The pacing may be inconsistent and Apocalypse may not be as interesting as he could've been, but X-Men Apocalypse was still a fun, fascinating, and overall solid movie experience that doesn't deserve the hate it's getting.

Apocalypse: "You follow blind leaders."

While X-Men: Apocalypse isn't quite as strong as 'Days of Future Past', with the storytelling and it's twist & turns, but it's still a solid entry in the saga. I have to admit, I was surprisinglyApocalypse: "You follow blind leaders."

While X-Men: Apocalypse isn't quite as strong as 'Days of Future Past', with the storytelling and it's twist & turns, but it's still a solid entry in the saga. I have to admit, I was surprisingly entertained with this movie which I didn't expect going in, since I wasn't expecting much with this movie. I had more fun with this than 'Civil War', and yes, I just said that and I'm not taking it back. The movie has it's flaws but at least I never bored watching the movie.

James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner and all of the other supporting cast were all great in their roles. I felt the emotion, the depth and the unexpected humor from the characters. Now when I think about it, all of the X-men characters in this and the past movies feel like actual characters to really care for. The movies themselves feel like actual movies and not just superhero films.

Oscar Isaac is such a terrific actor and I will always look forward to his next movie. In this film, Isaac plays Apocalypse (main villain of the film) and he was a pretty decent villain. He was very menacing with his own presence that actually made him quite treating, even tho he's motivates of destroying the world has been done before many times with other villains. Apocalypse isn't terrible or a weak villain as many critics have said, but I wouldn't rank him as the best one. I mean give Oscar Isaac a break, he had to act in all that make-up on him and he did the best he could, so there's that.

Some of the CGI in the film was very noticeable in a few scenes. But the effect's are not like that all the time, as there are many cool effect's in the film that did make me go "wow".

The movie dose take awhile to get going and I don't mean it was slow or anything like that, but I couldn't really care for what's going on in the first 30 minutes. But as the movie went along it started to get going and each scene was better as it went along.

Overall: X-men: Apocalypse is a very entertaining superhero movie that has it's pros and cons. I was surprised of how much I enjoyed this movie and how engaging I was. Oh, and Quick Sliver once again steals the show with an amazing slow motion sequence that easily tops 'Days of Future Past' slow mo scene. I can already tell a lot of people are going to be mixed with this movie after seeing the audience reaction (so far), but that's just opinions.

P.S. The film itself is much better then what the critics are making it out to be. Maybe it's because of the endless amount of superhero movies that are coming every week now. 'Civil War' is still being fresh in peoples heads. I mean the movie literally came out a few weeks ago.… 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

It's chaotic on a grand scale - possibly the most wide-scale destruction ever put onto screen. Not only is it visually stunning but the characters are surprisingly balanced for such an enormous cast. They're each given time to shine, especially the newcomers, and some of the best scenes of the movie are comprised of these brief character moments. For once it's fitting that the villain's motive is world domination; to see it come into fruition is truly a sight to behold. It's far from perfect, but no action superhero fan should miss out on Apocalypse.… 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

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.

The movie starts off on a high note, with a spectacular sequence set in Egypt that blew me away, and i mean BLEW me away! it felt like an adventure movie of some sort!
After that action-packed opening we start to follow Xavier and Magneto and all those familiar faces that once again, shine. The stand out of this movie, on my opinion, is McAvoy. The guy is great! He creates such a relatable Charles, and he is just very likable!
There are new faces, of course, and they all do a pretty good job with what they´re given. Sophie Turner in particular, her Jean Grey is very, very good.
There are these amazing set pieces throughout the movie and some really magnificent scenes. One in particular being the Quicksilver one, which is indeed the best i have ever seen from him.
Oscar Isaac´s Apocalypse is fine, although coming across as a bit cliché.
Overall, this was a fun movie, and yes, it has a lot of structural problems and some pacing issues, but just don´t dismiss this movie, while not great, it´s pretty good.… Expand

Apocalypse could have probably been done a bit better in terms of design and the plot seemed too simple or cliche. I loved Cyclops and Jean Greys characters. Magento and Xavier are well done also. Mystique should probably be recasted since Jennifer seems to have gotten to famous for her role. Overall a solid 7/10.

