Some notes on X-Men: Apocalypse

1. Special effects are not convincing at all. Filmmakers wanted to show some grand, magnificent scenes of power in the form of mindless destruction, but clearly the special effects team failed them with some lousy CGI.

2. The previous edition of Jean with square face and tall head Much better looking. This version looked a little weak at first, but changed a little when it finally broke out.

3. How did Magneto's wife die? The wooden arrow shot through two bodies? Even when the archer was distracted by birds? Are you kidding me?

4. An old joke about conversation between foreigners came live in this. “Blahblahblah (in foreign languages) ).” “Do you speak English?” “Yes!” “Let's talk in English instead.” “Blahblahblah (in English).”

5. How come Wolverine is captured by the real Stryker? I remember it was Mystique, disguised as Stryker, got him in Days of Future Past.

6. "The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken." This is really true. In this movie, Quicksilver is one of the best in combat, but unfortunately it was accidentally caught.

7. Where in the film is Bruce Lee present? I saw the acknowledgement in the credits, just wondering.

8. The X-Men series started off with some slightly thought-provoking films that were not just popcorn blockbusters, but now the series is Seemingly losing this treatment of humanity and letting itself down, even though Bryan Singer returned to be the director.

X-Men: Apocalypse quotes

  • Erik Lensherr: Who are you?

    Apocalypse: Elohim, Pushan, Ra - I've been called many names over many lifetimes. I am born of death. I was there to spark and fan the flame of man's awakening, to spin the wheel of civilization. And when the forest would grow rank and needed clearing for new growth, I was there to set it ablaze.

  • Charles Xavier: [senses Apocalypse with Cerebro] I've never felt power like this before...

    [his eyes go black]
