Even though I haven't seen the movie yet I'm still disappointed. I will still go see it but I'm not gonna be as excited. With all these characters showing up and more it looked like this was going to be the best one, but it seems that it won't and thats why I'm disappointed. I just hope there are at least some good things about it, but then again when the bad reviews for Batman vs Superman arrived I was hoping the same thing and the movie ended up being a completely complicated turd and the stuff that was claimed to be good (Ben Affleck as Batman and Wonder Woman) was hard to enjoy. I hope it's at least better than The Last Stand.

I was also kind of looking forward to it but looking at the reviews now, believe it or not, "The Angry Birds" movie is getting better reviews than the latest X-Men movie which honestly (if you don't believe me, just look up both films on Rotten Tomatoes), I never thought was even possible. Then again, perhaps we still might enjoy it even if critics don't like it because judging from the trailers, Apocalypse still looks authentic to me if you're a fan of the X-Men.

X-Men: Apocalypse actually looks pretty good. I don't understand the negative reviews that it's getting. I'd probably still go and see it.

I just hope it's at least better than X-Men: The Last Stand & Batman v Superman. The trailers made it look like this would be the ultimate X-Men movie & sadly it won't be, but I'll still go see it but won't be too enthusiastic about it and hope there's at least a few things good about it.

IMO, Fox has done a relatively good job handling the X-Men film franchise so we shouldn't be making a fuss.

I actually thought is wasn't that bad. It's not as strong as most of the past movies but it's still good and enjoyable in some area. It's definitely better than The Last Stand & The 2 Wolverines and maybe even the 1st movie which is good.

I've watched it. It was very disappointing. As a comic fan I hate what they're doing to Mystique. She just takes over the film like Wolverine used to do. This isn't a film about a rookie team of mutants learning to use their powers. It's a boring film in which the other X-Men are just... there. They just exist. They could of been anybody because at the end of the day it's Katniss who saves the day.

You look at the Avengers and you had these wonderful moments where the cast got to shine and work together as a team. There's none of that in this movie.
