There was plenty of wolverine and the scene with logan, jean, summers and nightcrawler was just genius.
Thats the original crew from the first animated series.
Thats the crew that started it all.
Spoiler:
I loved how once Striker knew weapon X was out of his cage, there was nothing he could do to stop him, so he ran like a coward😂
Cmon people i like x men just as much as anybody... but lets be honest the movie was garbage...apocalypse design was horrible, his evil plans were very unclear, mystique wasn't blue, beast can control his affliction, the fight scenes were bad, Angel was clearly attached to a harness, blob showed up barely 1 second after Bryan posted a surprise fat mutant on instagram, nightcrawler can inexplicably teleport places he can't see...this film was a spit in the face to xmen fans
^ Nightcrawler teleported somewhere he couldn't see in X2 also.

Jesse Luthor was pretty bad yeah. Although I think Doomsday was much closer to the comic book depiction than Apoc funnily enough. They literally just had to give him the proper spikes. Apoc was just way off base though.As for everything else, I think You've basically got the same negatives on Apoc as I have, it's just bothered me a lot more. Plus I did just find the film itself underwhelming and a big step down from FC and DOFP.
I guess I can concede that this Apoc, while he grew on me (Oscar Isaac did a better job acting as him than I thought, which the trailers didn't do him justice), wasn't really anymore accurate than the Doomsday we ended up getting.
But yeah.

Storm, Angel also were just eye candy in my opinion. We barely get any back story on them they just basically get picked and decide to follow Apocalypse. You also get Jubilee doing nothing at all. Out of all the horsemen only Magneto had depth.
And oh yeah, Angel... With him being the most proper canon horsemen, he got the shortest end of the stick, oddly enough. Won't deny though that I sqee'd inside like a fanboy when his wings were transforming as that Metallica song was playing in the background. ✅

Just got back from seeing this.. I loved it a lot... good humor,, fight scenes... good script.. everything works . I wasn't bored at all... loved Eric's and Raven's character.. Cyclops was good.. Sophie is freaking gorgeous and talented, she rocked as Jean.. Even Nightcrawler was pretty good.... Olivia Munn , I liked as well... Oscar Isaac, talented actor afterall five months ago he was saving the galaxy, now he wanted to destroy the world.... I had no problem with how Apoc looked, besides I knew already he wasn't gonna look like he does in the comics.. Praise Singer, keep doing them.. Bring on the next one...10/10
So far this is the only post on this subject I totally agree with.
9/10 to 10/10

It's so sad to see a bunch of Internet losers trash a great film.
Literally this film is the best Xmen to ever come out.
How? Apoc weak as shit., Beast can cure the affliction that his character is based around him not being able to fix. Nightcrawler can now teleport without looking all willy nilly. Mystique is a hero and leader to the Xmen. And Wasn't storm worshipped and not some petty thief? Apocs evil plan was simply destroy everything and make a "better one". Jean was fugly. Blob had the shittiest cameo ever. The fight scenes were weak. No explanation on Apocs sudden awakening (if im not mistaken), Quicksilver searching for magneto then suddenly decides **** it. Angel was clearly on a harness. Mystique had no fight scenes at all
This film was clearly made just so fox can keep xmen rights. You may like Hollywood spitting in your face, but i don't.

He was hardly weak when he owned Quicksilver and then it took Phoenix+Magneto+Xavier+Cyclops+Storm to defeat him.
He just wasn't comic book Apoc. Not even close. If they gave him no name I wouldn't have had a clue it was Apoc (aside from the pyramid connections).

This ones split right down the middle in terms of reviews from fans and critics. It's literally a person 1 found it very underwhelming whereas person 2 thinks it's the best comic book movie ever

I think it was equal with Civil War, I just dont know how this film could have gotten better. Apoc was a little underwhelming, but everyone else was just amazing.
**** Blob and Apoc, we got to see Jean and Mags at full power. For the first time we saw his shield.
For the first time we saw the real Phoenix.
Not some crappy dark version.
And it was done by a Future Wardeness of the North.
Flawless.
