Review of X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) by Max_Slat — 09 Mar 2017

Full of action, but without the soul: "X-Men: Apocalypse" is a perfect example of a movie replacing quantity over quality. The characters aren't well developed and the story is not as strong as the previous installments.

Without any sense of caring for the characters, the only thing we can say about the movie is that it is "okay." Yes, there are few action sequences here and there, but without any stakes involved, why do we care if they look cool or not? The weakest part of the movie is definitely it's villain, Apocalypse.

Now this is a bad guy who doesn't do anything throughout the movie. Yes, he might be strong and have unlimited powers, but the only thing he do is walk and talk, that's it. This is just plain lazy and boring.

Why should we, the audience, feel threatened by this character? Why the hell does he need these "Four Horsemen" when he has all of their powers combined? A waste of a character and a waste of an opportunity.

And don't get me started on the cgi. It's just plain bad...
