X-MEN tastic

Rating: 8/10 (28 June 2016)

I really loved this movie. I have always been of the opinion that the acting from Jennifer, Michael and James are superior to the actual material. The story is a little over complicated and being a fan of the previous movies I was a little lost in recalling what happened previously. I probably should have revisited them before watching this one.
Throughout the movie I kept on hoping Erik, Mystique and Charles would survive so that we could have more movies with the same cast. I thoroughly enjoyed their interactions, their connections and their backstory.
I didn't like the overall story line of Apocalypse and his 4 horsemen/women. We also didn't get to know them very well. The scene where Charles speaks to Erik and Apocalypse is busy doing a project runway costume design was just laughable.
The whole Erik using the earths metals to destroy everyone was stupid. Apocalypse could have done that himself, faster and more efficiently. He was more obsessed with getting Charles's power. Why? so he has to switch to a new body, does he then retain his old bodies powers, with the powers he already has can't he just absorb other mutants powers.
Why did Charles wipe Moira's memory of them? Charles deserved to be happy. When Beast helped Mystique to move to safety it was so cute, so many feels, we could've done with more of that. And why are they not together?
So basically, please make more X-men movies and please recast Wolverine.
