31 Very Real Reactions We Had to X-Men: Apocalypse
You know it's Summer blockbuster season when a major franchise movie is hitting theaters seemingly every week, and Memorial Day weekend was no exception with the arrival of the apocalypse (X-Men: Apocalypse, that is). The film is over two and a half hours long, so you'd better believe it's packed with action, humor, new characters, and a lot of Olivia Munn wearing a leather bathing suit. It's satisfying as a whole, though I couldn't help wanting a bit more from new villain Apocalypse, not to mention infinitely more of Evan Peters as Quicksilver. With that being said, here's a spoiler-filled rundown on the movie's biggest moments.
