Review of X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) by Findefaulted — 17 Jun 2016

I just finished watching it and I didn't even realise that it took 2.5h.

I'm not a diehard x-men fan and just occasionally watch these marvel movies as they come out, so my opinions about the movie are of a casual movie goer.

The movie doesn't need a "complicated" story like the Days of Future Past had to be good. A simple good vs evil is nice break from all that once in a while. Here we had a simple, but well working story.

The main villain is introduced and his powers are explained well ahead of time before he actually appears doing anything, but the intro is absolute gold.

I just felt that Apocalypse didn't really do anything really evil. He killed a dozen of normal people.

Magneto was ripping everything around the world apart. Apocalypse shot nukes into the space.

Wolverine killed a bunch of soldiers. Apocalypse enhanced Storms powers.
