Review

1. X-Men: Apocalypse was released two days ago and the feeling of excitment still lingers. It was absolutely amazing, watching one of the most awaited movies in current time and it leaves you with a sort of emptyness inside after you finish watching it. Although, Days of Future Past had that energy, cohesion and was overwhelming to watch but Apocalypse also had that charm in many ways including the fighting scenes that was always to epic and being able to know the younger version of characters we previously met was also a great experience on sceen.

2. Let's talk a little about the movie itself. X-Men: Apocalypse primarily takes place in 1983, but it begins in ancient Egypt where En Sabah Nur/Apocalypse, the world’s first mutant, looks to merge with Celestial technology to become even more powerful. Ofcourse, some people where against it and thus his augmentation is sabotaged which results in him being trapped for centuries. When Apocalypse finally is released from his slumber, he is disgusted by the world, acquires four followers, and sets out to change things. Charles Xavier has an issue with that, and alongside Raven, Moira MacTaggert and an array of younger X-Men, including Cyclops, Jean Grey, Quicksilver, and Nightcrawler.

3.Eric had finally started to live his normal life and has a wife and a daughter but it seems his mutant power is almost a bad luck to him. His wife and daughter are killed(not intentionally) by the cops and in return Eric kills all of them with just a necklace of his daughters'(quite the power he has) and he goes over to his working place to kill all the people there, that's when Apocalypse finds him and asks Eric to join him to which Eric agrees(Eric always seems to turn to bad side easily in my opinion).

4. Regarding the four horse-men(four followers), Apocalypse first chooses Storm(Alexandra Shipp) as one of his 4 horse-men and then finds Psylocke(Olivia Munn), who leads him to Angel(Ben Hardy), and Magneto(Michael Fassbender). He hightens their mutant powers and realizes Magneto what he is capable of.

5.But, after Days Of Future Past, you’ll be left with a feeling of little underwhelmed by Apocalypse. X-Men: Apocalypse entertains us, but not quite as it's predecessors, and it’s proof that bigger and louder is not all always better. But, on Apocalypses' defence, it was a hell of a movie. I can't say it was not exciting watching it. And how it came to Jean to use her phoenix power to weaken Apocalypse, it was kind of off because X-Men: Last Stand showed us that Phoenix cannot be controlled and Wolverine had to kill her but in Apocalypse she used that power. So, it make sense the least but maybe I am overthinking.

6.Bryan Singer did a fantastic work as always. He controls the camera in a smooth and silky way, while including detailed human touches to the action and the X-Men’s use of their powers that get under your skin and are striking to see. Once again, he manages to combine the storytelling of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the spectacle of DC, as he uses colors, silences, pans, and a mixture of intimate and grandiose framing to create a cinematic texture that's just intoxicating. 

7. To sum it up, it was a totally awesome movie and is worth watching. Everything from visual to acting was amazing. If you still haven't watched it, go and watch it ASAP!!!
