X-Men Apocalypse disappoints those who became fans of X-Men series only because of DOFP. Visually stunning cliché.,

Rating: 6/10 (1 April 2017)

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016): Except for Wolverine and Mystique,I always lack interest in X-Men film series.When released amidst lot of super heroes season,I found nothing special in this over hyped X-Men series.But Days of Future Past entirely changed my opinion as that movie is not only the best entry in the series but also one of the best super-hero film of all time.It has abundant entertainment and complexity which made me intrigued to the series.Did Apocalypse gave me the same feel then?
Plot:
Since the dawn of existence, there has been an ancient being named En Sabah Nur (Oscar Issac) who is believed by many to be the world's very first mutant. Awakened in 1983 after thousands of years in a deep slumber, he plans to rule the world and wipe out mankind with help from four new recruits Storm (Alexandra Shipp), Psylocke (Olivia Munn), Angel (Ben Hardy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender).Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) has an issue with that, and alongside Raven (Jennifer Lawrence), and an array of younger X-Men, including Cyclops (Tye Sheridan), Jean Grey (Sophie Turner), Quicksilver (Evan Peters), and Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee), he looks to stop them.
Plus Points:
1)VFX: X-men Apocalypse is lot about destruction than intelligence.There are lot of heavy destruction scenes which are a treat for fans.VFX looked more cool in 3D.There are few pop out sequences especially during title credits and Angel's wing blades.But out of all,Quick Silver scored again with another mind blowing slow motion sequence.This may not be as best as DOFP but still it entertained.
2)Performances: All the actors gave their best for their roles.Michael Fassbender and McAvoy once again shined.But the real show stealer is Sophie Turner,Evan Peters and Tye Sheridan.Jennifer Lawrence is not so blue here and looks lovely.
3)Screenplay: Apocalypse is no such brain fodder like DOFP.This movie has clichéd screenplay but still it makes a entertaining one time watch.Audience never feels bored and good action scenes,humor and chemistry between all the actors played a key role in movie's engagement.
Minus Points:
1)Story: As I have said earlier,Apocalypse is a clichéd super hero film with a routine plot where a destruction master starts destructing everything and our heroes trying to stop destruction,,
2)Weak Villain: Except having a deadly name Apocalypse looks more like a villain of Power Rangers series.I never expected such a weak antagonist in X-Men series especially after DOFP.
So,X-Men Apocalypse disappoints those who became fans of X-Men series only because of DOFP. Visually stunning cliché.,
My rating 6.5/10
