special effects does not a movie make

Rating: 6/10 (8 June 2016)

They tried to just completely wow and overwhelm with special effects. Story line and character development was non-existent. Apocalypse casting and makeup was atrocious; he should be huge/muscular, intimidating, scary, a force to be reckoned with. They should have made this into a 2 part movie and really developed character background stories and an actual plot. It was hilarious and definitely unintentional foreshadowing when Jean Gray/Scott Summers/etc saw Return of the Jedi and jean says, "the third movie is never as good". The only reason I give this movie a rating as high as 6/10 is because the wolverine scene was amazing and so was the fight between Charles Xavier and Apocalypse in Xavier's mind. Special effects, while cool, do not a movie make.
