But for me, however, I only came to watch the CGIX-Men: Apocalypse is the kind of a movie that will make you remember all the good scenes, and you will forget why you hated it. But when you rewatch it you realise that nothing makes sense. But for me, however, I only came to watch the CGI stuff. I haven't read the source material. Neither do I have any idea about who Apocalypse is and what he wants. So I'm gonna judge this movie entirely based on what happens in it, how the CGI is and how all the characters are. And trust me, it fails in half the things.

So first of all, I really liked the idea of an ancient mutant coming out of Egypt to learn about the current affairs and then deciding to take over the world. Though I wouldn't have given any points to this movie for this plot since it's a comic book adaptation, I will still give it extra points for showing it so nicely. Then there was the scene where Cyclops gets his powers. I don't know why, but I used to think this scene was from X-Men Origins: Wolverine. So after that there's a scene where Magneto is shown to have given up his previous life and started living as a family man, but the mutant hunters storm his house and kill his family. I really found that scene emotional.

But after that the movie started feeling like it's crumbling down. The same Apocalypse who saves Storm by using sand to cut down everyone's head suddenly decides to never use this power. And also, what is a Storm with a mowahawk even doing in Egypt? It was never said that she's from there. There is a cage match between Warren Worthington III and Nightcrawler, and Mystique comes over there to get Nightcrawler out of there. But it doesn't make sense. How was Nightcrawler even captured in the first place? Couldn't he just teleport out of the cage? Also Mystique is someone completely different this time. I know she can change her look, but even her original look changes.

And then there's of course the most iconic scene of this movie: Quicksilver saving all the kids from the explosion! But later on the whole point of that scene gets ruined when the army comes up and captures them anyway. They are transported into a secret lab, and guess what? Wolverine is also there. He was obviously brought in there for a scene that could be shown in the trailer, because then he's gone and lost forever. So anyway, Charles is captured by Apocalypse, the good guys fight the evil guys, something something happy ending and that's it.

Most of the scenes in X-Men: Apocalypse were forgettable. The memorable scenes, well, I forgot they were from this movie. To write this review I had to watch Honest Trailers and Cinemasins just to remember what all happened in this movie. Like I said before, I used to think Scott getting his powers in the middle of the class was from X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I thought Quicksilver saving everyone was from Days of the Future Past. Same goes for the getting arrested scene, the Wolverine fight scene - I thought it was all from the prequel. Now I will have to edit my reviews for those movies too.… Expand

So, even without knowing much about the characters or their fictionalI am not very used to films that have characters from the comic book universe as their theme, but the quality and impact that some have had makes them a mandatory visit. So, even without knowing much about the characters or their fictional stories, I decided to watch the X-Men franchise films. This decision was followed by some reading about characters and films. I tried to follow more or less the chronological sequence of events, starting with the prequels.

This film follows the events of "Days of Future Past" and places the world again on the verge of an apocalypse when a millennial mutant wakes up from his sleep and decides to take the world for himself, and for a group of highly talented mutants that he will recruit.

Directed by Bryan Singer, it's a film that is not as good as the previous one, although it has a lot of good points. Critically edited, the film has a pleasant rhythm and has no dead moments but lost some quality by its average script, which starts from a good idea and fails to develop it. The connection to Ancient Egypt seems like an original and appealing way of introducing the story. Initially, I thought it sounded a little forced and out of place, but it ended up fitting in and making sense, in addition to allowing us an extraordinary opening scene, the most impactful of the franchise so far. The film has some memorable scenes, such as the rescue of the mansion's students while it explodes or the moment when Magneto confronts his childhood and devastates the concentration camp where he was imprisoned, but it also has badly used romantic sub-plots, almost forgotten amidst the action, and uninteresting humorous moments.

