seeing a lot of fan service shots here but not a lot of substance.
jean is not a clairvoyant and can't see the future. getting the basics like "who can do what" wrong is never a good sign and ruins suspense and tension if the plot hinges on what people can or can't do and suddenly any character can do anything you need them to. watching Kitty time travel Logan's mind in DoFP was a great example of this.
looks like there's lots of disposable mutants here again too. wonder how many of them die this time.
really like that they're showing Apoc's growth powers. still really not liking his costume design. i would have definitely preferred less egypt and more alien tech -- contrary to popular opinion, him being decked out in ancient Egyptian details makes no sense because while he's an ancient Egyptian in comics continuity, he's apparently not in this continuity AND his tech predates the entire culture anyhow. also, no clear shots to see what he looks like to avoid that controversy again... i assume they're working on fixing that.
a lot of the vfx look really poorly done like they were in first class. willing to be proven wrong but i doubt that will happen.
it does look like the emphasis is going back to the original class and supporting cast, which i like. and then introducing the second class. i like that so much. that's what we all always wanted i'd say.
i also like that it looks like they're using the X-men Evolution incarnation of the Four Horseman approach.
i'd really like to see Fox lose this license. hope i'm wrong but not optimistic.
