Review- X-Men: Apocalypse

Well, looks like X-Men is really on track now that Marvel is involved, and you can always tell when they are when Stan Lee makes his contracturally mandatory cameo in the flick.  Apocalypse, as it turns out, is really good.  As you remember, Days of Future past left off with Current Day all nice and reset, then a scene back in the 1970s-era part of the story with Mystique picking up an unconscious Wolverine.  Well, Apocalypse picks up a few years after the Past-era part of Days of Future Past, allowing a new set of younger actors, seeing our favorite X-Men in their starting years, and injecting a lot of energy and possibilities into the storyline.

 

And the story?  Come on, this is Apocalypse; you KNOW the basic storyline, and it comes off pretty well.  Not to mention Apocalypse looking and sounding exactly the way he should.  The guys making the trailers still need to learn NOT to include any scenes in the last 30 minutes, though.  I’m sure some hard-core X-Men savants will be nitpicking this, but I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, liked the characters, and appreciated the fact that they brought back Ottman to do the soundtrack; makes it nice and consistent that way.

 

this is definitely a Big Screen movie, and worth seeing.
