Ricky
2024-09-13 23:42:26 +0000 UTCDark Phoenix is just a redo of Xmen Last Stand

2024-08-27 11:19:55 +0000 UTCits so bad
VOCFM
2024-08-26 08:21:42 +0000 UTCSorry, do I understand you guys are skipping DARK PHOENIX? Tsk tsk!
Kent Theaker
2024-08-26 05:37:40 +0000 UTCI’m looking forward so much to see the PIB sisters watch LOGAN . It is so good but such a departure from the tone of all the other X-Men movies. It might be a bit challenging for Carly but she’s a champ and brave. You can do it Carly!!
Anthony Oberhauser
2024-08-25 22:15:35 +0000 UTCit's hard to believe that gross ole Apocalypse is lovely ole Oscar Isaac
Morgan A. Colbert
2024-08-25 19:19:59 +0000 UTCI love watching you and Carly’s reactions, especially when there is something that freaks either of you two out like when Angel gets his new wings. Can’t wait to watch your full reaction to Logan. Keep making amazing reactions and you two are so beautiful
David Milyaro
2024-08-23 02:37:45 +0000 UTCsorry i just saw what you ment.
Jimmy Reyes
2024-08-22 07:34:59 +0000 UTCAre we all just going to ignore the fact that we got to see Knight Rider in this movie??? Probably the best part of the entire movie! 😂
Edwin
2024-08-22 04:35:10 +0000 UTCPlease… let’s do forget 😂
Edwin
2024-08-22 04:23:00 +0000 UTCbecause dark phoenix is last of the movies dude.
Jimmy Reyes
2024-08-22 04:17:41 +0000 UTCYes please spill the beans I'm very interested in the behind the scenes stuff that goes on in hollyweird that they don't want the public to know about I've always heard Bryan Singer lifestyle choices aside was a prick to work with same with James Cameron 🤷♂️
Charles Briggs
2024-08-22 04:05:38 +0000 UTCGood Reaction Ladies. Dark Phoenix needs to be added to your timeline.
Rick Williams
2024-08-22 01:22:15 +0000 UTCCassie why isn't Dark Phoenix on your watch list? Whoever you are listening to has you put Deadpool which has nothing to do with the X-Men timeline on your list. But, not Dark Phoenix? That makes no sense.
Rick Williams
2024-08-22 01:17:44 +0000 UTCDid you recognize Apocalypse was played by Oscar Isaac?
BibbitduBois
2024-08-22 01:09:01 +0000 UTCI might go ahead and recommend you watching DARK PHOENIX before you jump into LOGAN and DEADPOOL 2 just to see how they wrapped up these versions of the characters, despite it being the least of the X-Men films, but the score is still 🔥 and you get Fassbender and McAvoy.

2024-08-21 19:42:05 +0000 UTCfirst class is my favorite this is my second favorite!
dieselbeast
2024-08-21 19:41:18 +0000 UTCIt's funny that Cassie recognizes Sophie Turner as marrying on of the Jonas Brothers. I didn't even know who the Jonas Brothers were. Until she married one. The only thing I recognize Sophie Turner is Sansa Stark from GOT. But my Gf and I loved your reaction to this. Yeah Yeah. Four in a row that we watched. Twisters , Star Trek, Close Encounters. Now this X-Men.

2024-08-21 04:27:40 +0000 UTCDon't forget New mutants.
Jayson Phillips
2024-08-21 04:01:44 +0000 UTCThe actor playing apocalypses is same actor from star wars that plays Poe and also plays moon knight.
Jayson Phillips
2024-08-21 04:01:29 +0000 UTCWell Fetch indeed! I remember really liking this film when it came out but haven't seen it since. It's still really good. Reminds me of Skyfall where at the end you see all the pieces come together and it... classic Bond. Well this is sorta the same for the X-Men. Bryan Singer directed the best of the original three and some of the best of the second series of X-films. The timeline re-boot messed with some people and though it was fairly epic it didn't compete with the MCU films at that time (Civil War, Infinity War etc.) Apocalypse is almost a Thanos like villain and in fact if they had done him in this movie the way they did him in those films (Motion capture etc.) it would've been waaaay more comic accurate. As is it's still pretty epic and sets up the X-team for future adventures. Thanks for the watch ladies, ya'll are always entertaining!