The cast is massively inherited from previous films and is composed of great actors, however it is easily felt that there are actors with very little to do and a lack of commitment and depth in the construction of the characters (probably due to the material given to the cast). The protagonist is the duo James McAvoy / Michael Fassbender and both actors shone. Sophie Turner, who gave life to Jean Gray, also had space and material to show her talent and Evan Peters revealed true charisma and brilliance. Hugh Jackman has a very brief appearance that links this film to his character's personal life story. Oscar Isaac gave life to the villain, a super-powerful millennial mutant committed to wiping out Humanity, but I didn't like what I saw: he is a really fearsome being, but he has a way of speaking and acting so affected that he seems overly artificial and theatrical. Nicholas Hoult, Rose Byrne, Ben Hardy, Alexandra Shipp, Olivia Munn, Lana Condor, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Lucas Till also appear in this film, but they have almost nothing to do and their roles are very limited. Jennifer Lawrence also seems to be left, not knowing what to do with her character, now that she has moved to the "good guys" side.

In addition to these merits, the film has excellent production values that should be highlighted. It is a Marvel film and there are huge millions of dollars involved, which is quite evident from the beginning. Visually it is a show in itself, with a very well thought out and conceived cinematography, in addition to great visual effects and the best CGI that money could buy. The scenes and action sequences are great and the effects are a bonus. As happened almost always in this franchise, the film has excellent scenarios and costumes, although I must advise everyone that the scenes related to Ancient Egypt are totally creative and there is not really an effort of historical rigor. I think it is fair to also greet the makeup department and the great soundtrack by John Ottman.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. X-MEN Apocalypse
Un excellent film de Bryan Singer (Xmen days of Future Past)
Doté de bons acteurs, j'ai adoré le méchant (sauf ça voix, bien que...) mais je n'aime pas Jennifer Lawrence. Pour les autres, pour moi c'est du tout bon.
Le film m'a plus car on apprend des choses [spoiler] comme "comment tornade a les cheveux blancs ? etc ..." [/spoiler] et c'est génial.
L'histoire est bien ficelé on s'attarde beaucoup plus sur les personnages que sur les scènes d'action ce qui est un bon point, mais qui me laisse sur ma faim en therme d'action.
[spoiler] La scène de Quicksilver est vraiment superbe. Elle gâche un peut l'événement supérieur, mais elle est très fun, du slow motion et du stop motion c'est magnifique. [/spoiler] -Pour les effets, certains font très "chip" c'est dommage. Le pire reste une scène de 5 secondes avec un bateau, en 2D il est flou et en 3D aussi.
-Je les vus dans les 2 versions et comparé à warcraft l'effet 3D et moins fort, mais il est plus travaillé ce qui fait que X Men est supérieur, ça ajoute de nombreux détails alors qu’en 2D ils sont difficilement perceptibles comme le planché détruit ou les "rays".
-Les musiques sont bonne surtout celle qui mettent durant le discours [spoiler] (la 7e symphonie de Beethoven) [/spoiler] et la scène de Quicksilver [spoiler] (Sweet Dreams) [/spoiler] -un très beau rendu Dolby Atmos

Je les vus deux fois et je vous le conseil… Expand

There are of courseI tend to keep an open mind when it comes to superhero films, critics can be hard and in the case of XM:A this is no exception. I would have to say this is the X-Men film in which the source material was most accurate. There are of course some blemishes, such as cheesy one-liners, Mystique hiding her blue-skin for fear of being recognized as well some characters being under-utilized, but if this had been the follow up to X2 back in 2006 fans and critics would be cheering. This film captured everything I loved about X-Men as a child, and though it may not have the full tour-de-force a Marvel Cinematic Universe film would have, it works.

Each X-Men Film creates a full chapter and makes the audience anticipate what will happen in the next. The critics mostly have been harsh on the fact the main villains are always mutants, however this speaks to the voice of what the X-Men are; people constantly trying to maintain peace within the World and in their own community. I am glad in the change in direction and the risk at making a fan serviced X-Men movie rather than a rehash of what worked in the past.… Expand

