Xmen Apocalypse (2016)
8/10

" After the re-emergence of the world's first mutant, world-destroyer Apocalypse, the X-Men must unite to defeat his extinction level plan."

After hearing a lot of bad reviews, I wasn't expecting much, but I really liked it.

It's a film series, so if one hasn't seen the previous films, they will surely miss the nuances of the character performances, as well as the overall story. Like many superhero films, it's an action-adventure full of moral decisions, and full of social-spiritual-political symbolisms -- something director "we shouldn't have to" Singer does very well.

I liked that the film made super-villain Apocalypse rather low-key, human and even personable, as opposed to some unrelatable bombastic megalomaniac thing.