Matthew Gibson
2024-08-21 03:48:56 +0000 UTCThis is definitely the first of the steep decline for X-Men films - followed by the bad Dark Phoenix and the terrible New Mutants. Logan, Deadpool 2 then Deadpool & Wolverine is the way to go.
Walter
2024-08-21 03:21:01 +0000 UTCOh! Good point - I didn't think of that. Yes, definitely Logan next.
Walter
2024-08-21 03:18:56 +0000 UTCNice to be back for a watch along. Vacations are great but so is being back for a movie.. This one isn't my favorite but redeemable and worth a watch in my eyes.. bring on Logan!
Canadianant
2024-08-21 02:21:55 +0000 UTCOnly saw this once and remember nothing about it. Except I'm pretty sure the mutants' mansion blows up at some point. And super speedy guy has another epic scene cleaning it up? Or something? Maybe that's the wrong movie. To be honest all these films really start to blur together around this point.
Chris Thom
2024-08-21 01:49:32 +0000 UTCAgreed watch Logan next!
Galatron 117
2024-08-20 23:42:41 +0000 UTC@Richard using subtitles for TENET made the movie 10x better for me. So I get that totally. "badly mixed ones"
Philip Alan
2024-08-20 23:37:49 +0000 UTCSophie Turner= Sansa Stark from GOT. Before she married one of the Jonas Brothers she lived in England with 2-3 miles of my friends Airbnb.
Zachary K. (Verified Swiftie)
2024-08-20 23:12:18 +0000 UTCI think what annoyed me about this was Apocalypse rediculous looking suit. in the comics he's massive and hench in this he looks like he's a little kid wearing spoting an oversized collar. Great opening but for me it just lost steam.
rakesh
2024-08-20 23:12:11 +0000 UTCYes Logan must be watched befor Deadpool 2
Daniel jackson
2024-08-20 22:35:26 +0000 UTCThe thing which was the emotional anchorpoint for me in this movie was bringing back Moriah into the plot and her relationship with Charles. That made me care and made me invested. The rest of the film, I wasn't too interested in, although re-watches have made me care a little bit more. The first time I saw the scene where Erik loses his family it was out of context during a 15 min break while working as an usher at a movie theater, and it just felt so utterly tragic to me that is felt a bit silly. Like how you said about in Deadpool something to the effect of.... paraphrasing = 'so much blood that you can't take it seriously and it almost becomes a cartoon', this was so much trauma I couldn't take it seriously. Inventing a whole new family for Erik to lose before half the movie is over just so he'd feel bad enough to be villainous again. At the time it felt cheap to me, but as I said, re-watches have made me more sentimental and empathic, along with the realization that his daughter is reaching out to him the same way he reached out to his mother.
YodatheHobbit
2024-08-20 22:32:48 +0000 UTCAn elaborate origin story of Charles' bald head Charles' old friends from Oxford might ask, 'So what happened to your hair then?' And he'd reply, 'Well that story begins thousands of years ago, in ancient Egypt...'
Butt Head
2024-08-20 22:26:10 +0000 UTCThis is going to be a tough one to revisit with you ladies (although not as tough as DARK PHOENIX). The only thing I remember liking was the Quicksilver scene. Looking forward to LOGAN (your next watch, has other people here have already said... nor DEADPOOL 2).
Stick Figure Studios
2024-08-20 21:58:21 +0000 UTCWhat's also sad is that this could've been a great movie, but they botched so much. I read about some of the behind the scenes stuff and had a few friends at Marvel at time. As mentioned JLaw was a head case and a diva, but she looked like Mr. Rogers compared to the human meltdown that was Bryan Singer (at least from some of the day-to-day stories I heard). He was supposed to keep the momentum going after DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, but he's really responsible for making this mess more than anyone. Sad, because Apocalypse was one of those comic book villains like Doom who could just scare the reader by showing up on a page.