Esta película en concreto me apetecía visionarla por Sophie Turner para comprobar que tal funciona esta chica en la gran pantalla (no es porque sea super 'fanboy' de GoT). Y funciona bien, como el resto del "cast" que está a gran nivel sobretodo McAvoy y Fassbender. También en cierto modo, J. Lawrence. La película me parece correcta, me gustó más 'Dias del futuro pasado' pero aún así cumple las expectativas bastante bien y esta genial para pasar la tarde de un domingo. Mucha épica al final y, para mí a pesar de lo que se diga, un gran villano, bastante competente. Lo único que no me gusta es: que en algunos puntos la película se vuelve como muy friki con tantos "bichos de colores" pero es un "pero" mío que si veo esta película tengo que asumir. Pero ningún fallo obvio en líneas generales. Buen trabajo de Singer.… Expand

O vilão Apocalypse por exemplo é um temivel adversário nos quadradinhos e isso não é passado para o filme onde só mesmo no fim senti algo de assustador vindo dele. Quanto ao resto do elenco algumas escolhas eu adoro como o professor xavier, Raven ou o Speed mas outros não encaixam tais como Magneto, Jane.

Essentially it's aApocalypse gives us the first X-Men movie to feature a classic lineup of the characters coming together in their teenage years to fight evil under the guidance on Prof. Xavier while not being overshadowed by Wolverine. Essentially it's a close as we've gotten to the X-Men film we've all wanted for years now. However given how many steps forward the superhero movie genre has taken over the years, and Brian Singer's reliance on standard tropes, Apocalypse ends up being an odd mixture of better late than never, and too little, too late.

There's a lot to like about Apocalypse. We get the return of the great cast from First Class and DoFP like Fassbender and McAvoy, Sophie Turner's Jean Grey, Evan Peters continually enjoyable Quicksilver complete with more of those amazing super-speed action sequences, and it doesn't crap all over Cyclops. It's got some of the best portrayals of these X-Men characters we've seen onscreen so far. The interpretations still aren't perfect mind you. DoFP couldn't fix everything, so things like age and timeline discrepancies keep things from being just as every comic book fan wants to see it. Nothing short of a reboot of the series will fix that. However, this is still the best we've gotten so far in that department.

Given that Apocalypse seemingly does so much right by making good on the promise DoFP set the series up for, what keeps it from achieving greatness? That answer is simply that it's too familiar. With the MCU dominating theatres, the DCEU getting up and running, and the X-Men's own lengthy presence on the silver screen we've seen a lot of villains want to destroy the world. And quite frankly, they were more interesting than Apocalypse.

The movie just has a very bland villain. Plus we already know how the fight turns out, so Apocalypse just ends up coming off as some dude who isn't really a threat whose sole purpose is just to break stuff. Then there's how underdeveloped he is.

The action itself falls short as well. This is a bunch of special effects driven destruction. The likes of which we've seen in a lot of superhero films lately. Not even the constant display and barrage of these character's powers carries the same level of excitement as before. The action still isn't boring to watch, but it's certainly going through the established motions. Then there's the fact that a lot of these special effects look cheap and dated, particularly in the first half of the movie.

What hurts Apocalypse the most is simply superhero fatigue. Brain Singer and FOX do their best to give us the X-Men movie we should've received in the first place all those years ago. For the most part they succeed. The issue it's a little late to do that. The superhero genre has taken off and reached heights one could hardly believe. Going back to basics wounds them here. They got off to their post-DoFP timeline with a shaky start.

Does any of this mean Apocalypse is an outright bad movie? No, it's just behind the times. A flaw that's easier to forgive when you consider this is a close as we've come to that perfect X-Men lineup. There's a sort of classic X-Men feel to it and it's just nice to see a lot of the original characters like Cyclops, Nightcrawler, and Storm get some real screen-time and actually take part in the action without Hugh Jackman's Wolverine hogging the spotlight. So yeah, it's the most admirable attempt at giving us the perfect X-Men movie that's sadly flawed in key areas. For some this simply isn't going to be enough. For others like myself this will still be a respectable and enjoyable movie. One that still manages to entertain for (finally!) exploring other, original X-Men. The series things to make up for, but it certainly looks like they're trying. The future still has the potential to be bright for these characters.

X-men Apocalypse is a decent follow up to the events of First Class and Days of Future Past even if it doesn't quite reach the same bar as its predecessors.

