Apocalypse of the X-Men Franchise

Rating: 4/10 (11 May 2019)

The arch villain here is a toad-faced, scowling, bore whose wit and intelligence are almost as subpar as the script. How does this world-destroying tyrant recruit mutants? Why he changes the hair color for Storm, fixes up the ruffled feathers of Angel, and mutters "join me"!. Apparently, this is sure-fire recruitment inducement for superhuman mutants.
Meanwhile, I pity the Hank McCoy/Beast character who is either an uninteresting accountant-type character or an embarrassing, useless, big, blue lug. Numerous scenes of mass slaughter and the military literally mopping up pools of blood do nothing to improve the viewer's experience either.
Otherwise, the film is over-stuffed with random CGI effects and a plethora of sidekick characters that are left awkwardly standing around. If it weren't for James McAvoy's performance of Xavier mildly holding my interest, I would have rated this film even lower.
