Review of X-Men : Apocalypse

X-Men : Apocalypse was one of my most anticipated movie of 2016. I watched the movie last weekend, This was actually a really great movie. Definitely better than Captain America Civil War tho. X-Men: Apocalypse ties up what's came before with what's ahead. All characters are visually stunning. The backgrounds enrich the mutant's history and the references to past X-Men movies are littered thru the entire movie. I loved Alexandra Shipp ( Mohawk Sorm ) and Olivia Munn ( Psylocke ) performances and acting. Some scenes are very laughable like Quicksilver rescuing a dog eating pizza. Yup! A dog eating pizza sounds ridiculous right? Well, he’s actually rescuing everybody out of the the faculty before it all goes boom. The appearance of Wolverine fitted in nicely although very brief. At first I thought Magneto was the most powerful mutant but technically Jean is the most powerful one because she can merged with the primal force.

Genres : Action | Adventure | Fantasy |
Running time : 2 hour 27 minute
Rating : ★★★★☆ ( This is certainly a massive ‘X-Men’ movie )

STORY : After sleeping for nearly a millennium, the world's first mutant Apocalypse ( En Sabah Nurcomes ) back to life. He is utterly displeased with the turn of events over the last few centuries.
