XA (X-men Apocalypse) A supercharged X-men movie

Rating: 7/10 (30 May 2016)

OKay the critics were over-exaggerating this movie. The movie had everything that makes a superhero movie super. Over the top action, decent story, great characterization, and a menacing villain.This movie gave me the feels I have never felt in any superhero movie before. And some of the scenes were so engaging I was afraid to blink.
Now as much as I enjoyed this movie I do strongly believe Days of Future Past was much better because of better execution. XA's major problem lies with the execution of the villains(4horsemen and Apocalypse). These guys were suppose to bring the end of days in the most biblical sense and it fell short of that. The four horsemen were not utilized to to their full potential. Like Storm should have cause worldwide weather phenomenons like hurricanes forming on land, thousands of tornadoes, floods, electric storms. Psylocke could have dropped on cities like a nuke with telekinetic forces, and Archangel should have used his metal feathers to rain death on the population. And Apocalypse could have been the one pulling the strings and picking up the pieces laid waste by his horsemen. The four horsemen do not get much attention to and its just too bad. These guys were to be the ones who drive this movie and I believe if they had been more focused on this movie would have been better than DOFP.
The movie didn't reach the potential that its predecessor reached, but its very enjoyable. The high-energy of this movie is nothing like you ever seen in any superhero movie. Mutants let their powers out and its fantastic. Quicksilver!!!!!! Damn!!!!!!!!!!!! Great movie all around. 2HRS 24 mins and it felt short. GO AND WATCH IT!
