What do you think of the movie "X-Men Apocalypse"?

In 2000, Bryan Singer directed the movie "X-Men" adapted from Marvel comics, starting a wave of comic book-adapted movies and at the same time raising such B-level movies to A-level levels. It can be said that without Singer, there would be no subsequent comic book blockbusters.

In 2014, "X-Men: Days of Future Past" directed by him was released simultaneously in mainland China and the United States. It received excellent reputation. The Douban score was even higher than that of First Class. Although I think the first The battle is much better than the second one.

The third part is still directed by Singer. After watching "Apocalypse", I would like to remind everyone that it is best to lower your expectations. The third part is not as good as Days of Future Past. Singer said that this will be his last time directing the X-Men series. After watching the movie, I know that he is probably telling the truth.

My evaluation of "Apocalypse" is: it is a sequel to a dog's tail, with almost nothing except good looks and special effects. Some comic fans may be scolded at this point, but even comic-book movies should be evaluated according to the movie's evaluation standards. There is no need to come here to show off your superiority after reading the comics. The movie is not just for fans.

If a commercial film is made so that ordinary audiences cannot understand it, then it is the director’s problem, because after all, it is not an art film or an author’s film. If I can’t understand "Xiao Wu" and "Assassin Nie Yinniang", then I If I feel ashamed of myself, it’s because of my own lack of quality.

Let’s talk about the plot first. Apocalypse’s character design is completely broken. Maybe the director didn’t intend to lead him into a funny way at the time, but the effect was like this. As soon as Apocalypse was hit by a car on the scene, he was very good at it. Touching the car, the Rolls-Royce trademark is very eye-catching, and the advertisement is hilarious. The way to understand the world is to watch TV, which is very similar to "The Return of Hitler". Since he is the villain, can we be more serious? He is a man who is strong enough to destroy the world! I feel that the reason why the movie turned out like this is that everything that needs to be said has been said in the previous movies, and this one feels more like it was created out of the blue. Apocalypse is like a big router. While he is releasing news, others are secretly sending encrypted information. I almost laughed when watching this scene.

Before watching it, I had inferred that there would be a scene where Quicksilver saves people. After all, the most outstanding character in Days of Future Past is Quicksilver. The director had no reason not to use it again, but he did use it again, but since he had already done it once, he wasn't too surprised. Moreover, Quicksilver’s appearance was more like he was there because he was asked to appear, and the cut was abrupt. In the front, Professor Apocalypse controlled the destruction of NATO. The grand background was washed away, and the arrangement structure was poor. Similarly, Uncle Wolf's appearance is also blunt.

Apocalypse is suspected of selling topic points. The first and second episodes talk about why Magneto is in a wheelchair, and the third episode talks about why he is bald. The third episode has no core story. The first episode tells why Eric became Magneto because his mother was killed during World War II. The second part, Days of Future Past, shaped the professor's journey of coming out after the Cuban crisis. The third part has no central plot, and I don’t know what it is going to talk about. The core of the starring role and the core of the character are different. It stands to reason that the core of the character is Phoenix Girl, because Phoenix Girl defeats Apocalypse, but there is nothing about Phoenix Girl in the first half of the movie, and the role of Phoenix Girl is suddenly mentioned at the end of the film.

The main line of Apocalypse is unclear. Some people say that it is to connect with the first part, but Days of Future Past has washed away the old timeline, making it impossible to connect with the first part.

There are also problems with Magneto’s character. It’s strange why he is always capricious and always switching between good and bad. It’s always boring like this. Whether Magneto moved the stadium in Days of Future Past or placed a magnetic field at the entrance of the station this time, it looked awesome but was of no use.

To be honest, the first battle in the X series is still my favorite. Many people say that the movie has a tendency to deliberately sell out. I don’t feel like it’s a tendency, it’s clearly that way. The film is set against the backdrop of the Cold War, with Magneto's tragedy occurring during the Nazi invasion, when gays and lesbians were persecuted. The director once said that the movie is a cry for minorities, and mutants can be gay. Director Singer himself is gay, the old version of Magneto is a gay leader, and the leading actor is the first openly gay actor in the UK.

The ability of mutants arises in adolescence. The little naughty boy almost kissed his boyfriend to death. Most people discover whether they are straight or crooked during adolescence, which is exactly the proof. Iceman's parents enlightened Iceman, have you ever tried not to be a mutant and integrate with reality? Most gay parents have said the same thing to their children.

Judging from the current reality, the communist camp does not agree with homosexuality, and Apocalypse controls the nuclear bombs of the United States and the United Kingdom. There are no communist countries, and Apocalypse seems to be on the side of the Communist Party. On the property owner's side, of course this is just a wild guess, and the imagination is a bit too wide.
