X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
Not as good as its predecessors...
I really enjoyed the first half of the film! Unfortunately it fell flat in the second half, especially the last 45 Minutes. A lot of the film was a repeat of a lot of things already done in earlier films. Michael Fassbender is as great as ever and Magneto's story-line is fantastically done. James McAvoy is great too. Wolverines cameo was fun but the whole Stryker sequence felt unnecessary to the film as a who;e. Jennifer has always been miss cast as Raven/Mystique and it is a shame they haven't recast her yet as a lot of her scenes are cringe- worthy. Apocalypse was a rather boring villain in this film and the new actors/actresses playing young versions of Jean Grey and Cyclops were disappointing to say the least. Out of the 6 X-Men films this is only better (by far) than the terrible X-Men 3: The Last Stand but is not as good as the other 5. It had a lot of potential but I think bad casting and over reliance on boring CGI, especially towards the end bring it down sadly. It is worth a watch and I am still giving it a generous 7 stars.