The film does take some time to get rolling but I felt invested in most of the characters that were on the screen. This is because First Class and Days of Future past did such a wonderful job of setting certain characters up. McAvoy and Fassbender reprise their roles as Professor X and Magneto. Their chemistry is still strong and a great source of emotional investment. Jennifer Lawrence returns as Raven (Mystique) along with other familiar faces like Beast, Havoc, and Quicksilver. Quicksilver once again has a wonderful scene and I would go so far as to say it may even be better than the one in DoFP.

The villain Apocalypse is imposing and feels like a proper threat. To avoid spoilers, as the movie progresses the stakes are exponentially raised. His ensemble of disciples or 'four horsemen' so to speak are just kind of there and seem like they exist because the plot demands it. The only character of these four that receives any form of proper characterization is Fassbender's Magneto. The additions of characters like Angel, Psylocke and Storm feel a bit like they were thrown together in a hurry. Psylocke and Jubilee in particular felt entirely wasted.

Nightcrawler along with Quicksilver add some nice moments of levity. This levity balances out the destruction that happens elsewhere in the film. The score and visual effects are quite nice as well.

Apocalypse overall is a flawed but enjoyable film.… Expand

It's definitely worse than the prequels but not that awful either. Apocalypse turned out to be a disappointing villain (though I feel like Oscar Isaac did the best he could with the material given), plot was fairly weak, ugly cg floating rubbish and I still think the mystique makeup on Jennifer Lawrence looks terrible. But overall I quite enjoyed the movie: Magneto had a great arc, I liked the new young versions of the x-men and quicksilver is awesome as ever (plus a cool cameo of you know who). Want to give it a 7.5, but since metacritic doesn't allow decimals in userratings I'll round it up to 8.… Expand

It is directed by Brian Singer with a screenplay by Simon Kinberg. It stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac, Nicholas Hoult, Rose Byrne, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Olivia Munn and Lucas Till. In Apocalypse, the ancient mutant En Sabah Nur awakens in 1983 and plans to wipe out modern civilization and take over the world, leading the X-Men to try to stop him and defeat his team of renegade mutants. I personally loved this movie from beginning to the end. I started to get emotionally invested from the Magneto scene in the woods, and from then on it was just a thrill ride. The acting is absolutely great from everyone, starting with the always amazing Michael Fassbender, who is exceptional on the role as always. The newcomers all do a really good job with the stand out, Sophie Turner who definitely does not disappoint in the iconic role. Apocalypse, played by Oscar Isaac who is taking over the world by storm (in this movie quiet literally), looks really good on screen, and the acting by Oscar is fine and serviceable. What irritated me the most were the special effects, which certainly could and should have been better. Even First Class had better effects than Apocalypse, I mean it's not all bad, there are scene that are great to look at but sometimes it just lost me on all the obvious green screen. The music is undeniably good though, the main theme is great and memorable. It does also feel a bit too long, especially with all the leading up scenes, but overall this is a really well made and absolutely fun entry in the X-Men franchise. The new trilogy, First Class, Days of Future Past and Apocalypse, is most certainly one of the best superhero trilogies there are.… Expand

I am by no means a superhero fan, in fact, aside from Batman and the X-Men, I really don't care, but as someone who has been into X-Men since he was a kid, and seen just about everything, the day it came out, I really can't understand all the bad reviews and the complaints about violence towards women! This film has been called the worst X-Men film ever, nothing is worse than Last Stand, and as far as violence towards woman goes, there has always been fight scenes and there have always been male and female characters involved, in fact, X-Men has always received high praise for included female characters as equals, since the very beginning, so what is it, they aren't allowed to lose a fight? As far as the film goes, the story was terrific, the action sequences and special effects just continue to get better, and the introduction of Cyclopes (Tye Sheridan) and Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-Mcfee) into the prequel cast just made everything that much better. Without giving anything away, I will say that my one knock on the film would be in the ending. There was so much build-up around the character of Apocalypse and so much talk about how powerful he was. Half the film follows him as he gains power and puts his plan together, but the final battle, that determines the outcome of the film, didn't take very long at all. There was all this hype and build up to this ultimate battle, that could determine the fate of the world, and when it happened, the fans were left scratching their heads by how quickly it ended. Hopefully it was all done with a purpose, and we'll find out why in whatever comes next, but as it stands now, the ending of the film was extremely anti-climatic, besides that, I loved it! Apocalypse might not have been as good as First Class or Days of Future Past, but it certainly wasn't a stinker on the level of Last Stand, the way that most critics portrayed it to be.… Expand

My only gripe with him is that he didn't have an insurmountable feel. I would have like to have seen a few moments of complete despair where it seemed like he was un-defeatable.

