Handled horribly. In the comic, Walt Simonson built real suspense and a sense of power with Apocalypse. In this movie he's not the man with a plan, instead he's just another mutant also-ran.

They could have just made the movie better, instead of relying on a call-back (to the future)

More service of Bryan Singer to himself than to fans. I would have welcomed some actual character development instead of this subplot shoehorned in

However, it was also terrible

"Hello, pot? This is the kettle. You're black!" It was too smug a line to shoehorn into this trite, uninvolving, mostly dull and redundant movie. Singer needs to retire. Let him go back to ruining Superman.

SPOILERS HERE: All interesting and pedantic in the review, but let's not ignore the fact that Bryan Singer repeatedly paints himself into a corner and we have to pay, in time and $, to watch this directorial onanism. The paint by numbers "character situations" had me looking at my watch ever ten minutes. Oh,…

The Huntsman was the first KS movie where I saw a glimmer of talent beyond the tabloids and Twilight flix. I was happy to see it flourish in American Ultra!

Yeah, this ep was a lot better than the grade given here. Not missed here, but I'm sure it went over the heads of many non-AV Club viewers that the show was "biting the hand that slaps them." It was very welcome to hear a show comment on the futility and illogic of bringing a handful of yokels into a room and…

If you're not watching "The Grinder," you're missing one of the best sitcoms of the last 10 years. It's super smart, very meta, and incredibly well cast, acted and written.

Bring Steward back, ASAP, for any reason. Just get him back on the air! (Wonder how John Oliver feels now that Big Daddy is coming to HBO?)

Yeah….you can recut a lame trailer, but it doesn't fix the problem. Unless this is one of the biggest fan pranks/misdirects in the history of movies, it looks like the original script has been dusted off and someone went in to change "he" to "she." Feig, who gave us Freaks & Geeks, should know better; and I doubt…

Compare this low budget, with over 15 realized CHARACTERS with the hollow, cloying, patronizing NON characters of Batman V Superman, and once again we see that A LOT of what it takes to make a movie good lives within the screenplay. I'm also giving 100% credit to the excellent ensemble cast, a lot of whom I have a…

Maybe I just expect so little from music these days; that's why I comment on the visuals. To be honest, Babymetal's performance on Colbert was not only great to watch, but sounded interesting too.

There was a time, not too long ago, when coming to an AV Club review was a place to find reasonable criticism, with some pretension, always tempered with insightful observation and the feeling that reviews were written for the community, rather than separate from. But mostly I've found not only an "us vs them"…

I think to talk about "Lemonade" as just an album of songs tends to ignore the really great visuals. It's like a return to form of the great video days of Fincher, Nispel and other directors and artists who dared to move the medium forward visually. So those commenters who, for example, say "but are the songs…

The "cliffhanger" is NOT "who did Negan kill?" It's - HOW CAN RICK & CO MOVE FORWARD NOW THAT THE "NEW WORLD ORDER" HAS COME OUT OF THE SHADOWS AND STATED THEIR PURPOSE - to enslave humanity to provide for what they believe will be the post-apocalyptic status quo?

I think, and the finale shows, that Negan's philosphy is "abandon all hope." He breaks people down, and they do his bidding.

Negan doesn't simply kill them, or raid Alexandria, because his entire economy and government is based upon taking 50% of all that, for all intents and purposes, those he lets live provide as SLAVE LABOR (The Hill). If he kills the farmers, then he has to farm. But if he keeps them alive and takes and takes, keeping…

I say this over and over, but there are two "types" of WD fans. One is in it for the zombies - er, walkers - and the killing and head crushing. The other can't turn away because we're appalled by the fact that the seeming dissolving of humanity and civilization in the time of crisis has made the living more…

The "cliffhanger" is - all of our assumptions (via the viewpoint of Rick & Co) about the post-apocalypse world are 100% changed now, and probably for good. Unless another "big bad" challenges Negan's "New World Order" - in numbers or strength - this is a complete rug-pull on this belief we've had, via Rick & Co, that…
