Full Review (Spoilers)

X-Men: Apocalypse is a decent time out for the franchise. It’s not the best movie out of the three at all. The worse thing about this movie is the mediocre run with their main villain. A lot of great characters were left with barely anything to do. The saving grace for this movie is a good amount of action even though it didn’t mesh together at times. You’re okay to go out to the theaters and watch this movie but I wouldn’t go running… just walk, casually.

DC's Hypothetical Corner

Let’s say I change one thing. Maybe that one thing will make this movie better or more watchable.

I’d make Apocalypse a stronger villain and give the great characters more to do.
