About this movie

Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel's X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

What is it with the X-Men movies that have to spend too much time on a characters power or how a character "acts upon" their power as opposed to just giving us the plot. This is the first time the director shows "Storm" using her power without having to focus on her eyes rolling back, a fog build-up around her, and moving so slowly. These X-Men movies are plague with this one example, thus causing "drag" while not allowing the plot be a plot. The movie drags on and on, other times its okay.

Firstly I'll say one good thing the acting was good mostly, however every character was dry no one was fleshed out. The plot was just atrocious to say it nicely. It was hard to pay attention because boredom set in fast and never left. You don't care about any character. The worst X men there is and it would be incredibly hard for another super hero movie to displace it from being the worst I've ever seen

How is it possible to make a x-men that us worse than Brett Ratner's X3? Bryan Singer sure found a way. The acting is so flat and boring. The story is almost non-existent, sams goes for character development. Can't even begin to get into whole time line thing. Singer isn't even trying to keep it all together, it's a mess. Just a flat out awful movie. They should just leave the x-men alone.
