    Still trying to und4erstand parsing of movies when a lot goes into producing it? Past movies with awful graphics fair better giving them a break in some way! We're vultures pecking at the
    liver of Prometheus
    these days for some reason and give little credit for genius production values! ;-/

      Prometheus did have incredible production values and Michael Fassbender was awesome AGAIN as the 3rd best android I've ever seen on a screen. Bishop and Data being ahead of him.

        He wasn't talking about the movie Prometheus!
        He said viewers are akin to vultures picking at the liver of Prometheus (mythology).


        I am not a fan. I just happen to enjoy movies. Fans are embarrassing.

          Don't think good/bad is a concern of Magneto.
          He has a goal, that is to ensure the future of "his kind" (the mutants) and to reach that goal he turns against non-mutants as well as against other mutants that are in his way.
          I'm sure in this view his actions are necessary and justified. No bad or good guy problem.
          Also he's by far not so cruel as others - he got to know - who follow their own agenda. His personality was born from cruelty.
          However it seems with age he sees the advantages of Xavier's viewpoint of a more passive and peaceful way with each other.
          P.S.: He got shot by Mystique in his neck, there was no armor.

            Still, it's funny. He's all asking the President and his staff why they made the Sentinels to destroy mutants and he's standing there, after having isolated and cornered these incredibly powerful men and he's ready to execute them on TV. Jesus Christ, Erik. You really wonder why humans don't like you??

              Just watched
              Justice League: Throne of Atlantis (2015)

                The OP was referring to old Magneto getting stabbed with a sentinel fragment while guarding the temple.

                  Really?
                  The Sentinels get through anything anyway.
                  Why bother mention an armor there? Esp. since it's not known (at least not from the movies) what attributes those polymer have/give.

                    Um, that shrapnel was shot into Magneto far faster than a bullet. It would've penetrated most armor with the exception of adamantium of course.

                        I JUST re-watched this and, unless I missed something, during the Sentinel attack NOBODY died (or possibly was even hit by a bullet.) @ least with this viewing (& I've watched this dozens of times, LOVE IT!) it would seem that neither Mystique nor Magneto were actually 'out for blood,' they had simply seen & heard what Trask had planned (& accomplishes, in the future) & set out to discredit him. Magneto might not have even wanted more than a 'soapbox' on television on which to air his viewpoint after all he didn't press-on w/ his attack, right? MAJOR flaws were exposed within the sentinels in that they could be corrupted or over-ridden AND Trask was dealing 'under the table' w/ other countries illegally.
                        I fell asleep during INCEPTION BUT I FEEL like I still saw it!

                                Rogue was cut out
                                Watch the Rogue Cut then. Liked that one much better. Forget the theatrical release.
                                And at the end, everything is reset and we have to feel good about that? Am I alone in this?
                                I laughed bitterly because now they created the possibilities for new character fk ups. Which they certainly will do. New story, same sh*t at the end.
                                Was so uncool to "revive" them all.

                                  no. it's one of the worst comic book movies i've seen. i tried a lot to understand how people like the movie so much, but apparently, i don't get it. people complain so much about batman vs superman being lame when it should have been cool and ruining scenes from the dark knight returns and that's how i feel about this movie and respective comic.

                                    You like all the ignorant critics are clearly a shallow idiot. This movie has more visual depth in every shot than the entirety of Captain America: Civil War

                                      well, aren't you nice. who's the most shallow idiot? the one who has a different opinion or the one who crucifies the first for having a different opinion?
                                      just for the record, never was a captain murica fan, so i don't even bother with those kinds of movies.

                                        If you knew what I know about the use of cinematography to tell a story, create character, create moods, ideas, etc, you would not be able to trash this CBM masterpiece.

                                          have you considered that maybe i know even more? maybe i'm a producer. maybe i'm a writer. maybe i'm an actor. maybe i had to study cinema because of some other class i took and actually ended up working with movies. or maybe i'm just a random guy on the internet. it doesn't matter. would you walk up to robert zemekis and say he doesn't know beep about cinema, just because he doesn't like a movie you like? i'd like to see that.
                                          you don't have to minimize others to make yourself feel better about your own opinions. if your opinion was ever strong to begin with, it should not be bothered by what i say. you can say the same about me, however, you could be david lynch, for all i care, because i accept your opinion, but i don't have to agree with it.
