Just like B v S this year, X-MEN: Apocalypse is super-ambitious but just doesn't know how put all its ideas together in a very interesting way. But unlike BvS X-men partially succeeded in actually making you feel that there are some missing story lines or backstories that could help make this into a really good film.
Don't get wrong I enjoy this movie for about 2/3 of it, but mainly because I lowered my expectations--to the point where I checked my brain out of the door, but it is a pretty straight forward story which lacks any form of complexity--which only engrosses you here and there, and for the rest of its running-time makes you wonder, "uumm, I think Fox is tired of the X-men franchise."
The Direction is pretty tired at this point when it comes to Singer's Vision of the X-men. I don't know if I can see him direct another X-men movie, but interestingly enough Apocalypse left me wanting more.
A great Cast, lead by Michael Fassbender as Magneto, who for the most part has a pretty interesting story, but just like the movie itself it collapsed under the fact "we need a big CGI-heavy battle at the end of this, which feels "small" in comparison to Captain America: Civil War's either fight scenes, but they tried. Then you have Oscar Isaac who is heavily underutilized as the main villain Apocalypse. His story has a strong beginning, rather interesting and just plummeted into disaster by the end. And I asked myself, would it have been better if Apocalypse was completely Motion Capture (like they did with Thanos in the Avengers movie) and make him looked more like the Comic Book and Animated TV series version. Just saying, it wouldn't take anything away from the movie.
Throughout the movie I asked myself, what is Apocalypse big vision or motivation? Is he supposed to be a threat to the world or the X-men? For a man with all that power at his disposal why does he need the "Four Horsemen" to conquer the world? And even when he has the Four Horsemen under his control He doesn't do much but reaping the Earth/Nations Apart; monumental landmarks among other things. But not once, I was at the edge of my seat. No Threats or Danger. Nothing at all to make you invest in it emotionally, or cerebral enough like its processors.
The Visual Effects are great, but so repetitive and common place that they don't "WOW" you, but the simple moving and establishing shots made up for that.
And for the STORY/SCREENPLAY, it is the complete letdown. It Could've been way better than what was presented considering the Apocalypse story-line is one of the most herald X-men comics.
With that been said, I enjoyed Apocalypse for what it is. I think Superhero Movie fatigue is setting in even for the filmmakers. So, am I looking forward to another X-men film? You bet I am. But, in 10 years or so, that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy Apocalypse...it is just a Movie Matinée in its core-a Transformers movie per say-but with common sense.
NOTE: I don't know if Apocalypse worth its $234 million price tag. They could have made a better movie with half of that.