Above Average Dave
2024-08-20 19:15:13 +0000 UTCHe's great as Moon Knight, even though they're not doing justice to Marc Spector.
Above Average Dave
2024-08-20 19:06:28 +0000 UTCLogan is the next movie. Don't watch Deadpool 2 next. It has a bunch of spoilers for Logan in it.
Israel
2024-08-20 18:09:43 +0000 UTCDon't have much to say about this one. It is exhausting, and like Cassie and Carly said, a bit much. Another fun watch with the sisters.
Mike LL
2024-08-20 16:49:50 +0000 UTCWith the sound design of modern movies, subtitles are essential for me. I wish I had them in the movie theater, so I could actually understand the dialogue! Although I must admit, the last movie I saw in the theater Deadpool & Wolverine, it was pretty good. But I hate the sound design of modern movies.
Mike LL
2024-08-20 16:48:56 +0000 UTCYeah, he virtually unrecognisable, but once you know it's him you can see it. I also need to catch up on those Dunes.

Richard Maurer
2024-08-20 15:47:36 +0000 UTCThis was one of my least favorites. Also, I highly recommend skipping The New Mutants, not a good movie and very little story-wise connected to the other films.
Adam Doyle
2024-08-20 15:26:39 +0000 UTCThis one and Dark Phoenix has a huge drop in quality Imo, I don’t mind some of this one though and what they tried to do. But when I re-watch Dark Phoenix with your reaction that will be an interesting watch as I hated it in the cinema and I’ve not watched it since. I can fully understand why you where confused lol. I also thought Sophie Turner was a bad choice for Jean, they have never got Cyclops correct and I also hated how they wrote Mystique in this and especially Dark Phoenix because they only made her into a good character just because Jennifer Lawrence was playing her. Which I’ll never get on board with especially one of the lines from Dark Phoenix or it could be this one I can’t remember. But I’ll be watching it later today.

Nathan Jasper, the Artist Formerly Known as Primary
2024-08-20 14:45:11 +0000 UTCThis film lost all credibility with me when they chose to use their “comic relief F bomb” in the most intensely emotional scene. Completely took me out of it, and I was just barely holding on anyways.
Larry Darrell
2024-08-20 14:39:33 +0000 UTCSubtitles are for foreign films. Or badly mixed ones.
Richard Maurer
2024-08-20 14:14:53 +0000 UTCI would def watch that!
Cassie
2024-08-20 14:14:37 +0000 UTCThis actually really does help thank you!
Cassie
2024-08-20 14:14:08 +0000 UTCWouldn't hurt to watch Loki season 2, just because it's good.
Richard Maurer
2024-08-20 14:12:33 +0000 UTCIf they have to (I'm not convinced of that) then they should do it after Logan and Deadpool II (and Cassie should watch DP II alone).
Richard Maurer
2024-08-20 14:10:46 +0000 UTCTHAT WAS OSCAR ISSAC!? POE AND OUR DUKE?? WOW!
Cassie
2024-08-20 14:08:16 +0000 UTCOr, basically, there are a bunch of different timelines so it's best not to worry about it too much.
Richard Maurer
2024-08-20 14:08:06 +0000 UTCThe Marvel Comics rabbit hole only leads to madness! Beware!
Richard Maurer
2024-08-20 14:05:36 +0000 UTCIt has some good points, but overall it doesn't really work. Reminds me a lot of the DCEU movies in that respect.
Richard Maurer
2024-08-20 14:03:18 +0000 UTCBasically the only way to make sense of this mess at this point is that there are a bunch of different timelines here especially with Dark Phoenix following Logan and the deadpool movies. Also the first three movies weren't wiped out, they just exist on a different timeline.
Richard Maurer
2024-08-20 14:00:04 +0000 UTC"He's not cute"... that cracked me up when "Apocalypse" first arrived. Mainly because I think Cassie has the exact opposite opinion of "Poe Dameron" from the sequel "Star Wars" trilogy who is played by the same actor, and a fine actor at that, Oscar Isaac. He wasn't a fan of the outfit as it was so heavy and cumbersome, which if I recall correctly is a reason why he is not overly physical in the movie. You can't think about the timelines too much either not only was it altered in "days of future past", but they also jump jump 10 years forward from each movie in this block of 3 from "First class" to this one.
