The latest movie in the X-Men franchise, Apocalypse, has just opened. Seen it yet? If you have, or if you are seeing it over the weekend, we want to know what you thought!
For the Hot Topic in SFX 276 (on sale 22 June), where readers discuss the biggest issues in sci-fi at the moment, we’re focusing on your reaction to the new X-Men movie. Most critics have been sniffy but are they right? Also, what kind of future do you think the X franchise has? Which characters deserve future outings (solo and group), and which ones should be quietly retired? With new movies on their way, and a TV series, Legion, can it be that Fox has a movie universe to rival Marvel’s? Or is it just too darn complicated?!
And looking at the X franchise as a whole, what are the movies that worked and the ones that didn’t? Who’s the better Professor Xavier, Patrick Stewart or James McAvoy? Has the franchise been faithful enough to the comics? Do you count Deadpool as a proper X-Men film? Is Wolverine’s retirement overdue? And (just one more question, honest) should the X-Men go out to play in the MCU?
We want to hear your opinions NOW! We'll pick the best comments to appear in the letters pages of the world's number one science fiction magazine.
