Really? Because it's the last two that have me ready to see what Fox can come up with.
The colour's nice, but the fact that they've given me movies I care about is more important.
Waiting to see the costumes in action before I judge too much.
Oh, absolutely, the designs need to be seen in context on screen before anyone can really judge, but I just admire that it seems they're finally getting it into their thick skulls that the X-Men have a history of colourful designs.
As for negativity towards the Fox franchise from beginning to present? Part of it's down to the fact that Fox continuity straddles the pre- and post- eras of Marvel Studio's MCU. In a world where no one knew any better... Fox are doing fine/okay/enough. But judged next to how Marvel Studios have approached comicbook adaptations? It's like night and day, good and bad, right and wrong. Marvel's fairly simple [not-so] secret formula amounted to; casting, understanding of character, and a plan for the longterm. Fox? Done goofed up on all three counts, right from the beginning - that's how you end up with a treckwreck of a plotline composed almost entirely of plotholes and because-reasons guff (DofP) designed to 'fix' what had been repeatedly smashed into the dirt... (also, what the hell was the point of rehiring Ellen Page to have Kitty do eff all? Page's Kitty being back was one thing I had looked forward to seeing, but they even screwed that up)
If Fox have to do some timeline hopping to render more faithful iterations of characters (e.g. what Apocalypse seems to be)? Then I'm fine with that. I'd prefer a complete do-over of the whole brand, but that's clearly not going to happen anytime soon.
