Had high hopes for Apocalypse and it was a huge let down.

Rating: 6/10 (30 May 2016)

-SPOILERS-
I want to start by saying what is good about the film before explaining why I gave it a 6/10. First off, being able to see Wolverine in a short scene made the movie much more interesting. Some of the CGI and effects are good and very enjoyable. The acting was good but some of the dialogue was weird and unnatural.
The main issue with the movie is Apocalypse himself. He's supposedly very strong and powerful but the movie fails to convince me as such. We all know Apocalypse is strong and what he is capable of, but the movie does a poor job at translating that into picture time. He spends most of the movie talking or walking around, getting all of his 'followers' to do most of the work. We do not see what he is truly capable of and the way he was defeated was rather pathetic.
Apocalypse's power is that he is able to amass other mutant's powers and combine it with his own, growing more powerful as time goes on. The problem: he is already powerful enough to destroy the whole world when you first see him. Yet, he wastes time trying to gather minions for no reason (actually, so they eventually turn against him and help defeat him). He tried to steal Xavier's powers in the middle of a fight when he knows there are tons of people right outside his door trying to murder him. During this time he is vulnerable and separated from his minions. While fighting with the X-Men they were eventually defeated and some of them even switched to the good side. Then Apocalypse shows up after his minions are wiped out to fight at a disadvantage is ends up losing. He could have easily wiped out everyone before he tried to take Xavier's powers and no one would be able to stop them. That would be more believable and realistic.
It's so disappointing to see an enemy with so much potential fall flat on his face because he cannot use 10% of his brain. I left the moving thinking Apocalypse deserved so much more than what they gave him.
