X-Men: Apocalypse | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Glowering under buckets of gloppy blue makeup, Isaac doesn't seem to be playing a godlike figure capable of destroying the world as much as the sort of grumpy uncle who always complains at barbecues that there's not enough mayonnaise in the cole slaw.

Its faults reek of laziness and negligence. There is so much untapped potential.

It wasn't terrible, and I don't think it entirely deserves its dismal 47 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But it should serve as a wake-up call regarding the franchise's future direction.

Transcends the law of diminishing rewards by upping the action.

The special effects are fast, frequent, and generally overwhelming; they look stunning, for the most part, but their sheen wears off when 99% of the imagery is CG.
