re: X-Men Days of Future Past Thoughts and Reviews (With Spoilers)

Just got out of it. Thought it was alright. Dragged on a bit too long, no new themes developed, and I just wasn't drawn in as much as I was with X2 and First Class (whose jockstraps DOFP can't hold). It was a solid 2 hours of entertainment, but fell a bit short.

As far as Apocalypse, help me out. I'm not a comic reader. I searched him and found this

quote:

---

The character has total control over the molecules of his body, enabling him to alter his form as it suits him,[69] such as allowing his body to become extremely malleable and flexible or change its size, enhance his physical abilities, transform his limbs into weapons, wings, or jets, regenerate from fatal injuries, adapt his body to apparently any disease or hostile environment, and give himself virtually any physical superhuman power.[70] The character is also able to project and absorb energy, and has displayed telepathy and telekinesis. Apocalypse is as well capable of technopathy, able to directly interface with the various technologies he has at his disposal. Thanks to the aid of his mutant abilities, special "regeneration" chambers,[71] and changing bodies, Apocalypse has made himself effectively immortal.[72] Aside from his superhuman powers, Apocalypse is extraordinarily intelligent,[73] a scientific genius with knowledge in various areas of science and technology including physics, engineering, genetics and biology, that is far more advanced than conventional science.[74] Apocalypse has knowledge of Celestial technology that he uses for his own applications, such as altering mutants or humans. Apocalypse is also a skilled demagogue and a master strategist.

How does that make for an interesting villain? If you give him every power there is, it just fails from a story standpoint. It's exactly why Jean sucked in X3. If you make the characters demigods, then the only way they can be killed is by them conveniently not using power X to combat opponent x.

So how do they kill him? Just spoil it for me, the only reason I'll go see it is to see the powers on the big screen
