Better Than X2 IMHO
I LOVED THIS MOVIE!I've been an X-Men nerd since The 90's cartoons!It was a perfect mix of superpower worldwide action, heartfelt drama and comedy!The special effects, story and acting were amazing and many thingsI've been waiting to see since the 90's cartoons!Cyclops destroying the ceiling of his High School, Apocalypse changing Angels wings into Metal,Havoc destroying Cerebro, Apocalypse becoming a giant, QuickSilver saving everyone, Weapon X,Magneto controlling the metal in the Earth and flying. creating a New Pyramid from other buildings,Professor X becoming baldand most of all they finally showing Jean Grey becoming The Phoenix(X2 ended teasing The Phoenix at the very end,This movie ends with a only few seconds of her as the bird of fire)Then they make another terrible Phoenix movie!(Is it possible too make a decent X-Men Movie without Bryan Singer???Did Simon Kinburg mess up The Dark Phoenix this time???)and The Danger Room even if was only a few second(The best part & few good parts of The Last Stand)There was a lot about Days of Future Past I didn't likeI get they were trying to fix what The Last Stand did but I think it could have been done better.The old Sentinels looked lame and awful and the New Sentinels looked weird crazy and too futuristic.If you were going to use any mutants power to make Sentinels that absorb other powers it would be Roguenot Mystique she can only change the way she looks not absorb powers but they already used Rogue plenty.I loved Cable in Deadpool 2 but it would have made much more sense to send himinto the past then sending Wolverine into himself... that's just weird.(overusing Wolverine again they really have overused him unnecessarily)They still haven't made a decent Gambit and I just realized that Kevin Bacon's characterhad Gambits powers in The First Class

The Last One
With the success of Days of Future Past, I was more than eager to watch this movie, especially with the post-credit zinger of a blue-skinned man forming a pyramid in the presence of four people on horseback. I am not the biggest fan of the X-Men comics, but I do know a bit about it to know of Apocalypse, a powerful mutant that is a great villain beyond all others.After the events of the previous movie, mutants are being accepted in the world after the horrors that happened in First Class and Days of Future Past but as the world adapts to this change some look upon mutants as something greater than themselves but not all mutants are great some are flawed and as shown in this story no good at all. As the X-Men are brought back to handle a dangerous mutant known as En Sabah Nur, regarded as the first mutant but this is no champion for mutants but a diabolical force that sees himself as a god and the world his for the taking.This story takes its time but thanks to director Bryan Singer and the phenomenal cast of James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Evan Peters, Rose Byrne, Olivia Munn, Oscar Issac, and so much more tell a great story, one that never lets up in adventure and excitement.The 3D Blu-ray experience is still great, with phenomenal picture quality. The special features are greatly better than the last movie with great deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes features and a nice gag reel. Great to have this on a digital copy too.The last and the best of the lot.

May be the best film in the franchise.
After watching it a second time, I think I am just about ready to say X-Men: Apocalypse may be the best movie in the franchise. And yes, I know that means I am saying it is better than X2, but I think it is.What sets X-Men: Apocalypse apart is, for the first time in the franchise, every character in it is represented as they should be. Several had been done right up to this point, but there were always exceptions: Hale Berry was a horrendous Storm, James Marsden, while a great Scott Summers, was never really allowed to be Cyclops, And let's not even talk about Toad or Sabertooth in the first movie.(slight spoilers)Apocalypse not only took one of the most complex villains in the X-Men universe and brought him to the big screen, but it also presented a Jean who struggles with control but ultimately steps up, a Scott Summers who gets to unleash his full potential as Cyclops, a Nightcrawler who is just absolutely spot on (even better than X2's, which is saying something), A Psylocke who is just about perfect, a Storm who is truly Ororo Munroe and a fantastic origin for Archangel. It also has some nice touches with the outfits, including Wolverine's Weapon X gear and the straps over Cyclops' left shoulder at the end that are reminiscent of the 90s cartoon version of his character.As I mentioned, Apocalypse is one of the most complex X-Men villains, and it would have been very easy to ruin his character. This film does not do that. I know it has come under a lot of fire, but I find that most people who know the X-Men Universe agree X-Men: Apocalypse is really good.I stand by my comment that it may be the best film in the franchise.
