 Tastes like Jennifer Lawrence bandwagon and I ain't digging it Hey guys, this is my very late review of X-Men apocalypse now admittedly I was on the fence about this film I really like days of futures past and admittedly I am a very big fan of Wolverine and Hugh Jackman's betrayal of the character So when I saw that he basically wasn't in it at all in the trailers I was a little bit hesitant then when I saw that Sansa Stark was in it and you could hear accent breaking the trailer I Really kind of didn't have much faith in it and then the biggest thing was how much they pushed Jennifer Lawrence and not as Mystique as Raven like her normal version self because apparently she really doesn't like putting on the blue makeup I know she's a big name But I don't know why you put her to the forefront when she isn't in mutant form when it's a film about mutants like Rebecca Remojo or whichever in the original three she was in blue almost all the time I don't even know whenever she was a normal person. I think she was blue all the time Which I thought was awesome because That's what mystique is supposed to be she's supposed to feel normal being a mutant all the time So the fact that she's only as mystique like 12 minutes into the movie and the fact that she's pushed to the Forefront was a bit discouraging for me, especially at the end when she was doing the space thing my brother and I'm like Oh, I don't care you only can change you don't have super Amazing abilities like some of the other people sure you can change but in terms of power you don't have that So either way the movie itself. I actually was really into it Especially in certain sequences There's certain battle elements of the film that I didn't think were going to happen But they did sir more so fights within the minds of characters Between Xavier and apocalypse and I thought that was probably the best part of the movie was a battle of minds but the problem is apocalypse is very generic in terms of X-Men and Like what he wants to do is he basically wants to destroy the world and have everyone under his power That's very generic and then when you consider that Sebastian Shaw in first class Wanted to do that basically so that mutants rule the world not humans You've got even a lame or version of what Shaw wanted. So I don't know apocalypse. I liked Oscar Isaac I think he's a great actor. I don't know. I just didn't feel that there was that much character to apocalypse He basically just wanted to destroy stuff sure he found mutants to be amazing and beautiful He was basically an extreme version of Magneto who by the way has He has one of the best parts in the film except it's so badly started When you think back on that scene you'll understand what I mean But I think that scene was really well done except for that part because that looked comical in my opinion However, we're basically seeing another iteration of sad nido What we're seeing is that he's actually tried to integrate with society And I actually thought that was kind of interesting except that doesn't work out And so he basically goes on a tirade the only thing is he basically almost destroys the world And all he does is he gets one little pep talk and boom. He's back on the other side that's what I mean this film feels like it has too many elements to it and The apoc the the horsemen we barely get to know any of them Angel is just he has a really cool transformation But that's it. He doesn't really do anything else and especially with Silak silak everyone was losing their shit about silak except she's in it for like five minutes and She doesn't really do much except has a really cool thing of sword so The thing that I found this film had is what a lot of people have complained about the most with the X-Men movies There's too many mutants and not enough Basically introduction to them a lot of people said that happened with X-Men 2 Except even but still X-Men 2 is the best X-Men movie in my opinion But it didn't have that much sort of introduction as first class did which by the way Apocalypse relies heavily off of Extremely heavily off of there's so many parts where we cut back to scenes from first class and the whole time Wait, you're writing off of established story from this film not in the sense of dialogue or just kind of Establishing in characters. No, you're literally taking clips from the previous movie and putting them in this film Admittedly the timeline is so screwed up after days of futures pass I don't even know why certain elements are in certain sequences one of my favorite was really cool except it didn't make sense Why he was there But the one thing that I will give this movie a big compliment about is that it made me like Cyclops I thought that James Marsden's portrayal of him in the first three movies was so whiny and so bitchy But I didn't care for his character. However in this one I actually did enjoy it and then there's also There's another part that happens at the end with Jean Grey, which is like We see this happens. Where's this going? Admittedly We're getting so close now to where the film started where the next film was barely going to be in 1990 which is it that's it like unless they want to do two 1990 period pieces. There's going to be Literally no more room to do any more X movies unless they want to overlap again with the timeline But I still enjoyed it admittedly. There's a lot of parts that I thought were a little bit harsh I'm saying very negative stuff here, but I thought the action was pretty cool Admittedly the ending wasn't as action-packed as I thought it would be But I did enjoy certain sequences quick silver was hilarious I actually this is one of my favorite Xavier portrayals of all the movies I think he did a fantastic job. James McAvoy is still one of my favorite actors Michael fastmander was good He wasn't very layered, but I still think he's one of the best actors in this whole series So in the end, I'm going to give X-Men apocalypse a Four out of seven. I don't know why I just I wanted it to be a little bit better I still think days of futures passes way better. I think that I Think that the original X-Men movies are better I'm it's not as bad as people are saying, but it's not that much better in my opinion Anyway guys, that's all for me. I sorry for the long review But I will see you guys next time soon with something that I'm going to do Because I'm too bored to do anything else. See you guys later
