Oh, yeah, I do have some X-Men: Apocalypse thoughts after all.

( i do tend to see films long after the fandom attached to them has ceased and everyone has moved on to captain america or whatnot )

(Yes, I *will* use that quote for all time as it is STILL lolarious to me ( Read more... )

I'm not sure on the exact number of people he saves, but if I remember right it's about two. ( Batman Begins, in which mental people are evil and Batman kills lots of people )

The Day After Tomorrow: A Review
