Review of X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) by Martinex — 03 Jun 2016

Sadly this could have been a great movie but the producers are trying to do too much. There are at least five origin stories being told (or retold) in this movie and they are all done in such a convoluted, slapdash way that not only does it ruin this movie; it ruins my appreciation of previous efforts.

Strangely enough not being a fan of this series kind of helps the viewer because they really can't see how badly things were screwed up. I was really determined to ignore the critics on this one but frankly I think they weren't harsh enough in their criticism.
