Lucasfilm orders reshoots for Star Wars: Rogue One. &amp;nbsp;Is the film in trouble? X-Men Apocalypse&amp;nbsp;- Key&amp;nbsp;Points Good Points&amp;nbsp; Very fun summer popcorn movie. Features a good amount of comic book source material (Dark Phoenix Saga\/Age of Apocalypse). Lots of very pretty CGI (if you are into that sort of thing) &quot;Meh&quot; Points Not much joy in this movie as the characters are generally just going through the motions. Minimal 80's references as compared to Days of Future Past. Quicksilver's character arc sucks. &amp;nbsp;He wastes a perfect moment to reveal to Magneto that he is his son when his entire motivation for the film was to tell him that he is his son. Apocalypse is wasted as a villain when compared to other media's interpretation (Age of Apocalypse and X-Men animated TV Show). General X-Men Continuity Fuckery Never revealed why Mystique was Striker at the end of Days of Future Past and how the real Striker got Wolverine. Apocalypse pretty much helps fix the glaring continuity problem from X-Men (2000) where Xavier mentions that Magneto helped build Cerebro. &amp;nbsp;At the end of the film, Magneto and Jean Grey are seen rebuilding Xavier's mansion which includes Cerebro.