The overall portrayal and casting of the characters was absolutely great. The Wolverine origin was spectacular and that sequence alone was better than the entire Origins movie. Over all a great film. brought me back to the 90's watching the animated series.… Expand

The Breakdown:

Story: 3.5/5

Strengths:
Pacing is fantastic.(Which can easily be a problem when involving so many characters.)
Great humor seasoned throughout.
Call backs to the previous films. Makes for a great bookend to this story arc.
Characters minus a few of the villains are handled extremely well

Weaknesses:
Apocalypse and Psylocke under developed
Quicksilver’s moment to shine tries too hard to out due his debut.
Moira (Rose Byrne) feel’s like a 5th wheel in the final act.

Characters: 4/5

Strengths:
Michael Fassbender continues to shine as Magneto
Josh Helm (Stryker) and Tye Sheridan (Cyclops) embody the performances of their predecessors.
Kodi Smit-MchPhee great take on Nightcrawler

Weaknesses:
The Pentagon Generals were very non-believable

Visuals: 3/5

Strengths:
Nod to the 90’s cartoon series uniforms

Weaknesses:
The special effects are very average and not polished.
There are multiple scenes that scream “we’re standing in front of a green screen”.
CGI moments that feel like they were done for television instead of a big budget summer film.
Apocalypse makeup and costume distract Oscar Isaac's performance

Bottom Line: 3.5/5

"X-Men Apocalypse" is a worthy edition to the franchise. The overall story and performances make up for the disappointing special effects. Oscar Isaac did what he could with Apocalypse but given more screen time and a better visual look he could have been an amazing villain. I look forward to what they do with the next outing with the Second Class of X-Men.

There is a post credit scene. Stay in your seats folks!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished watching it and I didn't even realise that it took 2.5h.

I'm not a diehard x-men fan and just occasionally watch these marvel movies as they come out, so my opinions about the movie are of a casual movie goer.

The movie doesn't need a "complicated" story like the Days of Future Past had to be good. A simple good vs evil is nice break from all that once in a while. Here we had a simple, but well working story.
The main villain is introduced and his powers are explained well ahead of time before he actually appears doing anything, but the intro is absolute gold.

I just felt that Apocalypse didn't really do anything really evil. He killed a dozen of normal people.
Magneto was ripping everything around the world apart. Apocalypse shot nukes into the space.
Wolverine killed a bunch of soldiers. Apocalypse enhanced Storms powers.… Expand

Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique has become a stronger character than ever, while Evan Peters' Quicksilver continues to steal the show. Michael Fassbender gives another strong performance as Magneto, continuing to make him a more believable character. I've read a lot of complaints that the villain was underdeveloped. Now, yes, he was a bit, but thanks to Oscar Isaac's menacing performance, he still serves his purpose. I did find it a tad overstuffed -Rose Byrne's character didn't really need to be in it- but all flaws aside, it was still very enjoyable. The new characters such as Nightcrawler were great, and it brings the "First Class" trilogy to a satisfying close. The final verdict: It's probably best suited to X-Men fans but for all its flaws, it's a fun entry to the franchise and better than the reviews would suggest. 7.5/10.… Expand

I think the issue was there were some characters that had some really great scenes and performances, and then there was some characters that just came off kind of bland. They didn't break those bland characters, but they just weren't able to elevate them so they were just alright. The main story was kind of bland as well, but it wasn't bad nor ridiculous.

