X-Men Apocalypse
SCORE: 52
We purchased a copy of X-Men Apocalypse on DVD recently. It also came
with the Digital HD. Something I doubt we will use anytime soon. The
X-Men movies are getting darker and darker lately. X-Men Apocalypse is
so close to a seventeen and older rating I am unclear how it avoided it.
The long list of bad content is coming up. I found it to be shocking
personally.
The issues in X-Men Apocalypse are false gods, false goddess, tries to
deny Christ, teaches the religious belief of evolution, blood, gore,
gruesome deaths, violence, bad language, enticement to lust, lack of
attire, and more. The one saving grace is Nightcrawler prays in X-Men
Apocalypse. Sadly the movie glosses over that. In fact it feels like
X-Men Apocalypse tries to hide Nightcrawler's faith.
I am not going to try and get started on how off cannon X-Men Apocalypse
is from the comic books. Holly Weird is not capable of keeping things to
their roots. I guess they think they know better. Problem is X-Men
Apocalypse feels so disconnected. Too many convenient moments in X-Men
Apocalypse. At times Apocalypse is shown as all powerful, and other
times he is shown as missing it.
X-Men Apocalypse threatens to show us the end of the world. Liberals
will applaud the destruction of all nuclear weapons in X-Men Apocalypse.
Thing is it makes little sense to me in the storyline. I guess
Apocalypse feared getting nuked while he was having Magneto use the
Earth's magnetics to destroy most of humanity. By the way, the way that
was done made little sense to me. Shaking the Earth deep underground
should not have rocks floating around. Sure it looks cool, but feels
wrong when you logically think about it.
Wolverine makes an appearance in X-Men Apocalypse. In fact Scott Summers
and Jean Grey free him from being Weapon X. Again lets not obsess over
comic book continuity. Let us just say Holly Weird is not capable of
reading or sticking to cannon of anything. I don't think Holly Weird has
any footing left in reality which makes their credibility wind up so far
in the negatives I am not even sure there is such a number invented yet.
Quicksilver is a fantastic characters in X-Men Apocalypse. He gives us
some great comic relief. SPOILER ALERT! Storm, Arch-Angel, and Psyclocke
are three of the Four Horsemen. Magneto rounds out the group. Thankfully
most of them come to their senses near the end. Too much of Apocalypse
is a mystery before he is killed off in X-Men Apocalypse.
