Hello readers,
I finally got my ticket and just came back from watching X-Men: Apocalypse. Acting as the sequel and third film of the rebooted X-Men, the film follows the main antagonist, Apocalypse who wants to reclaim the world and make it great again.
X-Men: Apocalypse starred James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and other familiar cast members from X-Men: Days of Future Past including the cute, funny Quicksliver (played by Evan Peters). This film also introduced new young mutants who have yet to explore their abilities and work with its capabilities. According to some critics, they mentioned the film had overabundance of mutants that could distract the story. However, I disagree because the cast was just right and it is nothing compared to X-Men: The Last Stand.
To me, I felt this story kind of lack the same feel I got from the previous sequel. The distribution of screen time usually goes to the newer mutants and some other cast members have been shoved aside. On the other hand, at least Professor X had a huge battle with the villain in his head or something. Quicksliver was as funny as usual, especially the evacuating students and everyone out of the building while Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams played in the background. Magneto, had the saddest among everyone, losing his family to human's xenophobia over mutants and his previous activity (if you watched the last film). Since X-Men: First Class, humans are not accepting mutants and that never changed... Another impressive point in the film was the surprise cameo appearance of Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman. :)
Overall, I still enjoyed X-Men: Apocalypse. There is nothing much to say for this film, except the villains and all that. Right now, I am more curious about Essex Corps in the post credits scene and how it plays an important role in future X-Men related films...
Ratings: 6/10
P.S. I have already warned you that there is a post-credits scene, related to future X-Men films including next year's Wolverine sequel. It is also better that you watched X-Men: First Class onwards, to understand the characters' history and what happened.
