X-Men: Apocalypse (EN) Review
Hey everybody,
I have to be honest, I was a little sceptical about this movie. X-Men Days of Future Past (2014) was a disappointment to me, I don't know why exactly, but I missed something. My expectations for this movie were therefore not high, fortunately that way a movie can only surprise you, right?
X-Men: Apocalypse continues 10 years after the events of X-Men: Days of Future Past. With both the title and the main villain called Apocalypse, which literally means end of the world, I expected to see the end of the world. Instead the movie waits until the last 30 minutes for this end of the world. The showdown is really impressive and amazing, but you'll have to wait for a little bit to long.
After the events of X-Men: Days of Future Past we received a whole new timeline, with the original triology still ofcourse in the back of our heads, and we spent a lot of time in the movie building this up, which is great, but sometimes distracts from the main villain and threat. Apocalypse is portraited pretty good by Oscar Isaac, but with the power he had, he could have achieved more and it feels like they didn't give him enough time to become the ultimate threat he could have been. Apocalypse wages a war against the humans, but I don't think any human in the movie had any idea who he was. All they noticed was their cities being torn apart, but even that wasn't him.
X-Men: Apocalypse leans on it's great actors: James McAvoy, Nicolas Hoult, Micheal Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence all reprise their role, but the many newcomers also do a solid and good job.
The last thing I want to say: I'm really curious were the X-Men franchise is gonna go next. As far as I now no new addition is planned besides the third Wolverine solo movie arriving next year.

3/5
PS Marvel once again tests your patience by making you sit through 10 minutes of end credits for 30 seconds of film which absolutely tells you nothing, but will keep you curious until the Untitled Wolverine Sequel arrives in March 2017.
PPS A little piece of advice from me before you go see the new X-Men, if you have time, rewatch X-Men: First Class (2011) and X-Men: Days of Future Past. That's the best way to prepare I think, I at least did it this way.
