such an outrageous movie. (in a bad way). and the x-men are my fav super hero characters ever....over batman, ironman, spiderman, avengers, etc. xmen are the reason i got into comic books as a kid. so i am a bit bias as well.
BUT... there was so much nonsense going on here.
why was apocalypse the same height as storm????
quicksilver showed up at the exact time when the x-mansion blew up and saved 30 people???? the slow-mo scene was cool, but are they gonna do the slow-mo quicksilver thing in every movie????
then stryker showed up in a helicopter and took them in the nick of time????
storm and psylocke didnt do anything at all. at one point storm was hiding behind a brick wall.
cyclops was complaining about his eyes in his high school class...2 days later he's there fighting one of the most powerful mutants apocalypse and survives???
moira mctaggert didn't have an accent. isn't she irish???
mystique (lol) is the leader of the x-men and a hero??? since when?
quicksilver gives apocalypse a few punches (lol).....then apocalypse's eyes turn white and he catches him...what does apocalypse (the most powerful mutant who was just chopping dudes necks with same in egypt do?? break quicksilvers leg.
magneto has a quick change of heart and they beat him up in 2 mins.
dark phoenix (who is totally separate from jean) came out of nowhere.
the only time apocalypse grew in size was in prof x's mind????? in the comics, the animated series the video games he grew in size, shape shifted his hands into weapons, etc. the made this guy WEAK.
i can go on, but there was just too much nonsense going on here. i feel disrespected. i grew up off the xmen comics, xfactor, xcalibur, xforce, etc and the animated series and the animated series is my fav cartoon of all time. watched that shyt every morning on fox kids back in the 90s. i was anticipated this movie like crazy, only to feel disrespected.
the saving grace for this movie was magneto/michael fassbender. i'm very disappointed.
