The whole final act was reshot making it an expensive film:

Basically it was gonna resemble Civil War with the X-Men pitted against each other over Jean, plus Jean was gonna have a Captain Marvel esque action sequence.
So the studio didnt want to come across as if they were imitating MCU story beats and action sequences.

Apocalypse was "rotten" too, wasn't it?
And it would have to try really hard in order to become the worst X-Men film.
I did like the trailer, so I'm trying to stay optimistic.
I was optimistic too , then the first act happened and bad script writing..
like I say KEEP KINBERG AWAY FROM THE MCU

Iirc some people here liked Apocalypse. So id definitely recommend it to them, as this is better. But it will likely be divisive.
That said, had some of the coolest action scenes in the entire franchise tbh. Have loved Magnetos arc through all 4 of these films. 1000* better than the Ian Mckellen version just being pure evil. As well as the friendship between the two Old Friends.
And I cant help but appreciate Kinberg for doing something none of the previous directors did. Which is to save just a Tiny bit of love for Cyclops. No major character arc for him or anything, but he was... finally... relevant.
Dude Apocalypse was a master piece compared to this.
Almost every character was wasted in this movie.
Magneto was a joke even first class version was more impressive.
The 1st hour of the movie is boring As Phuck.
Jean is boring As phuck, dont even get me started on the villain.
Plot of the movie is also really meh...
The last fight was the lamest shit in all of the X-men movies...
Tbh I felt like even Last Stand was more entartaining.

So... My google feed literally just spoiled a part of this movie for me. Great. I need to disable that shit.
And no, not a small spoiler either. It literally says a character dies.

Funniest shit was when [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Quicksilver tried to attack Jean while she was floating he tried to use sorround debris as platforms to reach her but she just casually removed one of them under Peter's feet and tossed him asside like nothing. 5 seconds later Beast is asking Charles that if he should take her out with a tazor...
Magneto was a complete joke in this[SPOILER - highlight to read]: his best move against the main baddie was trying to shoot her with a lot of guns while she had healing...

I remember seeing stuff on that feed for Endgame and it's only been out for a week
people in general even on social media they need to not feel the need to spoil everything.

So reading some of the reviews, and sounds like a lot of them dont really think this is terrible, but are just butthurt that this was even made, because they wanted Logan to be the last one of the Fox X-Men films.
Also 65% of audiences liked it on RT. And under their new system, those votes have been verified to have seen the film.

Not really.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Early in the movie X-men are sent to space to save some astronauts.
An accident happens Jeans absorbs the phoenix force. Later she is starting to lose control and she kills someone by accident. The villains are an unknown alien race(nothing is explained about them) who try to claim the force for themselves and thats it. The only thing they mention about them is that they followed the force to Earth but Jean absorbed it before they could get their hands on it. The reason Magneto is trying to kill her is cause she kills someone by accident but Erik quickly changes his mind later on. So no she is not a villain at all she is just running away from problems. The aliens are kind of parasytes who use human BodY as host.

Nah its not that bad.
Fight scenes are MEH compared to previous movies and the plot is really boring...
They got the force right tho cause like in the comics it is explained to be the spark that ignited the Universe.