The newest installation of the X-Men film franchise pits the "immortal" Apocalypse against our heroes. En Sabah Nur, the world's first mutant, was the ruler of Egypt thousands of years ago but was betrayed by his followers, buried under hisThe newest installation of the X-Men film franchise pits the "immortal" Apocalypse against our heroes. En Sabah Nur, the world's first mutant, was the ruler of Egypt thousands of years ago but was betrayed by his followers, buried under his temple.

He is rejuvenated when Moira McTaggert allows sunlight into the chamber, giving him new power and life. Apocalypse goes about recruiting new Horsemen in Storm, Psylocke, Angel and Magneto. The new team of X-Men, consisting of Professor X, Cyclops, Jean, Beast Mystique, Quicksilver and Nightcrawler, are tasked with saving the world from Apocalypse's "cleansing".

I'll start out with my negatives before going on to my positives.

I feel like Apocalypse was very misused and wasn't formidable. Seeing Apocalypse in the comics and even the 90's animated series, Apocalypse is an extremely powerful mutant and though his powers were impressive in the film, he himself didn't impose much of a threat to the X-Men. He mainly used the horsemen to do his bidding and set about destroying cities and landscapes. The fact that a teenage Nightcrawler was able to take the fight to him single-handedly goes to show how much he was powered down in the film. Apocalypse is a villain that could easily have been a threat in more than one film, much like Thanos being the "big bad" in the MCU.

I was a little confused as to why someone like Magneto would be given a plot line where he is living among humans and holding down a regular job, much like Wolverine in 'X-Men Origins', it just doesn't fit his character as someone who despises humanity and is always out to bring mutants to the forefront. The whole premise of his family being killed was to make it believable that he would become one of the Horsemen, which I wasn't a fan of. For a mutant that the X-Men nearly couldn't defeat in 'Days of Future Past', his teaming up with Apocalypse should have been game over, especially for a group of teenage X-Men.

For a movie with a villain like this, I felt like it lacked action. Sure, the destruction scenes were pretty cool, but the fight scenes were very lacking. The first half of the movie didn't have a lot of action and had a massive amount of dialogue. Sorry, but I don't want to see the X-Men just standing around talking while a 'God' is about to destroy the planet.

The entire X-Men film franchise, to me, has no direction. It jumps around in different time periods and has no problem disregarding continuity. 'Days of Future Past' essentially renders 'X3' and 'Origins' useless. It's like the team at Fox will continue to keep just pumping out different stories and plugging in characters and plots where they see fit, foregoing any kind of cohesion. Yes, seeing an 80's-style X-Men film was neat, but I don't want to keep going back to the past for this franchise. A modern story line is what this franchise needs, and if rebooting is necessary, I'd be all for it.

*Do we REALLY need to see the 'Dark Phoenix' plot again? Sure, it wasn't done well before, but I think there are other ways to make Jean interesting without recycling that plot again.

**Just because Jennifer Lawrence is playing Mystique does NOT mean she should be at the forefront of the franchise. Mystique was never one of my favorite characters and is given way too much to do only because of the star playing her.

***Storm was very under-utilized and was pretty much a non-factor.

Now, on to my positives.

The movie was visually pleasing. The massive destruction of cities and landmarks was really cool. The bright colors and humor made for a nice tone, especially set in the time period it was in. Though I didn't care for Magneto being a Horseman, his reasoning for doing so made sense within the context of the film.

I really liked Nightcrawler, I felt that his depiction was very accurate to his character as a meek, timid "person". His fight scenes with Angel were really cool, as he was "bamfing" all over the place.

I liked the younger X-Men finding their way and learning about their powers, but I feel like a movie of this magnitude wasn't the right place for it. A film with a lesser villain would have made more sense in its place.

James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender as Professor X and Magneto, respectively, are great. Getting to see those characters as younger men has been the highlight of the past 3 films. Sure, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan are phenomenal, but their ages make it too difficult to have them included in battle sequences.

