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

    Charles Xavier: [to Storm] You're not comfortable with all this, are you? You're not like them.

    Ororo Munroe: Don't try to get in my head.

    Charles Xavier: I don't have to read your mind to know what it is you're thinking. You're not a killer.

    Ororo Munroe: You don't know me. You didn't grow up in a place where superstition and dark religion hold a lot more sway than your degrees, Professor. I barely survived my own village, my own family. They all thought I was a curse on the Earth.

    Charles Xavier: Are you going to prove them right? Are you going to prove them right?
