about x-men and he would 17:36 overshadow others and I like what they 17:38 did with the scrolls their right 17:40 character mom would take notes that's 17:42 what we wanted these are things I 17:43 disliked about - movie though I hate 17:46 that they took out one of the best 17:47 dialogues in the whole thing it was like 17:50 in the in the trailers Mike Scott is 17:51 talking to Professor X he's like tell me 17:53 what to do 17:54 I don't know what to do yeah I thought 18:01 it was a poor decision to remake the 18:04 Dark Phoenix movie I really did and I 18:06 think that that's what's killing them in 18:07 the box office right now I think that 18:09 the last dance which honestly was not a 18:12 terrible movie - the last egg was just 18:15 not a good movie but unfortunately 18:17 sometimes over time things that are not 18:20 good become horrible over time you know 18:23 I think that's what happened to the last 18:25 dan and I think that that killed this 18:27 movie that people like we've already 18:29 seen it you know something it was a 18:32 mistake because the movie is pretty good 18:34 but I think people being burnt but it 18:35 let me see here huh so you know what 18:41 killer movie yeah 18:43 people people were burnt by the last day 18:44 and I think no money oh there's no as we 18:52 killed them that's what 18:54 that's definitely lesson that Fox would 18:56 have gotten out of that death oh we got 19:00 three scoops reshoot sound around 19:03 stabbing people yep 19:05 and this movie would have definitely 19:08 been a much better third movie 19:09 unfortunately they didn't have that 19:10 choice but another channel said it best 19:12 these are characters that we recognize 19:14 but not characters that we care about 19:16 like if there had been another movie 19:18 between this one and apocalypse but we 19:20 really got the chance to learn Jean this 19:22 particular Jean and Cyclops more it 19:25 would have meant more to see Jean going 19:27 bad 19:28 instead of like oh yeah that's the story 19:29 that I recognize um let me see here I'm 19:32 trying to cut it short here I didn't 19:35 like anything about mystique nothing I 19:37 didn't like nothing about her character 19:38 like her light blue scared I don't like 19:41 a light blue skin I was gonna I was 19:43 gonna mention that because some people 19:46 might think I'm reaching here but I 19:48 don't because I think that they tried to 19:50 make her character more of a of a 19:52 leadership role a more likable and 19:55 approachable type of character so what's 19:57 one way to make your character more 19:59 likeable and approachable 20:00 lighten her skin I don't like that I 20:03 don't like the message that that seems 20:06 mystique had been just fine is a parka 20:09 skin blue person and now they lighten 20:11 her skin to me and maybe that wasn't a 20:12 reason but that's kind of what I said 20:14 um I don't like the fact that she's a 20:16 team leader with the x-men mystique is 20:18 one of the x-men's like biggest villains 20:22 that's kind of like Doctor Doom being a 20:27 team leader with the hell with the 20:28 Fantastic Four just hanging out with 20:30 them hey you know is everybody okay your 20:32 money do not we gotta do the same thing 20:34 he's arguing with mr. fantastic about 20:36 about how the team is doing like no that 20:39 that's completely inaccurate as far as 20:41 the character is concerned and they just 20:43 I hate it I'm glad that they get rid of 20:44 her um but the last thing and I think 20:46 this is the biggest problem that people 20:48 have with the movie the tone of the 20:51 movie it's the fact that after the intro 20:53 the tone goes dark and it stays there 20:57 the entire me I say put foot on your 21:00 neck just don't let up like all right 21:05 for the next you know hour 45 two hours 21:08 you know and that's a mistake they 21:10 definitely should I'm not saying that 21:11 they should have some jokes in there but 21:13 they definitely should let up and I 21:15 think the music editing had everything 21:18 to do with this I thought the movie had 21:20 great music but the music editing killed 21:23 it because that music wasn't really the 21:26 thing to me that's putting that foot on 21:28 your neck because the music is commonly 21:30 so sad and the blah blah blah there 21:33 needs to be some scenes where cop there 21:35 can be conversations between people 21:37 without music like when Rome when uh 21:39 magneto and Phoenix first talked like 21:43 when they were sitting down talking 21:44 there should have been no music until 21:47 such time as magneto said whose blood is 21:49 that that's when the music should have 21:50 come again so yeah that's what killed 21:53 the Lupus that this the that's that mood 21:56 is just killing it overall though I 21:58 thought it was a really good movie if 21:59 you can get past that the action scenes 22:02 are great I thought the acting was great 22:03 I thought Michael Fassbender and um your 22:06 boy James McAvoy who is amazing 22:09 well awesome anything else you want to 22:11 say about this movie sir um no just kind 22:15 of piggyback like basically if you don't 22:17 care about I guess every point of the 22:21 movie like to make a good movie you just 22:23 want to go find some that's gonna 22:24 entertain you I think it would entertain 22:25 now I can't say after watching the 22:28 Stegner Tom it's definitely not as as 22:30 impactful as it was the first time we 22:32 watched it so you know you know I can't 22:36 really say now that I'm kind of looking 22:38 at a few more times I was thinking like 22:39 okay Doug really liked this movie I 22:41 really like the third act I think this 22:43 is all I can take for the new it I 22:44 really like the fighting and then on 22:47 that third act if they would have 22:49 intertwined a little bit more that in 22:50 the movie it kind of takes a while for 22:53 them to build up to the main fights so I 22:56 I definitely didn't today they messed up 22:59 a lot of movie with going back and kind 23:00 of cutting it up because I heard they 23:01 have so many shoots and edits and things 23:04 when Disney bought it so I only know 23:06 what the real true movie was it kind of 23:08 just got completely destroyed you know 23:10 based off of you know because it's the 23:12 last movie of