I really liked the costumes, specifically at the end when we got comic-accurate ones, though it was just a quick glimpse. Though the black flight suits they were in were reminiscent of the black spandex of the first films, the design was cool. Psylocke was easily the most comic-accurate costume to date.… Expand

I would be wrong to make the practical costumes not my first glowing remark about this movie; seeing the actor’s faces and not a digital puppet made for great, and unfortunately unique experience. Oscar Issac stole the show with his performance as the titular villain, which was made all the better by it actually being his performance. While James Spader’s performance as Ultron in Age of Ultron was great, the fact I was looking at a cartoon did take away from it. By going with practical costumes X-Men solved a common problem and hopefully paved a way for future blockbusters to follow in their wake.
Oscar Issac wasn’t the only actor who delivered an amazing performance, all of the cast on a whole did. Michael Fassbender as Magneto gave a deep and sorrowful performance that could pull tears out of a statue. Sophie Turner has given me great hope for a Dark Phoenix storyline in the future, and Jame McAvoy continued to fill the shoes I thought no one could fill after Sir Patrick Steward left the role.
There were two characters in the movies whose amount a screen time shocked me, Olivia Munn’s Psylocke and Evan Peter’s Quicksilver. Quicksilver was given a much more important role than I had assumed, which was a great surprise. He was the comedic relief in the movie and unlike with most recent blockbusters he managed to not be cheesy and to be comedic, what a relief. As in Days of Future Past there was a long and incredible sequence with the silver speedster, this one better than the last; it might be worth the price of admission just for that one part.
I was disappointed that Olivia Munn’s character was as underutilized as it was. Seeing her do as many interviews as she did led me to assume she would of had a bigger role than “pose a couple of times and say this one thing.” Psylocke wasn’t the only character left underdeveloped; Angel and Storm both left me wanting more. While I understand that the movie was packed and that not every character could get a far reaching character arc it would have been nice to get to know these characters more intimately before the standard last act fight sequence.
After the climatic final fight and the dust settled the heroes returned home to their destroyed home, and I finally got to see something that I always wanted to see: the mansion being rebuilt. While it may sound stupid I always wanted to see how the mansion kept being rebuilt after the many times it’s been destroyed, and finally seeing it should’ve made me leave the theatre with a smile on my face.
What took that smile away from me was the post-credit sequence; for the past couple of years now my hatred of them has grown exponentially, it’s to the point that I prefer the Stan Lee cameos over them. This particular waste of time had no dialogue, was as vague as possible, and over in a flash. This will be the last one I wait through ten minutes of credits for and not just pull up on Youtube when I get home.
This movie grossly surpassed my expectations. Director Bryan Singer has once again delivered a fresh break from the Marvel cinematic factory with a movie that, despite its flaws, I’m sure I will watch again.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I must say that this movie is definitely fun to watch for core comic book fans, and fans of the X-Men cinematic universe. However, as a casual moviegoer, there lies quite a few problems, rendering it to mixed reviews and being the second lowest rated film (on Rotten Tomatoes) in the entire series. There weren't enough fights between the X-Men and Apocalypse, who again, sounded repetitive and boring most of the time. A lot of key X-Men themes were touched on and never explored again in the film. There was an obvious focus on the future of the X-Men series, rather than the Apocalypse they're facing now. It just didn't seem like the end of the world was near, and that is where my main problem lies with this movie. The inevitable comparisons to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Captain America: Civil War places this movie right in the middle. Apocalypse definitely accomplished more than Batman v Superman but it didn't deliver as well as Civil War did. All in all, X-Men: Apocalypse is a must see movie.

It starts off at a fine pacing with several pieces of subplots to reintroduce the old members, decently surface the villain but due to overloading of stories to tell, there's a lot of flaws especially at the final act as well as some underdeveloped new characters. The story still focuses on the three main characters - Xavier (Professor X), Erik (Magneto) and Raven (Mystique), all deliver promisingly just as previous installments that leads to a very engaging chemistry together with powerful scores by John Ottman, visually stunning effects and a number of fun moments delivered by both Professor X and Quicksilver (although the latter seems to steal the attention much better in two major scenes). The theme of hope might not be quite resonant this time and it might not be the best entry in the trilogy but overall it's more humanly emotional engaging and certainly one of the quite successful superhero trilogy reboot.… Expand

