xmen : apocalypse?

I havent seen this yet, i will eventually, im just not inspired to go watch it at the theater. I was really looking forward to it but after watching the trailers i lost interest. It just looks mediocre. Based on the reviews and people ive talked to, it is. Not really bad but not good either. I like to make up my own mind about movies, but i may have been influenced a little by other peoples opinions. Im surprised nobody has posted anything yet, so i took the initiative and posted in the bad movies forum. I know some of you have seen this. Opinions?

I haven't seen it, and I have no plans on seeing it, and I have not seen any of the previous X-men films, nor do I have any plans to see any of the films to date, as next to the Fantastic 4, the X-men are my least favorite characters in the Marvel Universe, even in the comic books.

Unfortunately, there does seem to be a number of people who hope this film tanks, because if it does tank, 20th Century Fox, who apparently has the rights to the characters, will kick back the characters to Marvel, as seemingly what has happened, more or less, to Spiderman, whose rights to the character are apparently owned by Sony Columbia. If so we might get an Avengers vs. X-Men film. Something like what we saw in the comic book. Now the X-men vs. the Avengers, that I would pay to see.

I do plan to see it, although I'm not sure when this will happen.  A few weeks ago, I bought the Days of Future Past DVD to get ready for seeing Apocalypse, and I quite enjoyed it on the small screen.  Despite the ups and downs, I've enjoyed the X-Men movies over the years, as well as the Wolverine films, so I can't imagine Apocalypse being too bad.

I enjoyed it.  I wouldn't call it a good film, but it's consistently entertaining.  It helps a lot that I DO like the X-Men characters a lot - if you don't, I'd avoid it.

No one I know has seen it.  I doubt I'll watch it before it gets to Netflix, or something.
