Last May 21, I attended the 4th Superfan Screening of Filbars. Screening is quite different if you compare it to the previous screening. I would like to share some insight but I won't elaborate the whole movie. Moving forward to the main topic, the movie starts with a flashback wherein we see ancient civilization ruled by En Sabah Nur a.k.a. Apocalypse. It's quite notable that his 4 horsemen are amusing tho they don't have much screen time. I'm not a solid X-men but his power in the movie is a bit different from the comics as he need to transfer his consciousness to other body to gain the power.
They also reintroduced Jean Grey, Kurt Wagner, Warren, Ororo, Jubilee and Scott Summers in the movie which I think they did a great job portraying their character except for Angel and Jubilee. One problem that I saw in the X-men franchise is that they tend to use a character they won't fully utilize them. I feel bad for them but somehow the managed to entertain us with Quicksilver saving the mutants from explosion ( insert music "Sweet dreams are made of these blah blah blah"). Wolverine also shows for a brief period as he was released from the Weapon X program by Jean Grey. As a Wolverine fan, I saw the rage, the fury of the Wolverine that we should have seen eons ago. He also wore the iconic weapon x suit or should I say the helmet and the wires over his body.
Some says there were only few action scenes but for me it's enough. I saw what I want to seeas the X-men fought Apocalypse with teamwork. Sophie Turner nails it I can't even wait to see her again and the Phoenix Force. One thing that I don't like in the new movie is Mystique. They literally use J-Law's popularity but I don't think Mystique is an essential character but they made her become something important in the franchise.
I don't want to spoil everyone so go out and check the movie.
8/10.
PS
There's a credit scene (ESSEX)