Mojo One Thousand
2024-08-20 13:36:30 +0000 UTCThe "deification of Mystique" started out the back of "Days of future past" and I think it was driven a bit by J. Law behind the scenes, my understanding was she was getting a bit too big for her britches, and starting to try and impose herself creatively as she was one of the most bankable stars a the time.
Mojo One Thousand
2024-08-20 13:25:34 +0000 UTCI was going to say the same thing, it was always going to be tough for to recognise Oscar Isaac in the the "Apocalypse" get-up.
Mojo One Thousand
2024-08-20 13:17:47 +0000 UTCIn a word or few. 🤣
Above Average Dave
2024-08-20 12:56:15 +0000 UTCA little clarifications of some things as I understand them which you might be unsure about - Jean restored some of, but not all of the memories Logan lost, although how he lost them in this timeline, I'm not sure since he hasn't been shot in the head with the adamantium bullets by striker. This timeline is an alternate past, changed because Mystique saved the president instead of killing Trask, so now she can be a part of the X-Men instead of part of Eric's brotherhood of mutants, also so characters which met for the first time at specific points in the previous future, now sometimes meet each other for the first time earlier under different circumstances. None of this film's events happened of course in the past of the previous original first 3 X-Men film's alternate future, so we don't know exactly what the future holds in store, other than Logan waking up and being at the mansion with Professor X, Scott, Jean, Storm, etc. Even though Mystique appearing as Col. Striker at the end of Days of Future Past saved Logan, like she did for Kurt in THIS film, Striker still got him somehow in this alternate timeline which is different than the circumstances in which he got his claws in X-Men Origins Wolverine. The two different versions of him getting adamantium claws both happened in 1979 as far as I can tell from what I've read up, but perhaps this time it didn't involve Kayla or his brother, or possibly did, but in different unknown ways. In the comics and cartoon Logan's relationship with them both of them were false implanted memories to cover up the real memories of the murder missions they were sent on in the Weapon X program lies, based on partial truths. (at least that's what I remember, I need to rewatch that episode for the first time in like 20 years, lol). Update: just rewatched that cartoon episode which is about similar events which happened in Origins Wolverine, (Weapon X, Lies, and Videotape). Some of the imagery and basic concepts are quite similar to the movie, like him and Kayla(Silverfox) driving around in Canada, the idea of her and his relationship being "fake". Both the movie and episode give me the same emotions. Probably why like like the movie more than others. Being only a 20 mins long cartoon episode, it's impressive the information and emotional state it can put a person in. It uses very melancholy and contemplative early 90s "world" music in the background to help. What's nuts is that in the cartoon even THEY don't know if what they remember about their relationship is real or just false memories. Although Victor's appearance is pretty dissimilar, his attitude and presence is quite similar to the movie.
YodatheHobbit
2024-08-20 12:47:04 +0000 UTCIt COULD be the bland villain, continued poor execution of The Phoenix, inconsistent actions of the main cast, deification of Mystique, paper thin plot, or the fact the actors were just over it because Fox was sold before this came out. Fight scenes were fun though, must be a good film.
aarswft
2024-08-20 12:38:29 +0000 UTC"Logan" is next. "Deadpool 2" contains HUGE spoilers for "Logan", as well as "John Wick" spoilers for Carly, so "Logan" before "Deadpool 2"
JAKH
2024-08-20 09:18:23 +0000 UTCYes!
Odd Thomas
2024-08-20 08:59:09 +0000 UTCPlease continue with Dark Phoenix. I genuinely don't get why people slate that movie.
Odd Thomas
2024-08-20 08:58:23 +0000 UTCI was only referring to me watching movies. Cassie using subtitles makes no difference to me. I never notice it actually.
Shawn Kildal
2024-08-20 08:24:51 +0000 UTCI'm the president of that club. I was slightly bothered sometimes when Cassie would be staring at the bottom of the screen, through a whole scene, reading the subtitles when I wanted her to see the acting that was going on in a certain scene. Very minor problem. I got over it real quick.
