A lot of fun

Rating: 8/10 (10 February 2019)

In a vacuum, this film was amazing. Apocalypse was menacing. The younger iterations of Storm, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, and Cyclops were fantastic. Quicksilver's spotlight moment was even more monumental than "Days of Future Past." There is so much good about this movie, but it falters for a reason that isn't even bad, just overdone. It feels weird to complain about the focus on Magneto, Professor X and Mystique when all three actors turn in very strong performances, but in the sixth film thrusting them to the center, audiences need a break, especially when there is so much other talent to be harvested. Even with the flawed focus, Bryan Singer turns in another strong installment with great action, well-timed humor and a masterful handling on
