Perfect adaptation from the age old cartoon

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2016)

This movie met and exceeded my every expectation for the Apocalypse villain story-line. I only had vague memories of the cartoon but this movie amplified them to a new extreme. And my one stipulation, that Apocalypse be, by far, the strongest and most bad-ass mutant ever but still with a rational plan and an undeterable love of his mutant brethren, was easily satisfied. The one thing I remember thinking, about halfway through the movie, is this going to be a two-parter? But whether or not that is the case this movie ended with no disappointments. And if you like the movie and the X-men mythos you'll want to stay through the end of the credits because there is a little bit that implies what the next story-line will be about.
