8 Reasons Why X-Men: Apocalypse Might Suck
7. There's Too Many Mutants
Everybody is understandably getting excited about all the mutants were going to see in this film, like fans always do when a new X-flick rolls around. Yet theres always characters that get short shrift when the cast list is too jam-packed - especially what with the prequels love of concentrating on McAvoy, Fassbender and Lawrence. Heck, even Nicholas Hoult caught a bum ride last time around, his one meaningful scene with J-Law being excised to the Rogue Cut.
Now theyve got Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Jubilee, Havok, Quicksilver, Moira, Psylocke, Archangel and Storm, not to mention Apocalypse, whos the damn villain of the piece - so will obviously command a lot of screen-time.
Unfortunately, at best, we can expect these guys to be walking, talking power sets with only one or two choice moments apiece and very little character development to go round - much like the future-set mutants in Days of Future Past, who were allowed to make a spectacle and not much else.
