I bit my lip and held it in

Rating: 3/10 (22 June 2016)

In fairness to X-men Apocalypse, it wasn't specifically this film that forced me to sign up to IMDb and start writing a negative review. But it was the movie out of a list of 2015/2016 superhero films that brought the kettle to the boil.
Avengers - Civil War, Batman V Superman, Fantastic Four, TMNT to name a few have been very disappointing and just demonstrate what Hollywood have to offer these days. SWEET FA!
Who can blame them though, they do lazy story telling, add in a bunch of CGI, get Chris Hemsworth and the 'Squad' nice and big and there you have it! A Modern Day Superhero Movie which everyone sits down, pays and watches FULL WELL KNOWINGLY ITS ALL THE SAME SH*T.
This isn't hatred towards superhero films completely. Look at the Dark Knight Films and compare them to these films. I will just do that right now with X-Men..
So the Villain can really make or break a film it's fair to say. And the motives behind that villain can get you on- board for a film or do the opposite and make you lose interest. The Joker gave us exactly what you need from a villain. Motive. Did Oscar Isaac's Apocalypse? Nope.
Or how about all the explosions, laser beams, being hurtled against a wall at 100mph or even dropped from the skies. You'd think surely there'd be more damage to the characters than entire Urban Infrastructure. Nope, not a scratch...well..maybe a scratch, but it's gotta look realistic right!?
X-Men carried a ton of good actors with Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy both doing what they can to bring this film to life. But the best movies, and I'm talking classics, are generally films that don't include huge fictional monsters. If these actors with such potential really want to reach that top A-class list to join the likes of Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks...it's time they stop agreeing to be in films that have already been done over and over and over again.
Hollywood - Bring something Fresh to the table!!!
