X-Men: Apocalypse

Watching Apocalypse, you don’t feel as if every character is being set up for his or her own spinoff. They complement one another. They need one another. The overflowing ensemble nature of the enterprise is the whole point.

I enjoyed the energy of the film, and the cast is pretty solid throughout, but there’s a big problem that is inherent to the idea that we have to make these films bigger and bigger to outdo things that have come before.

For deeply steeped Marvel Comics aficionados it will probably be fairly satisfying, and there’s no reason on earth why anyone else should even bother.

Mostly, though, it’s the same old story: Bad mutants versus good mutants, with the fate of us humans — mostly off-screen, disturbingly expendable — hanging in the balance.

The epic effects, titanic struggles and ever-evolving line-up of characters of "Apocalypse," coming hot on the heels of “Civil War” and “Batman v. Superman” and “Deadpool,” underline the exhausted ingredients of the formula these movies all use. The filmmakers strain to find something new to do with them, and watching them try too hard is wearying.

Better than Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but not by an awful lot, and vastly less entertaining than Marvel’s current Captain America smash, it’s also curiously more sadistic, and seemingly less bothered about large-scale human fallout, than this once-spirited series used to be. Apocalypse isn’t quite the end of the world for X-Men fans, but it might be the end of the line.

X-Men: Apocalypse is a confused, bloated mess of a film.

Worst xmen film but worth giving it a try if you liked the other xmen films i did its better then first class also

Yeah I am not sure what happened here but this just went completely off the rails from what we were getting just a few years ago. It's ok but it isn't great.

It does enough things right to be watchable, but this is one of the low points of the X-Men film franchise. Apocalypse is laughably bad (and with Oscar Isaac even!!!), the new cast isn't inspiring outside of Sophie Turner, the old cast looks ready to move on, Magneto's whole story is unnecessary. The handling of the source material is miserable. Having said that, there is another nifty Quicksilver scene and Logan gets to show off his battle rage. My lizard brain was satisfied enough with violence for this not to be a total tire fire. Nice tease at the end, too.

This is where it all fell apart. This movie is very boring and Apocalypse himself is a joke. The action scenes were underwhelming too. I don't understand why the creators stuck to the past timeline, it's such a weird choice in this case. You don't miss out on much if you don't watch it.

As much as I loathed Logan it tried to be a movie. This movie is the creative level of children writing in crayon and bashing action figures together.