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

It is the ninth installment in the X-Men film series. Directed by Bryan Singer, with a screenplay by Simon Kinberg from a story conceived by Singer, Kinberg, Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris, the film features an ensemble cast starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac, Nicholas Hoult, Rose Byrne, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Olivia Munn and Lucas Till. In Apocalypse, ancient mutant Apocalypse awakens and plans to take over the world, so the X-Men need to stop him and defeat his team, the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse.

--Critical response:

-On Rotten Tomatoes the film has a rating of 59%, based on 61 reviews, with an average rating of 5.8/10. On Metacritic the film has a score of 51 out of 100, based on 24 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

-Mike LaSalle from the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film a positive review, calling it "a thinking person's action movie" and complimenting the movie for its high stakes. Bruce Kirkland from the Toronto Sun gave the film a positive review, acknowledging "Piece by piece, Singer fits this ninth film in the franchise (which includes Deadpool) into the X-Men universe like a master puzzle maker. He does it so well, at least in terms of storytelling, that the X-Men franchise still has a vigorous future."

-Mike Ryan of Uproxx gave the film a negative review, noting it felt redundant and stale, writing, "I get it: Life is hard for mutants. We all get it. It’s literally the only thing mutants ever seem to talk about. It is odd that other superheroes seem to get to have some fun, but never the X-Men. Here we are, 16 years later, and everyone involved is still sad. It feels repetitive." Scott Mendelson of Forbes noted the series felt repetitive, writing, "X-Men: Apocalypse is the kind of weightless, soulless trifle of a bore that makes comic book superhero movies look bad and makes me not look forward to the next installment."

--Sequel:

-In May 2016, Kinberg stated that the next X-Men film will be set in the 1990s. Kinberg has talk about redoing The Dark Phoenix Saga and Singer did want to do an X-Men movie in space.… Expand

By building on what's been established by the previous X-Men films (especially Days of Future Past and the terrific X-Men: First Class) Bryan Singer and crew are able to juggle a good handful of characters without losing sight of their personal struggles and motivations. Apocalypse is a megalomaniacal villain, and perhaps a bit too evil when compared to the series' more grounded/grey-area antagonists (especially from X2 and DOFP) but Oscar Isaac is commanding in the role and his..ehem.. "apocalyptic" plans for the world fit the grand scale of this story. In fact, what I liked most about X-Men: Apocalypse is how every element of this movie, the writing, characters, action, special effects all worked together; no scene felt wasted (even at a 144 minute run-time) and I was never confused as to the stakes that were raised by the narrative. I do wish this movie had a warmer reception, but I'm just glad I decided to give it a chance; I loved it!… Expand

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 give this movie 10/10 for branching elements for the plot properly, and the re-introduction of characters, and a film that's worthy for it's revised future. Not to mention those Quicksilver scenes, catching Nightcrawler's attention, and Apocalypse being the REAL first mutant villain. Just one flaw, the X-Men franchise still cannot make Archangel an X-Man.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bryan Singer's X-Men: Apocalypse is a film that gets a lot of mixed to negative reviews. Honestly, I think this is a pretty good film. I loved the characters, especially Evan Peters' Quicksilver, Michael Fassbender's Magneto, and James McAvoy's Charles Xavier. I even enjoyed that Weapon X cameo. Overall this film gets more hate than it deserves and I would say it's about an 8.6/10… Expand

The beginning felt too much like a cartoon, but once the title "X-Men: Apocalypse" pops up, the film INSTANTLY gets better.

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

The film was very good and spectacular. He reveals the story of many characters and gives them motivation. Visual effects are high, the villain looks fine too

X-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 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

It’s Alright
X-Men: Apocalypse definitely has a lot of flaws like choppy writing, a fairly bland villain, and some visual effects are iffy

It was an ok film. If you check your brain at the door and just go into it to enjoy the action, explosions, effects and mutant powers, you'll have fun.

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
