The X-Men franchise has completed yet another trilogy with the release of X-Men: Apocalypse. For someone like me who’s been a fan of the franchise since the circa 1992 cartoon, expectations were definitely high. Apocalypse is one of the most interesting plots of the franchise, after all. Sadly, these expectations weren’t met.

Spectacle is when you watched your first firework display and gets stupefied by its beauty. It was magical. It was unforgettable. It was life-changing. But when told to watch the same fireworks the following day and the days after that, you begin to wane interest and act as if it’s just a normal scenery. Deadpool works in the same premise. It flaunts a well-written screenplay. It showcases a never-before-seen character. It presents a hopeful subversive intention. But the audience must be warned. This movie when done again will lose its magic. So while it is still a spectacle, while it is still a novelty, and while it is still revolutionary, watch all of its glory until its last spark dies out.
