X-MEN: APOCALYPSE is between good and really good. The Quicksilver scene is insane. Cast awesome. Some amazing stuff. Just not a homerun.

X-Men: Apocalypse is a tremendous pile of crap. The most groan-inducing movie I’ve seen in ages and an exercise in boredom.

#XMenApocalypse is a profound waste of the series’ source material, the characters, the talent of the actors on screen, and of your time.

I found #XMenApocalypse surprisingly good, Fassbender, McAvoy and Isaac were all good but for me Fassbender was just awesome.

Nothing really happens in X-Men: Apocalypse? Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it. It has a few good moments but otherwise unmemorable.

X-MEN: APOCALYPSE: Goofy, even for an X-Men movie. But perhaps its blatant disregard for continuity/characters/tone is part of its charm?

X-MEN: APOCALYPSE is dark & destructive & it feels like a period piece in more ways than one. True trilogy capper — maybe one of the last?
