-men: Apocalypse Review

X-men: Apocalypse Review (minimal spoilers)

From everything I was reading I expected to be underwhelmed with this movie :/ hate early reviews weeks from the domestic opening.

The Cons: 

Needs more Wolverine.

Apocalypse still looks kinda bad. Really wished he looked a lot more threatening and imposing like he did in the comic. The only thing that saved it was Oscar Isaac's performance. Even with his voice being a kind low whisper, he still makes it work.

Not enough introduction for Apocalypse's backstory. He has an interesting origins story that was teased at the end of DOFP but it wasn't fully realized here :/

A lot less Jubilee then expected. No Wolverine and Jubilee scenes.

Needs more Wolverine

Archangel's terrible mohawk instead of opting for a blue skinned open masked version of him.

Apocalypse's full powers weren't fully utilized :/

Mystique/Jennifer Lawrence leads the x-men :/

Needs eggs, hashbrowns and a side of more Wolverine.

The Pros:

Wolverine and his fantastic cameo that should've been in Wolverine Origins. Things get bloody and I love it!

Oscar Isaac's performance as Apocalypse aside from looking like a villain from The Power Rangers. Well done.

Sophie Turner! Sporting an American accent, good performance and good everything else.

James McAvoy getting better each movie. He was getting a lot more like Stewarts version.

-Quicksilver was still fun but I thought the speed scene, though funny, felt a little forced.

-Micheal Fassbender still very good and stealing scenes.

Awesome scenes with him and Apocalypse.

-Psylocke was great but wish she had a british accent.

-Scenes with Cyclops and Jean Grey. Good to see their characters back onscreen again.

Overall, the cast showed up, punched the time clock and did a pretty good job. I'm sure the Kraft Services fed them all well.

Seriously though, Singer can still tell a great emotional story. 

The bad costume and makeup design, missed backstory opportunities, cool final showdown and a incredible inspired cameo...I give this a rating of 

7.8 out of 10.

Still a good movie and strong story but not perfect by any means. Entertaining and worth seeing in the theater but braver costume  character design choices should be truer to the source material.
