Exasperated, not angry.
She would certainly have been great in it a few years back., maybe pushing slightly too old now. Not that that ever stops the mens...
To be fair to Turner, the script didn't really give her much to impress with. But she definitely didn't impress.

"Let's have them stand around a lot!"

Disjecta Membra

I'm going to see this in a bit cos a friend has a spare ticket. I'm going in hostile, so expect a scathing review later
Reno

Haven't seen BvS, but Apocalypse is no where near better than Civil War. For a start, the latter knows how to manage that many characters. After a decent enough start Apocalypse become a complete mess. The Three-Horsemen-of-the-Apocalypse-That-Aren't-Magneto were practically anonymous, maybe ten lines between them and little to do except stand around/behind Apocalypse before running about for all of 30 seconds in the 'climactic' battle.

but massively underserved. Like almost everything else in this film there's the germs of an interesting idea in her story, and you get glimpses of it, but it's hidden in a pyramid of chaff.

Indeed.
I think Sansa spent more time staring at Xavier asking for help than Storm spent speaking in the entire film.

I'm not convinced Sansa is Jean Grey , she will always be Sansa to me

So many particulars. So many questions.
don't get it with DC, tonally perfect for its shows although they aren't much cop except Legends of Tomorrow and bits of Gotham. Yet here we are with a bat v supe film so universally loathed, with a superman I didn't like much anyway in this moody iteration. Its like they don't know what to do with the characters they have, like they don't even get the stories or how they work. And yes, snyder, but it can't be down to one man that DC films are generally complete shit

I'm still shocked you dont like the flash and uot tastes are usually similar, its the best one out of the lot imo
I have a love hate relationship with gotham, every few episodes its amazing, but a lot of it is dire,inc the finale I watched this morning before work, I would have been better off alseep.

I fell asleep twice during the film.
So I didn't really understand what was going on.
I suspect I would be equally confused even if I had kept awake.
Wasn't sure what The Blue Guy's problem was and why he looked like that. is he an alien?
throughout the film, I was convinced that he was played by Hank from Larry Sanders (Jeffrey Tambor), but it turned out he was played by Oscar Isaac.
anyway, it was rubbish.

It's shit but these movies make a really good case for interning mutants (or at least the powerful one, no one cares about Jubilee). Every decade they almost destroy world. In this one they destroy Cairo, New York and Sydney and no one cares cos they're to busy enabling magneto.

Finally got around to watching this on a decent download.
Tonally the whole thing just feels off, Apocalypse as a villain is a bit boring and doesn't do much except off people in horrifying ways and then speechify about destroying the world. He's also overpowered and several of the fights seem silly in that he could just blink his enemies out of existence but chooses not to because....erm.
McAvoy and Fassbinder are watchable as ever (although Magneto's plot is so obvious from start to finish that Fassbinder basically wanders through it) and Lawrence seems to have taken over the Wolverine General role and does alright but also speechifies too much.
Quiksilver gets another visually impressive superspeed sequence set to comedically dissonant music, but it's far too jarring given we've just witnessed a main character die and the tone should be more serious IMO.
No point to the Wolverine cameo, in fact it hurts the film as the X-Men are captured and then escape without any of the scenes influencing the plot at all.
Decent carnage at the end and a nice nod to Dark Phoenix, but otherwise fairly throwaway entertainment.
Not a patch on Civil War, and having watched the Director's Cut of Batman v Superman, not even as good as that to be honest.
