So it's not DOFP...

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 2016)

Godfather 2 is better than the original. Empire Strikes Back > Star Wars. The Matrix Reloaded isn't as good as the original but is still light years ahead of Revolutions. How many James Bond films are truly masterpieces? Yet they still keep making them for the fans. Not for the critics but for the fans. Critics are too cynical, too conditioned to highbrow interpretations of art, too self absorbed to judge what real people like us will like. Heck, they don't even pay to watch these movies. Some of the films that they rave about are stale, haughty and presumptuous. Everything can't be about aristocrats or politics or European art or have some life defining meaning in every story. X-men Apocalypse is not intended for snobs or wannabe museum curators or sommeliers or historians so please keep away.
