Finally watched X-Men: Apocalypse.
It was a wreck, but not a complete piece of crap. I've certainly seen worse super hero films. The movie goes a little quickly and there's a lot to complain about, but eh, I don't really feel up to it.

I liked Cyclops's characterization. I hate his authoritarian attitude from the comics, so seeing him as the punk was different. Nightcrawler is my favorite X-Man, so I just kind of dig any appearance he gets. Wolverine's scene was spot on, and I do quite like McAvoy's Professor X.
Quicksilver's scenes are always great, too.

I don't like Jean Grey and the Phoenix bullshit, though. Jean was an exposition machine (Well, not really exposition, but she'd basically just outline what the plot needs for the cast to do in the next 15 minutes). If they want to set up the Dark Phoenix, here's a quick tip: Don't. It works because is turns our precious little Jean into a villainous super psychic out of the blue. Establishing it basically turns it into a waiting game of "When are they going to botch the Dark Phoenix saga again?"

Anyway, mediocre film, but watchable. 6/10
