Not as good as "Civil War" but not as bad as "Batman vs. Superman"

Rating: 7/10 (4 July 2016)

This takes place in 1983 and has the X-Men getting together to battle an ancient alien named Apocalypse who wants to rebuild the world...and run it.
Good (sometimes very good) superhero film. There's plenty of action and excitement. However the plot is vague and more than a little convoluted and slow-moving at times. Also some of the heroes (notably Storm and Angel) get very little screen time. Also Cyclops comes across as a bit of a jerk. Worst of all in Nicholas Hoult who is just terrible as Beast...and yes I'm aware he's played him before. Way too thin for the role. However the rest of the actors are all good in their roles. Also Wolverine pops up briefly. His sequence is VERY bloody and violent--way too much for a PG-13 film. By the way it adds nothing to the plot. I'm guessing he was put in just to satisfy the fans. All in all a good film but "Days of Future Past" was better.
