The special effects part is basically nonsensical, and there may also be non-IMAX reasons. The few clips I like are probably the time tunnel in which the opening shows the development process of human society. Think about it, think it's the Magneto demolition project that will theoretically shine?
The narrative has no sense of rhythm, and the plot reluctantly pushes one step at a time as if it is stuck in the mud. The long foreshadowing, Apocalypse recruited soldiers and bought horses for so long. In the end, the horse was either paddling or reversing the water. What's the point. The funny clips are done well (for example, Charles sees his first love with various fawns and misses his tongue constantly), but hope that these clips play a role in slowing down the rhythm? The rhythm is not nervous at first! There is no essential difference between saving people at the scene of the Kuaiyin explosion and DOFP. It is already aesthetically tired. I hope that the little angel Kuaiyin can develop other gag skills and learn from the little spiders and Ant-Man next door.
At the end of the trilogy, it is also responsible for explaining the ins and outs of the characters, which may be one of the reasons that drag down the plot. I did explain clearly-how did Storm Girl and Kuaiyin join X-men, how did Laser Eye and Phoenix Girl see each other, Charles's first love (EC fans forgot that he has an official match...), right one For a series of films with many characters and complicated causes and consequences, they did quite well, but they also undermined the core story of "Take the Apocalypse".
Compared to the civilian injury incident discussed by the US team 3 next door, this piece of Apocalypse is really peaceful. Although the old man kills the police Wolverine with his hands and blades, the soldiers will turn into dust if they don't move in the day, but this movie is really not impressive. How cool!
The above is all nonsense, I just want to say that the biggest gap between the core conflict of this film and my expectations for the X-Men series is that it is nothing ordinary humans.
The reason why I like the X-Men series better than other Marvel superhero stories is that it deals with minority issues in society. As a result, the trilogy turned into a minority leftist fighting against a minority rightist?
The resolution of the conflict is also unremarkable: just rely on the Phoenix girl to approximate 1v1 KO? Phoenix girls are very strong, but a group likes to deal with big husbands like this? So every time a powerful villain comes out, the only solution is to find a stronger opponent than him? Then I might as well watch the gang fight at the Leipzig airport next door.
But Apocalypse, which is known as the strongest mutant, actually didn't do anything in the play. Can't he take a few more horses because he is so powerful? Do you charge a few more powerful ones? Do you charge a few more loyal ones?
There is also no convincing paragraph about Lao Wan being persuaded by Devil Girl and Kuaiyin...Why is it so easy to be persuaded by Charles? You are indifferent when your base friend falls into the mouth of a tiger, and your ex-girlfriend says a few words and you cry? Thanks to Fasha's acting skills, he can afford a Magneto who was originally designed to be too high and refined.
To be honest, I think the restart is actually a very sad story: after the restart, a beautiful new world will not be born, the excluded will continue to be excluded (Why are you always so miserable), the love triangle will continue (look at the laser) I watched the Phoenix female treating Wolverine and I was about to collapse), the EC still went its own way (——'Goodbye, my old friend.'——'Good luck, Professor.' CP fan hugged his head and cried. Ah, but actually They can be regarded as harmonious but different. With the personality of the two ECs, DOFP believes that it will end well).
Compared with FC and DOFP, Apocalypse really has no highlights in characters and stories. The Wolverine series that hit the street is out of 3 I don't know if there will be surprises. Hope it will be better in the new universe.
