I saw this today.
On the upside I don't think anyone will say that they handled any character badly because there was practically no character development in the entire film.

Some more spoilery thoughts.
The beginning is just straight up bad, it's incredibly corny and makes zero sense. And then everything up to the end just kind of muddles along with all the main characters very separated which makes it all pretty boring. The ending scene I thought was some what fun though? But the background behind it was pretty dull.
I saw someone make the rather astute point that the first two movies worked because of the raven/professor/magneto dynamic and when they actually argue and interact. And when that happens, they are good moments in the film, but the majority of the film that just doesn't happen and it's boring and rubbish. Jean and Scott meeting is flat out bad writing, and any characterisation from the baddies except for magneto is barely there.
And Hugh Jackman's cameo was just bad, he looks, really, really dumb and it doesn't really serve the plot very much at all.
until days of future past, all the x-men movies, even the last stand were pretty bad movies with cool scenes sprinkled about
like, the best magneto bit ever is in the last stand
But also the worst Magneto bit
So I think it's a wash
Not just bits.
Magneto in Last Stand is completely worthless with the exception of the tattoo bit.
I abandons Mystique! He sends mutants to die because he doesn't value their lives!
Fuck Last Stand Magneto!
I mean
He wants Rogue to unwillingly die in his place in the first movie
Movie Magneto has never been anything but a shitty hypocrite in the movies but Last Stand takes it to far. Magneto seems at least a little apologetic Rogue but is positively GLEEFUL at the chance to get a bunch of his follows killed for nothing. He and Pyro could have destroyed those soldiers.
why do the X-movies keep wasting their female characters
I really hope Laura joining will fix this problem if only because Wolverine is easily the biggest draw they have and having her fill that role would give her a better shot
Like trying to pass off McAvoy and Fassbender as dudes in their mid 50s or so in Apocalypse is already a bit much
Having them be in their 60s in whatever the 90s film will be is just ridiculous short of aging them up with make up and shit
If only we knew what they looked like when they were older!
If only we had actors who looked like that!
DAMMIT!!!
Both McKellan and Stewart have said they're pretty done with the franchise, with Wolverine 3 being Stewart's final movie, and if their choices are De-emphasize Xavier and Erik or start slathering them in make up to look like other actors they should do the first thing
Honestly I hope they continue to jump a decade with every movie, despite only 2-3 years passing in real-time and the characters clearing aging only a very little if at all. And I hope they do not acknowledge this in universe at all. Because comic books

look at this guy

5+/10, defintiely the weakest movie of the trilogy.
Accidental death and rage part was pretty terrible though.
Satans..... hints.....
But then entire third trilogy would be terrible!
Possibly. We won't know until it happens. That's the exciting thing about science.
There was actually a really good joke about this in the movie (not really spoilers)
Empire was the best, it was so dark and edgy.
No the first was the best, it started it all.
Lets all agree that the third movies are always the worst.
Satans..... hints.....
Well, yeah, but it becomes sad when you realize that it was supposed to be a joke about Last Bastion... and it became a joke about Apocalypse too.
They've done a bunch of good weird promo stuff for this flick.
They had a George Takei narrated parody of In Search of... about Apocalypse earlier too
This is apparently more than she gets to work with in the film, if what I'm hearing is correct
Now I just feel like the film is superfluous
I'm not sure I enjoyed this more than X-Men: The Last Stand
Context is important here
How well did you enjoy The Last Stand?
Personally I think it's kind of underrated but still not very good (it is nowhere near the level of bad of Origins: Wolverine)
But also the worst Magneto bit
So I think it's a wash

Origins is at least funny-stupid
Last Stand is just stupid

Well find out when Wolverine 2 hits next year.
By like an order of ten.

Trying to combine two of the biggest x men story arcs in one film wasn't a great choice
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget
Jubilee is my favorite member of the X-Men, and she'd already been held back as a silent background extra (with lines in deleted scenes only)
I was hoping they'd turn it around but
Guess not really
Really the only thing that pointed at her being a glorified cameo was when the team shots started coming out and she was nowhere to be found
You would like Jubilee the best...
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget
omg so 80s
Stan Lee's line at the end there is pretty great
Little did I know Dazzler's super power was being the living embodiment of butt rock, and Jubilee was the living embodiment of an 80s light show.
when the movies aren't about Wolverine, they're about the tragic Xavier-Magneto bromance
