X-Men: Apocalypse

"Despite the undeniable presence of a huge amount of action, X-Men: Apocalypse is decidedly a case of more is less, especially when compared with the (...) more interesting personal interactions in other big Marvel franchises." 

"Bryan Singer's fourth "X-Men" film disappoints with too many characters and an over-reliance on visual effects." 

""X-Men: Apocalypse" offers a lot of entertainment value for your movie-spending buck, and it's very consistent with the previous two movies in terms of its impressive CG-enhanced action." 

"This isn’t A-level X-Men, but it’s a visual feast, it doesn’t take itself too seriously, it’s brimming with stellar performance (...) and it contains perhaps my favorite scene of any movie this year (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)" 

"Bryan Singer Discovers a New Mutant Power: Monotony (...) Without an interesting villain to hold the story together, this sixth adventure of the super-powered mutant team fails to engage" 

"The previous episode, 'X-Men: Days of Future Past,' was as fresh and enjoyable as this one is semicoherent and dispiriting (...) I saw the film in ordinarily annoying 3-D, which I wouldn’t recommend, but then I wouldn’t recommend seeing it in any D" 

"Singer shows a lot of energy, but he and screenwriter Simon Kinberg let the movie get way overcrowded (...) The saving grace is Apocalypse (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)
