This movie continues where X-Men: Days of Future Past leaves off. I won't spoil it for you, but man, what a let down. Apocalypse was really boring from beginning to end. Days of Future Past was so much more interesting and entertaining throughout.
Rating: C -
Yeah the reviews are trashing this thing. Brian Singer is just not a good director. Had anyone watched Superman Returns?

He just hasn't been good for some time. Superman Returns was terrible, yes. Maybe this is mediocre.
Usual Suspects was very good, though. First X-Men was decent and X2 was very good.
Singer directed days of future past, which was excellent.

You and I drew different conclusions from the ending of the film.I couldn't get over the dumb ending.
If JLaw didn't shoot the prez, then suddenly mutants are safe and sentinel program is cancelled? They already made a biggest attack on US president in history of USA- a fvcking stadium was magically lifted and dropped on White House and all the top aides were cornered and at the mercy of mutants.
But because JLaw didn't make the motion of shooting, everyone is A-OK.
I can forgive plot holes in most movies. But that was just utterly stupid.

Trask whipped up terror [sound familiar?] over the mutant threat. Which led to all mutants being labeled enemies of the state. By protecting the prez and foregoing revenge on Trask, the X-men demonstrated that not all mutants were enemies. And as it turned out that Trask was selling secrets to our enemies, and was exposed because of the X-men's interference, that proved to be another calming effect on hostilities between "good" mutants and the U.S. gov.
IRL, Muslim radicals crashed planes into buildings; declaring jihad. Yet, despite some Americans to this very day wanting to hold all of Islam responsible for it, cooler heads have prevailed thus far. And we have chosen to not include all Muslims as enemies of the state. Which is how I interpreted the stadium event in the film. It is a 9/11 moment in that comic universe's U.S..
