This is where you and me fundamentally disagree, brother.
IMO I have never gotten an X-Men film. The reason why I like X-Men: First Class is because for once it wasn't another Wolverine and friends movie. And the fact that they gave us fresh characters just to murder them before the next movie just to shoehorn Wolverine again pissed me off.
I get that.
I at least enjoyed the first two films. The third was... okay. I think it would have been much better with out the piss poorly handled Dark Phoenix sub-plot that amounted to precisely dick (that and I despise the Ultimate version of Phoenix).
Origins: Wolverine started off okay, but crashed and burned after he got the adamantium skeleton.
The Wolverine was much better but also still fell apart at the very end.
First Class bored me a little bit, but more importantly I really didn't like how the majority of the character were handled at all... which was the main reason for the boredom and lack of interest.
Days of Future Past was a good movie. Definitely better than Last Stand, but not as enjoyable as the first two films for me... mostly because of too much of what I loved about the comic version of DoFP was kind of left out or shoved off to the side in favor of developing elements of the movie universe that I already wasn't liking (or was pissing me off).
Which is main reason I have so little interest in
X-Men: Age of Jennifer Lawrence... and really the future of the X-Men movie universe in general... at least the parts not being worked on by the people who made
Deadpool. Now you put those guys in charge of the X-Men movie universe as a whole and I'd get behind that in a heartbeat.
me and Sinister OWNED the FF board, BvS is just Butt-Hurt city right now, they're in denial and it's either funny or extremely sad they consider Snyder visionary
I just don't have the energy or tolerance to battle that type of *beep* anymore.
And I really don't have the patience to deal with any jackass who is going to try to tell me that Zack *beep* Snyder is a *beep* visionary. Yeah he has a vision alright, a vision to turn the entire DC universe into the Watchmen. *beep* him.
What reasons?
Well for
Avengers it was for the fun, the spectacle, the humor (so much missed in that first viewing because we and the audience were laughing so much).
For
Civil War it would just be about taking that journey once more in the theater (though I'll still watch the living hell out of it once it comes out on Blueray).

I was pissed off before the first one even opened, for the life of me I couldn't understand the suits. I am more forgiving of X-Men (2000) now when it comes to the costumes they use but they have no ****** ******* ********* ****** excuse to do *beep* costumes nowadays like Ivan Ooze's.

I cannot get for the life of me why self named CB fans can like Snyder's Superman? Or Punisher wannabe Batfleck.

3 times for me as of yesterday, I enjoyed every bit of it again.

I'm very forgiving of those earlier ones.
And besides Bishop and Quicksilver I found most of the more uniform costumes of
Days of Future Past to be rather good as well.
But I agree the ones for
Apocalypse do not look good at all for the most part. A few are okay but the rest are either just bad or look like someone doing decent cosplay (Psylocke for example) or bad cosplay rather than something anyone would actually wear. And I still hate the look they went for with Quicksilver.
They really should have kept the general costume design from
First Class or went with a design similar to the one used for some of the characters on
Agents of SHIELD (ex. Bobbi & Daisy).

What bothers me the most is how they try to justify it.
"Oh, Batman used to kill all the time in the comics."
Yeah from 1939 to 1940. One *beep* year where he acted more like your standard pulp comic character rather than the Batman he basically was from 1940 to... well today. So 76 years where his character has generally avoided lethal force unless absolutely necessary, moments of desperation, or by accident. Not where he went around recklessly gunning bad guys down with a machine gun and running them over with his car.
And I still find the majority of people who like Snyder's Superman, while they possibly are fans of DC comics they were not really fans of Superman per say and often found the traditional portrayal of the character to be boring.