The only problems I really felt were timing and pacing issues. There were times when the movie felt like it was throwing a lot at you in a small amount of time, but as it went on I felt everything was explained pretty well. Also, it was pretty nice knowing about the X-Men before seeing this movie, but I feel people that don't know too much about X-Men can enjoy this movie just as much as I did. If you like X-Men or comic book movies in general I highly recommend X-Men Apocalypse!… Expand

Toss them in a blender and you have the inevitable fight to save the world. One of the things that makes this more enjoyable is that each hero's abilities are used in interesting ways, instead of the typical massively-destructive battles. The character interaction is usually engaging and best of all, there are no long scenes of metaphysical hand-wringing or interpersonal drama. Most of the encounters are brief and compelling. The action sequences are well staged, even sometimes cool. After 2.5 hours, the last 20 minutes drag down with muddy conclusions, but it's still one of my favorite superhero flix. Of course, stay thru the credits for a very confusing setup.… Expand

This is a great movie -- head and shoulders above other superhero movies that can only aspire to treat their central themes with the same regard and its characters with the same care. Critics who think otherwise just do not understand the X-Men.

The film does take some time to get rolling but I felt invested in most of the characters that were on the screen. This is because First Class and Days of Future past did such a wonderful job of setting certain characters up. McAvoy and Fassbender reprise their roles as Professor X and Magneto. Their chemistry is still strong and a great source of emotional investment. Jennifer Lawrence returns as Raven (Mystique) along with other familiar faces like Beast, Havoc, and Quicksilver. Quicksilver once again has a wonderful scene and I would go so far as to say it may even be better than the one in DoFP.

The villain Apocalypse is imposing and feels like a proper threat. To avoid spoilers, as the movie progresses the stakes are exponentially raised. His ensemble of disciples or 'four horsemen' so to speak are just kind of there and seem like they exist because the plot demands it. The only character of these four that receives any form of proper characterization is Fassbender's Magneto. The additions of characters like Angel, Psylocke and Storm feel a bit like they were thrown together in a hurry. Apparently there is another popular X-men character in the film that I completely missed.

Nightcrawler along with Quicksilver add some nice moments of levity. This levity balances out the destruction that happens elsewhere in the film. The score and visual effects are quite nice as well.

Apocalypse overall is a flawed but enjoyable film.… Expand

This movie's greatest asset was that its plot was well-defined from start to finish. There were a few 'bumps', such as the nature of Apocalypse's power transfer and his own backstory, but all-in-all it was carried across very well.

UnlikeThis movie's greatest asset was that its plot was well-defined from start to finish. There were a few 'bumps', such as the nature of Apocalypse's power transfer and his own backstory, but all-in-all it was carried across very well.

Unlike past movies, where focus was given to specific characters like Wolverine or Mystique, this one spread itself across a plethora of characters in excellent form. It also combined several subplots which developed alongside the main one; Jean's burdening powers, Storm's admiration for Mystique, Magneto's loss of his family, and Quicksilver's dilemma of telling the truth to Magneto. Apocalypse's views on the modern world were surprisingly developed, even the little details such as him needing to learn the modern language. While his motives and backstory were a tad weak, within the movie his desires were full, from wanting Xavier's powers as his own to his own narcissistic lack of care for his followers.

Unlike some of the past X-Men movies where the climax has been rushes or unsatisfactory this one pulled a complete home run with their rendition of the iconic "Rise of the Phoenix" element that was much awaited by fans of the original storylines. Sophie Turner managed to not just fill the shoes left by Famke Janssen, but also stand on her own as Jean Grey's storyline grew from what had been set in stone in previous movies.

The diversity of its characters was one of its strongest points. Even for those with minor roles there was depth and remarkably strong parallels to the original characters, from Nightcrawler, the inexperienced kid wanting to be accepted, to Storm, whose desire to be a hero overruled her loyalty to a cruel overlord. For what small elements it may have lacked in early beginning it made up for later on.

All in all, a truly remarkable movie and a perfect follow-up to the strong story of Days of Future Past. By far one of the best movies of the year.… Expand
