The movie gave everything I expected from it, and more.

  • Action? Check.
  • Drama? Check.
  • Funny moments and scenes? HUGE check. (still laughing when replying in my mind! :))

There was never a dull moment or a scene I could cut out. Everything just worked. That being said, there were a couple of minor flaws, all of which can be overlooked by the full scale of the movie.

Story: 8

X-Men Re-introduced

This movie was amazing. It really felt like you were watching something Apocalyptic. Although I don't have had a problem with Bryan Singer's X Men movies, unlike a bunch of whiny babies, this one actually felt like it was an X Men movie. A sheer resemblance of what we saw in X Men cartoons, both evolution and the 1990 ones.

Visuals: 10

I already smell an Oscar for CGI for this movie

I have also seen critics saying that this movie is complete CGI. Well it's not like you can do actual Apocalyptic level scenes without having any CGI effects. That's just crazy. And the CGI in this movie is beyond awesome. I already smell an Oscar for CGI for this movie.

Character: 8

The movie had loads of emotional as well as loads of action packed scenes

I also must applaud director Bryan Singer, as he managed to take over 10 super-powered mutants, put them all in one movie, and give them all equal standing throughout the film. I didn't see too much of one character or too little of another (though I would've liked to see more of all of them). Every character had their strengths and weaknesses that fit together with their own individual stories. 

And my biggest praise for this film is that it did something that no other superhero movie has really done for me: every character pushed the limits of their powers. It wasn't like the Avengers where every time they throw their hammer or punch a bad guy they don't even show a sign of struggle. I could feel the characters giving it their all as they fought off a truly formidable foe. 

Enjoyment: 9

Everything in this movie worked: the humor, the action, the story, all of it.

X-Men Apocalypse started very compelling and then started to get more and more intense. The movie has much higher stakes, making it one of the best X- Men movies. 

X-Men Apocalypse may not be perfect, but I loved it.

I love stupid shit. But at least I'm honest about it. Born in 1983.
