Go see X-Men instead- not horrible, but it could've been a LOT better
3 June 2016
First of all, I thought this would be a good way to pass some time and have some fun at the movies, as the trailers grabbed my interest. I saw this a couple days after it was released and came in with low expectations due to the mixed reviews, but I left the theater rather unimpressed. I felt that the movie didn't hoist my attention span enough for me to care about the movie in a lot of spots, mostly because I've seen it all done before. Same goes for the humor, which really disappointed me, because the trailers actually a few genuine laughs out of me, but in the movie, I didn't laugh as much as I wanted to, and the rest of the audience can be an example as evidence for my opinion- they only chuckled at the occasional spot, and nothing else was heard from the theater. I'll admit that the animation, soundtrack(Ozzy, man!) and voice-over work was pretty good, and there were some good giggles I got from the movie, if rare, but other than that, I pretty much wasted my time by heading to the cinema to see this movie, and I believe you shouldn't either. I won't say it's an atrocity, but I'm still sticking with my thoughts on this. However, if you want to go to the theater, I'd recommend seeing X-Men: Apocalypse. Trust me, I had a blast watching that, it has everything you would want from a movie- incredible special effects, gripping action sequences, fantastic performances from the cast, hilarious humor, a nostalgic 80s soundtrack, a ruthless villain and the icing on the cake- an imaginative use of 3D effects. Speaking of which, if you do happen to decide to go and see this movie despite my warning, see the 2D version, the 3D added nothing to the experience with little to no depth or pop-out moments.
