It's pretty uninspired, but then I'm hating all these slow covers they put in trailers. It's a turn off to see a movie.

I like this new run of X-Men movies. Hoping this will be as good as the last few.

Apocalypse was pretty bad. The only one of the new ones I liked was Days of Future Past.

Fassbender's fantastic as Magneto though.

I'm just glad they didn't go with What a Wonderful World.

The slow cover trend is one of my most hated trends, at the moment. And now they just did it to perhaps my favorite song ever made. *Sideshow Bob shudder*.
I'm surprised they didn't have some young, generic sounding girl singing it, though.

Cool sunglasses, bro.

Agreed on all counts. And forcing Mystique in again is annoying.

The trailer looks like shit. It's funny how they can fuck up this storyline twice. You'd think they would have learned after the last one to do it right. I wonder what this version's "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" will be?

Will take a seriously good movie to get the taste of Apocalypse out of my mouth.

I didn't count X-solo movies though, as I loved the two Deadpools and Logan.

Right? I was expecting something recognizable, but it just looks to be lamely retreading Last Stand. One could hope there's a hilariously bad line like that though.

That is possibly one of the worst covers ever. Will not watch movie.

I thought First Class was great.

Saw chunks of the last one and except for the Magneto stuff, it was pretty bad. The girl that plays Jean has zero charisma, and it is always a bad omen to build a plot around a dull star.

I thought First Class was goodish. I'll easily take it over Apocalypse, Last Stand, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and a notch above the first X-Men and The Wolverine.
