I think Sophie Turner is a bad Dark Phoenix (but a good actress on Game of Thrones. Not knocking her acting just her as Jean Grey). Jennifer Lawrence is terrible. Storm is flop. No interest in this coming Dark Phoenix movie.

However James McAvoy is ok and I like Fassbender as Magneto.

X-Men is in dire need of a reboot. Scrub the scripts. Drop the cast. Redo.

Well I imagine you're going to get your wish, considering the movement from Fox to Disney/Marvel.

Concerned about this. But we always have the animated series and old comic books.

I agree. It's just sad to me that Mystique has to be killed just to get rid of the stench of JL.

Fox made some bad choices in actresses for their X-Men Movies... Most of them just don't fit the roles and it seems rather obvious they only hired them for their names...

I also think Sophie Turner was a horrible choice for Dark Phoenix... and I also think Lawrence was a bad choice for Mystique.. Their look just doesn't match the character they're trying to play...

This is true

I'm being overly critical here

The bar is set pretty low from the last film. I hated that movie so much, it's rather silly how much anticipation I had for it [Apocalypse].

Yeah, I don't really see Sophie Turner as Jean Grey either.

It's funny, it made me realize I collect statues and not toys...so I guess thank you XM for bringing me back on the right track

The painted version is amazing but the dream variant makes it looks like a totally different statue! It’s breathtaking!

I wasn’t planning on getting this but now...which to choose???

This grail and statue of year material. By far best in show.

You can bash that Batman piece, but it’s a great damn sculpt. I will be the first to say the paints need to be tweeked (and I did in the XM thread). However the sculpt and art is something nobody else has ever done. So to compare it yet another Wolverine PF doesn’t dismiss that XM again gives collectors something new and different.
