10 Times Movies Should've Used CGI
2. X-Men: Apocalypse
X-Men: Apocalypse is by far the most disappointing of all the X-Men movies, largely because it does almost nothing interesting with the arrival of its much-anticipated villain, Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac).
Oscar Isaac isn't given all that much to do, and more to the point, his underwhelming stature and silly-looking makeup and costume design just don't even remotely convince that we're looking at a God-tier mutant - the Thanos of the Fox X-Men movies, basically.
Thanos is an apt counterpoint, in fact, because it's painfully clear that director Bryan Singer should've instead had Isaac perform the part through performance capture, just as Josh Brolin did for Thanos in the MCU.
Given that X-Men: Apocalypse rocked a $178 million budget, it certainly had the coffers to make it happen, and in turn would've been able to realise the supervillain as the genuinely larger-than-life character he's supposed to be.
Instead, and no offense to Isaac here, but he ended up looking like a fairly committed cosplayer.
