It's not as complex and well constructed than X-Men: Days of Future Past but - BUT - it is still a very entertaining movie mostly because of the great cast. Not only the "new" additions of X-Men: Jean Grey, Cyclops, Nightcrawler and a little bit of Jubilee and more Quicksilver but also the "baddies" Archangel, Storm and Psylocke. Another BUT sadly brings us Apocalypse who just looks totally out of place here. He's a cartoon enemy in a film that tries to be serious. Magneto would've been enough of a man gone wild again but instead we get a god like character who makes us laugh every time he appears. There are some really nice moments of friendship and solidarity and a good way of the script to deal with Jennifer Lawrences unwillingness to get into blue Mystique shape again. It could've been better very easily but it's still enjoyable and far from being a disastrous (apocalyptic) movie.

It's great to see more X-Men action after Days of the Future Past. I'm really surprised there was more story to tell after the timelines have split. Plus, the movie was well created to be presentable.The dialogue is always on point in the franchise. I'm also glad to see that Quicksilver is given a larger role. The ending scene in which Charles returns the memories he wiped out of Moira to her was emotional.However, there are some issues I had with this movie.Apocalypse was a little less threatening than I thought he'd be. I expecting him to be a villain who is the most powerful mutant of all mutants in the universe, yet he is defeated easily.Also, the death of one of my favorite characters, Alex Summers/Havok, was no surprise to me at all. Considering the fact that the character wasn't seen much in the promotional phase with the press and advertisements, I knew he wasn't going to stick around through the whole movie. Even when avoding spoilers, I just knew his despise will come up soon and it did.In conclusion, this is fairly great. Comic fans might expect a lot from these type of movies, but they got to give some credit for what was presented.

I couldn't care less about the comic book lore. But this is a top-notch adventure movie on its own merits which include an epic plot, sensitive screenplay, good dialog, dynamic direction with few lapses, great acting, plenty of suspense and terrific special effects.I'm giving it the 8 it deserves. The 7.0 it has now is silly. If you like adventure films, catch this one.

This is nothing more than a Disney Princess Franchise movie for grown men. Movie making by algorithm to yield highest profit.
