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

An Exercise in Bloat
With each new X-Men Universe offering from Fox, I find myself more and more longing for the day when Marvel will refuse to renew the license to Fox and re-make the X-Men in the same style as they've done with the Marvel Universe movies from their own production company (the only recent exception being Deadpool). It seems that big studios cannot wrap their collective heads around the concept of building up the world, first, before deluging it with characters and blowing it up (yes, I'm looking at you, too, Warner Brothers). I mean, seriously, it doesn't have to be world-threatening every time.This one, in particular, got off to a bad start with me. We open some 5000 years ago in Egypt during a ceremony in which En Sabah Nur, later to be known as Apocalypse, is transferring his consciousness into a new host so that he can take the man's mutant power. The ceremony is being held inside a great pyramid. A pyramid which has been built with a... Look, I'm having trouble even saying this, but it's been built with a self destruct mechanism. One of the great pyramids in Egypt with a, yes, self-destruct device. Seriously.Then, when it's activated, not only does the pyramid collapse in on itself... The solid stone pyramid collapses in on itself. What? Anyway... Once it had done that, it proceeds to collapse right on down into the ground, becoming completely submerged and blocking it from the sun.There is none of that that makes any actual sense. Sure, you go right ahead and try to win yourself a No Prize by coming up with an explanation that works, but there is none of it that will actually make any rational sense, especially the part where the pyramid is swallowed by the earth.We're less than 10 minutes into the movie at that point (okay, maybe 15), and I'm already struggling.The next major issue with the movie is characters. There are too many and too many of them with no introduction. There's been demand since the X-Movies started for everyone's favorite character, whomever that may be, but Fox has gotten into the habit of just tossing them in without bothering to tell the audience who they are, basically relying on audience knowledge. This is fine under two conditions:1. The character takes no part in the story, as with Jubilee in Apocalypse. Or any of the background students at Xavier's school.2. The audience is only made up of fans of the comics who already know all of the background information they need to have.It's alienating to non-comics fans when there are a bunch of characters running around without any information provided as to whom they are.That's one of the things Marvel Studios has done exceedingly well, especially since many of their movies have dealt with little-known characters outside of the world of comics fans and conventions, is to introduce characters in a plausible and meaningful way. Even with Spider-Man, probably the character with the least information given about him within the context of a movie, in Captain America: Civil War, there was an appropriate amount of background given to give the character context for the movie.Fox failed to do that with pretty much every character they brought into Apocalypse, including characters who have previously been in X-Men movies. The introductions of Nightcrawler and Angel were flimsy at best. Storm, given the fact that they've never really revealed any of her background prior, was hardly better. And Caliban and Psylocke were abysmal. And, I have to say, Psylocke psi-blade is not a lightsaber; it's a psychic knife that doesn't have any physical manifestation. (Unless they changed that sometime since I quit reading comics?)The story is plenty bloated, too. The whole capture by Stryker is completely superfluous to the actual story and is only there so that they can work Wolverine into the movie in a completely gratuitous killfest. That was at least half an hour of the movie that could have been used to further the elements of the actual story. Or cut out completely.The Magneto plot line is also -- I don't know what to call it -- unnecessary. It provides the only moment of the film with any real emotional content, but, considering where things are left at the end of Days of Future Past, it felt contrived. That would be because it was.All of that said, it might sound like I didn't like the movie, which is not precisely true. I didn't like it, but I also didn't not like it. It wasn't horrible; it just wasn't all that good. Still, I'd watch it again before Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice any day of the week.I'm not a fan of the whole re-booting thing, but the X-Men is a franchise that needs to be re-booted and, this time, it needs to start with a plan, lay a foundation, and grow from there. It's too big a universe to keep throwing pieces of it in without laying the groundwork for them.

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.

El combo ideal y a excelente precio.
La película es excelente. Llegó en perfectas condiciones y en tiempo. Consideren que si no tienen cuenta de estados unidos en su dispositivo móvil no les permitirá descargar la copia digital y consideren también que la copia digital sólo estará disponible en inglés, aunque el bd y dvd si tienen las opciones de subtitulados y doblados al español latino.

Better than i had heard from reviews.
No problems here. I do not understand why it has to have so much to add here, when i would not have bought the film if i did not think it would be good.
