I barely remember Apocalypse from the X-Men cartoon (almost never watched it; Spider-Man: TAS 4 lyfe) but he sounds like the guy who voices the Arbiter. They should just get him.
I actually liked Longshot. I had this Excalibur comic growing up that featured the X-Babies. Anyway this badass looking dude was hunting them down, and baby Longshot was the only to not get got (I think baby Storm kind of made it too, but was injured and knocked out).
that is my conflict I like Fassbender but him playing a villain that's suppose to show up 1-2 movies.
Its like Loki showing up in every Iron Man Captain America Thor and Avengers.
I hope not, time travel almost always weakens movies to me, especially in sequels and series. Personal opinion and all, but it makes any ending inherently non meaningful to me.
just saw DOFP. holy shit what a overhyped mess...well, not mess per se, it was ok but after Marvel has taken the reigns for their movies, and as a huge X-Men fan, I just cant take these Fox movies seriously Im sorry.
-Costumes still awful, Magneto was fine.
-Why the fuck does kitty have the power to send people's consciouness back in time? She can phase through objects, not "mind time travel"
-Quicksilver as a jokester didnt work for me. Neither did the little nod to him being Magneto's son, "haha my mom had a one night stand with you" if youre not going to do proper backstory, then dont do it at all. Also he's Flash-level of fast in the movie which is ridiculous.
-Sentinels...too little of the past ones, future ones looked too...weird, I guess they were going for a Nimrod vibe, I dunno. They looked creepy ill give them that. But those werent Sentinels.
-Blink was perfect, she was also completely out of place, does she even exist outside the age of apocalypse timeline?
-Characters still criminally underused and underpowered (Colossus and Iceman) and guys like Warpath and Sunspot just thrown in there for...reasons? Sunspot wasnt even named I think.
As a action movie, it was fine, but still nothing special. As an X-Men movie, especially after the proper Marvel stuff, like I said I just cant easily accept them as I did 1 and 2 because...well, we didnt have any better. As a "Fox X-Men" movie, I liked First Class better, and X2 is still the best.
At least it retconned X3. And yes im fully aware all my criticism is "comic book guy" level of nitpicky, but thats how I feel so what can I do.
edit: I liked the scene after the credits with
young Apocalypse, surprised he had the blue tinge and blue lips, still dont think they will do him justice, at least not to his comic look. We'll see.
Wait, I thought the point of DofP was to not only retcon X-Men 3 but also to go back to the old actors. So we aren't having the old X-Men as the main heroes in Apocalypse?
Ending plot twist: Young Cyclops, Young Jean Grey, and Young Storm had so much fun in the 1980's, they decide to alter the timeline again and put themselves, any character younger than 40, and Hugh Jackman into a slightly alternate present.

The Xmen series is like MGS/RE, the movies take place in "real time", meaning that Xmen 1 took place in about 2000. This was established by the official timeline they had for DOFP, which included all of the known government acknowledged mutant incidents. Cyclops, Jean, and Storm were portrayed in their 30s in those films, Iceman and Rogue as teenagers. Having the same actors in 1983 would be...difficult.
