It was a good follow up to dofp I would say 8/10 I wanted more wolverine but...come on weapon x needs more time lol it left me wanting more, it was a great movie " alt="Image" title="Image" /> " alt="Image" title="Image" /> " alt="Image" title="Image" />" alt="Image" title="Image" />

I thought this was a good film, but not great, especially when held up against Civil War. Quicksilver was awesome and I too loved the Weapon X scenes and many other little touches. The acting was good, the story not bad, but I couldn't help but feel the film suffered a bit from trying to do too much too quickly. It took about eight years and 12 or 13 movies to build up to Civil War but Fox has messed up the X-Men so badly with their third movie and the Wolverine:Origin story they are still trying to dig their way out. While First Class, the second (now only) Wolverine film, Days of Future Past and now Apocalypse are all steps in the right direction you have to wonder what the endgame is. The MCU has a clear vision and is all planned out for several years ahead. Besides pumping out movies, trying to make money, and keep Disney away from their film and tv property I have no idea what Fox is doing. Is Dark Phoenix up next, set in 1993? Are the characters all going to be seniors when they catch up to the present? Are they going to start and end Wolverine's story in one film or is someone else going to wear the adamantium skeleton? Hopefully Fox will lose big money on this and be forced to partner their characters with the MCU, and the sooner the better! Tenzil

I liked it better than DOFP, some of the dialogue was not good in that one. I'm glad they did the Apocalypse justice. Can't wait for Sinister!! Last edited June 20, 2016 7:13:42 pm

kewilson Comic Guru lifetime member Location: Canada Posts: 525 My Collection	Posted: June 22, 2016 5:37:48 pm 90's X-Men would be great! They just need Rogue, and Gambit is coming. Yeah, I noticed they didn't age at all.....but it didn't bother me too much!
