Review of X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) by Paddyp — 06 Jun 2016

Critics are not too harsh! This movie might have a few great moments and the X-Men are well portrayed but in general the movie does not contain a plausible storyline and I never really felt any emotional connections to any of the characters.

The fact that a movie uses special effects well is not nearly enough to produce a great movie. One of my main issues is the villain itself. He spends half the movie creating new fancy looking pieces of armor for his randomly picked "powerful" followers and therefore was neither credible nor menacing in any way.

I enjoyed Deadpool, loved Civil Wars but I would not recommend watching this movie.
