As this is the second of these that I’m covering I’ll direct you to my last article about it. Once you’ve read that you can join me with the new one below.

P.S. I know we’re going to get sod all Jubilee in this movie and I’m still angry about it.

– Walk Like An Egyptian

There are a lot of crazy elements to Apocalypse and his backstory. It seems they haven’t skimped on any of it and I’m really happy about that. Go on, lean in to all that mental Egyptian technology nuttiness.

– With Arms Wide Open

I like that we’re getting the Four Horsemen. I like that Angel is one of them. He gets slightly more of a feature in this trailer which is good. And yeah, comics are silly looking sometimes, but it doesn’t mean you have to stand around like you’re in a Creed music video. That just looks awkward.

– Watch Us Wreck The Mic… Cyc

I’m an unashamed Cyclops fan. So I have no guilt and need no explanation for including the following screen grab.

– My Munny Is On… OK Fine, I’ll Stop

Listen, I have a feeling I’m going to hate what they do with Psylocke in this movie but all props should be given to a pretty cool representation of her psy-sword and all awards should be given to Olivia Munn for having to spend any amount of time in the very comic accurate but ridiculous Psylocke outfit.

OVERALL: It looks good. It looks like it’s going to be very similar in quality to the last three X-Men films we’ve gotten, which is only a good thing. Who knows, maybe it can beat the “crappy third movie” curse that X-Men had the first time round. But honestly? I think I’m still personally on the fence.

We here at DOOM Towers love to hear from our visitors. Partially because we have low self esteem and need to be told we’re pretty, and partially because you obviously have good taste so we can trust your opinion.

As a result, I have been tasked with testing the cultural waters, delving into the myriad popular opinions, having a look-see at the things you like to see, and textually probing your prefrontal cortex for your preferences on various matters both culturally imperative and wantonly irrelevant…In other words asking a question that only you can answer. Some may call it a poll but I call it THE MONTHLY RECKONING (a.k.a. NOT-Poole’s Polls)

Or something like that.

This month, we ponder the end of days, since it is so very fast approaching. The apocalypse will probably not occur on December 21st, but its good to know where your priorities lie in desperate times. How would you like to spend your last hours being entertained? With only the first part of Tolkein’s There and Back Again? With secret agent-y explosions and spy-punching? With a kung-fu epic by GZA the genius? With a gripping musical about the French starring Wolverine and Catwoman? With the epic conclusion to a terrible…terrible movie series? With the comedy/caper/ensemble movie with a heck of a cast? Make your reckoning.
