The X-Men Cinematic Universe (General Discussion)

[Timby]

One person's opinion - an opinion that could land the person sharing it in jail - really doesn't mean anything whatsoever in regards to the film's quality.

One person's completely unverified opinion, in fact.

And now ScreenRant has decided this illegal 'scoop' is worth reporting on.

* sigh *

I'm still very much looking forward to Dark PhoeniX. Imagine reading a review from someone who passionately hated Into Darkness or The Last Jedi or [insert divisive film you like here] before you saw it. This is that.

 

[JD]

Yeah, I'm not going to let one random person's opinion of a rough cut effect my enthusiasm for this. I'm one of the few people who liked Apocalypse, so I'm also probably not holding as much of a grudge as some people might be.

It turns out that the person responsible for those "spoilers" is a crazy Internet Troll who goes by the Twitter handle of Atlanta Filming.

Could just be a cover-up. At this point FOX doesn't inspire confidence.

 

[crookeddy]

Or maybe it's because Dark Phoenix wasn't even that great a comic story either, and it's only adapted time and again because it's the only story Jean Grey has to her name.

Unpopular, but rather correct opinion.

Well, Dark Phoenix is going to be a trainwreck. The writer has one good X-Men movie to his name, DoFP, and his more recent work includes Apocalypse and Fant4stic, plus he wrote X-Men 3 and has never directed a movie before. Even if those leaks are fake, they were believable because the movie is probably going to resemble what it described, at least when it comes to how bad it is. Its really more the "how" of the bad that's the question at this point.

Looking back, even DOFP wasn't THAT good. Film is riddled with plot holes...heck, the entire movie is one big plot hole if you really think about it.

Whatever you say, dude.

What's this about an opinion landing someone in jail? Is it because they broke a confidentiality clause?

Yes.

The fact that this Atlanta Filming guy broke an NDA solely to try and undermine the credibility of a legitimate Hollywood "insider" was a really big "red flag", at least for me, and it's not the first time he's tried to do so.

Yes, but violating NDAs are a civil, not a criminal matter. It is, in essence, a contract between two parties, not a law or ordinance that has been broken. There is no jail time for a broken NDA, merely lawsuits and financial penalties (for example, it is possible that recent Survivor contestants broke their NDA for the coming season, and could face a $5 million fine from the producers, but not jail time).

That's what I thought.

[DigificWriter]

^ Okay, I clearly don't know as much about NDAs as I thought I did.

 

[Set Harth]

DOFP was excellent.

 

[Anwar]

DOFP was excellent.

The more and more I analyze it, the more plot holes I found. In some ways the entire premise of the movie is one big plot hole.

 

[Set Harth]

I only wish the blu-ray of the Rogue Cut was released in better condition.

 

[Starbreaker]

When did plot hole = things I don't like about a movie.
