Better than I expected

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2016)

When I saw early glimpses of the film, I thought Apocalypse looked a bit naff, but Issac played him well. I especially like the darkness he brought to the character. Was a really entertaining film, the opening scene was done really well and set the pace which never lets up for long. Plenty of action scenes and fighting plus the CGI wasn't over bearing or too obvious.
I think the film was unfairly slammed by critics, a common critique was it had too many characters. I thought they had a pretty solid function in the story and weren't just thrown in like Ant man (Civil War)was seemingly kidnapped in a van and asked if he basically wanted to go on a mission that would put him on the most wanted list, which he did for no other reason because hes Ant man and hes funny. All in all a great edition to the X-men series, wonder how many prequels they will get out of it though seems never ending.
