Hopefully Jennifer Lawrence can go back to being a good actress given how involved she seems to be going off this trailer. She couldn't be more bored in "Days of Future Past".
...I'd like to say 'just like the audience', but that film was peculiarly positively received.
I suppose I am doing teh internetz thing of posting just to be negative, but, um, sod all the X-Men films, frankly. Self-serious nonsense, forever shackled to three founding films of deeply mixed quality that never knew they were going to be part of a longstanding continuity.
Those films - alongside Raimi's Spidey - helped pave the way for the MCU and Nolan's best DC films, but I don't believe it even begins to compare to those highlights; some of the casting's awful, many of the characters are terribly represented, and so the entire continuity feels like a sprawling mess, uncomfortably still a part of the old [crappy] guard, and the contemporary era where comicbook IP's are done justice. What's worse, is that I always preferred the X-Men on the page to the Avengers.
McAvoy (and Stewart) and Fassbender (and McKellen) are always great fun to watch, but almost every other element of those X-Men films past and present I could do without. The sooner it dies off and the whole X-Men IP is rebooted the better.
TLDR: grumble grumble...