Philip Alan
2024-08-20 08:10:08 +0000 UTCYet another episode of Star Trek TOS being shown in the background in an X-Men movie.
Shawn Kildal
2024-08-20 06:58:40 +0000 UTCNo subtitles for me. I don't want to see any dialog before it is spoken or advert my eyes away from any facial expressions.
Shawn Kildal
2024-08-20 06:15:49 +0000 UTCThey don’t need to watch Elektra. But Daredevil wouldn’t be bad.

Philip Alan
2024-08-20 05:57:42 +0000 UTCThey really need to watch Blade and Elektra as well, well i say they but Carly will probably not want to see Blade.
Jasbro
2024-08-20 04:29:38 +0000 UTCYou have to kind of go with the flow with the whole timeline, this one is not the worst of them all but its still a stinker, they really did our boy Apocalypse a great disservice with this movie, i only hope the MCU does him proper.
Jasbro
2024-08-20 04:28:24 +0000 UTCSome movie trivia for you Cassie. Richard Dreyfuss and Teri Garr did another movie together, 12 years later, called "Let It Ride".
Jorge De La Torriente
2024-08-20 04:06:58 +0000 UTCShe has seen Loki Season 1 which should be more than enough to watch Deadpool & Wolverine.
Cole Jennett
2024-08-20 04:02:21 +0000 UTCThe timeline stops making sense. Don't expect these characters to do the same events from the first three movies. Think of it as the an alternate 1980s because they changed the past. Like Back to the Future... Some things repeat, others change completely. Some people like Angel and Nightcrawler have completely different pasts now. You just gotta chalk it all up to time stuff. You may want to watch Loki before Deadpool & Wolverine which is suspected to come out on VOD late next month, maybe longer if it keeps crushing in theaters.

aarswft
2024-08-20 03:29:48 +0000 UTCLogan comes before Deadpool 2. There is a huge Logan spoiler in DP2 if you watch it first.
Brent Petty
2024-08-20 03:21:57 +0000 UTCYoure missing "Dark Pheonix" as the movie that comes after Logan, you gotta watch that too! :)
Aj R
2024-08-20 02:49:12 +0000 UTCPossible spoilers? I don't think there are but just in case I wanted to go ahead and put that disclaimer here. The timeline is not as confusing as people make it out to be. They try to overthink it and then they try to get everyone else to overthink it. But it's really simple. So in the prologue, X-Men Origins starts in the late 1800s and you see Logan and Victor fight in the Civil war, World War I, World War II, and gets captured in Vietnam. Joins Stryker's team, has enough, walks away. X-Men First Class takes place around this time as we see In First Class Eric and Charles walking to the bar to try to get Logan to help and Logan tells them to go about their merry way with a much more aggressive expression. In the original timeline, you have origins, first class, x-men, X-Men united, X-Men Last stand, Wolverine, Days of Future past. Days of future past sends Logan back in time to 1973 while he's still taking on a few jobs and hasn't moved to Canada to find his little lady yet. Now because of the disruption that going back in time causes, Victor never murders the crew, stryker never goes on his little weapon 11 experiment tirade. In fact, Days of Future past made stryker more aggressive in a sense and set in motion a changed timeline. So in the reset, you have the first third of X-Men origins, and first class, Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix, and some version of the original trilogy happens as well, Deadpool 1&2, a version of The Wolverine. The New mutants, logan, then Deadpool and Wolverine all happen after Deadpool 1 and 2 chronologically. So, simplified: X-Men Origins X-Men First Class X-Men X-Men United X-Men the Last Stand The Wolverine X-Men Days of Future Past *Timeline reset 1973 onward* X-Men Apocalypse Dark Phoenix *A version of the original trilogy happens but one where Jean doesn't die as we saw at the end of Days of Future Past that she was alive and a veraion of The Wolverine as well, just slightly changed* Deadpool Deadpool 2 The New Mutants Logan Deadpool and Wolverine
