  • Maybe show an actual compelling reason for his followers/Horsemen to actually fight for him. Because through the entire movie, the only ones who actually remained loyal were the initial Horsemen that died protecting him during the initial uprise against him. The current generation of Horsemen were each like "Meh, I'm done now." Which made his ties to his Horsemen confusing and weak.
  • Maybe show something a little smarter than his Short Circuit-esque "TV watching to gain the entirety of human history" BS, or as Apocalypse described it "Leeaaaaarnnnnnnnnning" Which was as dumb as the old Lightning Toad quote. And there was a disconnect between him wanted to destroy humanity, before he actually knew anything about humanity over the last few thousand years.
  • His outfit/makeup made him look more like an awkward old man with purple skin, than anything close to the most powerful mutant ever. Nothing about him evoked much fear or intimidation.

These are legit complaints.

I don't know much about Apocalypse but he seems like the quintessential 80s villain from what I know.

I liked the movie but still leaning towards Fish's take on the movie. I could have been a lot better. Seem to say that about most Singer directed movies. Fassbender is a great actor, his work in the bar scene in Inglorious bastards was some Oscar worthy acting.

I love me some Olivia Munn and she barely got to speak in the movie or get flushed out in any meaningful way.

In the comix he's plenty fleshed out and solid as an evil doer.

I completely disagree with those who say the acting was terrible. Hell, I thought the performances took a total $#it script and tried to make the most of it. Other than Hunger-games I thought everyone did a solid job...
