X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
Slow for the first half... Worst script in the whole series
Don't want to give too much away. So here's the summary:
1. The first half of the movie is too slow. I understand the narrative and all. But it was like the story of Eric and the story of En Sabah Nur are from different movie. Somehow they mixed these two stories together, along with the bits of X-Men. So it didn't come out as smooth as it supposed to be for Bryan Singer's movie.
2. Way too easy on recruiting/finding four horsemen. Did it mean any first 4 mutants will be the chosen ones? It looks that way.
3. I'm not sure if Psylocke has any line in the whole movie. Her power looks awesome. But she's the only one wearing skimpy outfit, while the others wear armor.... sexy, I know. But it seems strange.
4. Wolverine as a special guest. Great fight scene though.
5. This one is a little disappointing affair for fan of Bryan Singer like me.
But it was X-Men. No matter how bad or good people say about it, you'll watch it anyway. So judge it yourself. For me I'd give it 6.5 stars. But there's no half point here. So 7 it is.
Rock Icons (2015)
Good show... so little time
I binge watched this show over the weekend. And for music geek like me, it was always good to see these artists telling their own stories. Some of their stories are not that well known, such as Geddy Lee and Billy Corgan, though they are famous. Out of all 10, I think Daryl Hall episode was not entirely in sync with the program, even though I love Hall and his story was quite interesting.
Half an hour per episode was too short to get the whole picture of artists' lives. So it was like a snapshot on moments. Interesting and had a few tidbits that you've never known before, but nothing deep and insightful.
Anyway, look forward to see Season 2. It would be much better to expand into 45 -60 min episode.
