Quicksilver can solve literally any problem, but essentially is just used once, just like DoFP.

Any problem except the getting to Magneto part which would be the second time they "used him" and the third time when he clowned Apocalypse until he got his leg broke. Maaaaaybe not quite as over powered and underutilized as people describe him.

This was a live action version of the 90's cartoon and had everything from Nightcrawler's red jacket to a trip to the shopping mall and a battle against Apocalypse.

I really liked the way the handled Angel and the Weapon X scene was perfect.

If you grew up watching and loving the cartoon it's a fun movie not so much for fans of modern grim dark DCCU or the every movie same movie MCU.

The soundtrack was also period appropriate and well done.

4/5 for fun and nostalgia
