Finally watched X-Men Apocalypse and I liked it.
As a movie, it's entertaining, if you don't think about it too much. Compared to the MCU it sucks, but slots in nicely with the other X-men movies in the franchise. Although not improving on a movie made 15yrs ago is not encouraging. They need to dump Jennifer Lawrence.
I can understand the backlash against it from the fanboys because it basically ignores the source material. A good comment on it was that the studio just looked at comic book covers. I like to think of it as a standalone universe, or even a parody.
