This movie was a long wait! Every movie, I was thinking where is Apocalypse? But here it is. Take my money!!
**Spoilers ***
Quicksilver .... as usualy was fantastic. Everything else was surprisingly boring. CGI was probably the worst I've seen in recent times. How did they mess that up so badly, I don't know. Basically most of hte movie was Apocalypse moving very very slowly recruiting his horsemen in very uninteresting ways. There was an interesting bit in the middle where it wrapped up Wolverine's story from the first one. And then once again, meh.
Now interestingly most of these characters have appeared before.....by the same director....in xmen 2 and the movie was brilliant. This one felt like it was still on the cutting room floor with awkward cuts, shots that were slightly too long, progression that felt like I was watching a story board sequence play out. The pacing was just off and the story was uninteresting.
The thing with CGI....if something epic was supposed to happen....we have to care about it. If we don't, it's just cgi. And unfortunately, I didn't care about a single thing. The other two members of the audience fell asleep.
Sad, because it had the makings of a movie that would have been fantastic if a bit more time and a better story were put in to it. It had Oscar Isaac for god's sake.
Contrast with Star Trek Beyond for a rushed movie done (mostly right) with amazing special effects.
Rating 2.5 out of 5. 3
