X No more Please ...

Rating: 5/10 (29 May 2016)

Well that was disappointing.
One of my favorite superhero films is X2, it was a fantastic film that somehow (in my opinion) has not been topped in the x men franchise. I assumed this film would be different what with such a great story ( GOD-LIKE APOCALYPSE recruiting 4 horse men) is every fan boys dream... him being one of the greatest villains ever, i read some of the reviews and decided to make an informed decision my self.
This is what I saw : Long film.. too many characters...flat boring under developed Disney villain ... and too much talking (until the final hour), so overall it underperformed. The cartoon version still remains better than this mess that really could have been done better.
There were some scenes that were fantastic, like for example QUICKSILVERS and the fight scenes were intense, especially the final climactic battle...yet through the film Magneto plays as better omnipresent villain than apocalypse and Psyloke truly underperformed with her 2 lines lol.
The film focused on turning Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique into the main hero given she's an Oscar winner, so they messed up what could have been a great villain and all for billing an actress most don't really care about.
Overall the one true thing (and this is a spoiler) that i enjoyed was the future possible establishment of the PHOENIX SAGA... Sophie Turner as Phoenix was great! Yet it took long to get there ...
X2 came out years ago and ever since i have been disappointed by all the other x men films ...shame that trend continues and most likely will.
Final Grade C
