Not as good as DOFP but still really good!!!

Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2016)

I loved it!!! Sure its not upto the standards of DOFP n definitely not even close to First Class but its really good!!!! I really don't get all this hate!!! Effect of living in a post MCU-era???
People really need come to their senses and realise not every superhero franchise follows the nonsensical MCU format!!!! What is the general MCU format??? No story...no plot...no character development...just a bunch of ppl kicking asses and blowing up stuff from the word "go"...add with it cheesy one-liners n repetitive humour n thats it!!! Thats pretty much what 9 out of 10 MCU movies are all about!!! And what better way to compensate for a lack of true content!!!
X-Men has always been different and in my opinion...better!!! This franchise has always been darker...more mature...more plot driven...more character driven!!! Every X-Men movie including this one has content good enough to hold its audience without special effects and over-the-top-action scenes!!! For how many MCU movies can u say this???
X-Men: Apocalypse had me hooked from the first scene and kept me engaged throughout!!! There is very little to almost no action till before the climax but the content as usual is good enough to keep u hooked!!! N the action lovers needn't be disappointed...the last 30 minutes has sufficient to makeup for the whole movie!!! N that by the way is a real fight!!! Where both teams give in their 100% to take the other down!!! The airport scene in Civil war was more like a new form of bromance!!!
QUICKSILVER WAS AWESOME!!!! Once again he ruled!!!! He was awesome!!! Did I say that already??? Who cares!!! I can just keep saying it!!!
James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender were amazing!!! This is another thing about this franchise...it gives more space to its actors than most other superhero movies!!! Loved Sophie Turner as Jean Grey cant wait to see more!!! I was a little disappointed in Mystique!!! In the last 2 installments not only did she play a pivotal role but her character was really twisted...conflicted...i think mysterious is the word!!! In this one its pretty one-dimensional...still way better than Black Widow though!!!
Not to give away spoilers...there was a major cameo...lets say Weapon X...that I feel should have been handled better!!!
One last thing...for the Civil War lovers who are complaining about the villain here...Apocalypse was about to destroy the world and did actually destroy almost half of it in the process...please remind me what did the Civil War villain Zemo do??? Right!!! Make Iron Man and Captain America fight...except wasn't that going to happen anyway...followed by their disagreement on the peace accords??? What did he really make happen that wasn't already going to happen??? Nothing!!! Which makes his character irrelevant if not useless...which makes Apocalypse a way better villain!!!
