Caught a sneak peek this evening of X-Men Apocalypse. Hmmm. Mixed feelings about it. Keep in mind I grew up on comic books. More into Wolverine than X-Men, so there is the disclaimer. I can also say how much more I appreciate the incredible amount of work that went into this film, just wow.

This is a good 1.5 hour movie that should have been edited down from its final 2.5 hour movie. There is a slower 1st half and a much better second half. I thought it was good overall and if you enjoyed any of the past X-Men movies you will enjoy this as well. There were some gaping plot holes which required some very creative writing to patch them up.

This is a definite rental if you do not see it in theaters, but I would lean towards seeing it in theaters if you can.
