The 3rd movie is no longer the worst.

Rating: 1/10 (5 January 2017)

If I knew nothing about the X-Men, this would be a noisy, illogical waste of time and money. For X-Men fans, like myself, it is a supreme disappointment. The previous two movies were fun and focused on characters, but here good actors don't even get to play scenes together. I am not convinced Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy are ever in a studio together. X-Men Apocalypse reminds me of the 3rd Star Wars prequel, which is so busy trying to connect the dots of how we get from X-Men First Class to X-Men 1, there is no movie there.
Who cares how Charles lost his hair? What I want to know is why Storm is so useless on screen. She could barely beat Toad in the first movie and here she barely conjures a breeze and a few lightning bolts. About another dozen X-Men are mostly wasted too. How about just introducing a few at a time instead of all at once.
It is pretty arrogant that Bryan Singer includes a (spoiler) inside joke about the 3rd movie always being the worst and yet, this movie takes a major plot point (spoiler) from Superman IV (for all the kids out there who don't remember, that is the worst). This movie is tiring, tedious, and ultimately not even exciting.
