X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
Amazing (No Spoilers!!)
X-Men Apocalypse to me is one of the best X-Men films along with X- men Days of Future Past. The film picks up 10 years after the events of X-Men Days of Future Past, but the film also deals with some of the events that happened in X-Men First Class.
Pros:
I believe that the X-Men movie franchise is mainly to do with the story of Magneto, and how the tragic events in his life have affected him. X-Men Apocalypse shows the real emotion of Magneto and makes us as an audience understand why he does what he does. Michael Fassbneder really understands the character of Magneto and that helps with his performance.
The way they introduced the new characters in this film was done really well. They didn't just chuck them in the film just for fan service (although they do give fan service) they fitted perfectly with the film and the actors made the pages of the comics come to life.
Cons:
I didn't feel that invested in the character of Apocalypse. Not saying that he was badly acted, I just found that he wasn't that interesting of a character and that made him for me the most boring part of the film.
The character of Angle portrayed by Ben Hardy, if found to be a very week character and felt like he was only in the film so they could have all 4 horse man.
Conclusion:
The film is very entertaining and has a lot of memorable moments and it sets up for future films to come. The film also has a lot of re-play value and most decently worth buying on Blu-Ray.
