X-MEN: APOCALYPSE
WHAT WORKED & WHAT DIDN'T By Jeremius
"The third one is the worst" kinda close, Jean. X-Men Apocalypse has been released, and no one can bloody decide whether it's good or bad, and the mixed reviews prove it.
I am an X-Men fan all my life, and Singer doesn't have a good history of treating the source correctly, but let's just examine this blockbuster which has the internet split in the middle.
This movie is cliche, notorious and using the same things everyone has seen and unforgivingly raising it's middle finger to the audience.
AN ALL-AROUND LOOK INTO THE MOVIE
The movie is filled with characters, and some are just there, not much to offer (Moira McTaggert is just useless) while some are given good attention, some are so badly used and just put there for to make fans of the original see this movie, alteast, i think that's why they put Jubille in here.
The only character i'm gonna say was given development is Cyclops, and i am a known Cyclops fan, but he's mostly boring, but the performance was good, but his first scene was just so badly written. That's this film's problem. It's not well-written. Like the writer can't even find a purpose to put most of the character he used in this film. Jean Grey was a good character, but her meeting with Cyclops was so cliche, i could not help but think of walking out of this movie, because if they use the 'they bump into each other and oh, no her books fall" cliche, i am not giving two hours and + to a movie like that.
Magneto was a character i liked, but the end was just saying 'oh, Magneto is good, now' and nobody gave a crap he almost destroyed the world, there is some writing even Michael Fassbender could not save. There are so much plotholes to shake an Apocalypse at, like Apocalypse's nuke plan, which was so balls-to-the-walls crazy and gave me hope for the ending but sends them out to space! FACEPALM. But let's just
WHAT WORKED
-
Good dynamic between the new X-Men
-
A satisfying end credits scene
-
The X-Men suits at the end.
-
Wolverine's bloody entrance
-
Magneto's family scenes were just fantastic and emotional
WHAT DIDN'T WORK
-
-
Messy writing
-
Apocalypse was a weak, cliched and idiotic villain
-
Magneto's strange change of heart
-
Storm was a character that was just blunt and the world's worst pickpocketter
-
Plot-holes so 'WTF' you could shake an apocalypse at
-
An ending that was confusing and unsatisfactory
CONCLUSION
What Did YOU Think Of X-Men: Apocalypse? Did You Like It? Did You Hate It?
While it was an 'alright' movie, it's a mess of writing, characters and plot. While you should watch it, there's a chance you're gonna question most of the movie
