Solid - very good in parts but let down by some

Rating: 6/10 (18 May 2016)

I went into this film expecting the worst after reading all of the negative reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's not the best superhero film, nor is it the best Xmen film, but it's solid.
Positives: More Quicksilver (not enough though) has a glorious scene that is better than his first Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler are great Oscar Isaac as apocalypse is solid Well written motives for every characters actions (unlike BvS)
Negatives: More Quicksilver (we want MORE!) or this Quicksilver in the MCU Mystique is terrible - so boring, so useless, offers nothing but talk Magneto flips sides every film, it's played out and predictable. Prof X looked weaker than ever That cameo was poor (also why show it in the trailer) The film felt rushed - Apocalypse assembles his four horsemen almost immediately, basically whichever mutant he sets his eyes on first gets the nod. This could/should have been set up over a couple of movies like Thanos in the MCU. In the end he just looked weak, despite great acting from Oscar Isaac.
Good film, go see it but don't expect Iron Man 1, Winter Soldier, Dark Knight Trilogy or Civil War standards?
