It would be a lie to say it wasn't entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (19 September 2016)

Greetings from Lithuania.
To my surprise (after reading some pretty bad reviews from critics) - i had a pretty good time watching "X-Men: Apocalypse" (2016). Because i'm not a fan, i was pretty lost at the beginning - although seeing all movies in the series i wasn't even sure what time line are we in it this time - its because previous film was so forgettable, i wasn't even sure what was going on in the beginning, when all of these x-men started to pop in on screen - like "wait - wasn't he or she a villain in some previous whatever it was movie?" Wasn't' he or she killed? Oh wait, this is a prequel. To a sequel? Wait, what?
About the best thing in this movie - with every performance of a brilliant Oscar Isaac i witness, the more i believe this man will hold Oscar statue pretty soon - it's just a question of when. Although under heavy make-up and costume, he was a superbly cool villain in my opinion, who just FELT as a total bad ass of bad asses - surely some better lines for him wouldn't have hurt, script isn't strongest in this movie, but it not bad at all either. Others were pretty good, but none of them really shined.
Overall, to be short as possible and honest, i'm not a fan of "X- Men" nor other Marvel superheroes. But it would be a lie to say i wasn't entertained for like 2 h 15 min. watching "X-Men: Apocalypse" (2016). It has lots of special effects, and they were solid. It also has pretty cool scene in the middle, when someone gets to save someone - nice stuff. Film also had a nicely paced plot, although there is a lot of going on in this movie, A LOT - it was nicely paced and i wasn't bored nor i lost my interest in watching it.
