Also known as X-Men: The Mummy Returns Part 2. 

Flailing, repetitive, shapeless, silly, yeah to all that, but stick with it and you'll find one of the most tantalizingly bugnuts entries in this series, one that mostly even sheds the usual bread-and-butter thuddingly obvious social politics and the recent episodes' clumsy Cold War shenanigans for something way weirder and thornier. Seems actively engaged with the idea of these characters' ceaseless recapitulation of emotional baggage and secret pain and cyclical re-radicalization, at the end even dredging up from the depths the raw material of past trauma in order to form it into new structures. Doesn't even peak with such craziness as Magneto laying waste to a deserted Auschwitz or a nuclear Armageddon reflected in Stan Lee's stupid sunglasses. These movies will probably never get back to the relative simplicity, dare I say elegance, of X2, and accordingly this is a total mess, but wow what a mess.

Right from the opening scene, set in 3600 B.C., "X-Men: Apocalypse" challenges what you know about the past. Take, for example, the Egyptian pyramids. Once thought to be graves for the pharaohs, it turns out that the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were conceived as an instrument for history's very first mutant, a quasi-immortal purple guy called En Sabah Nur (a.k.a. "Apocalypse") to ritualistically transfer his consciousness from a dying body to a healthy one. Ben Carson was way off the mark.

How do you waste Oscar Issac?

This isn't as bad as everyone said it was! But they did The Blob dirty tho

The chemistry between all of the superbly cast characters is what makes these movies watchable, and ultimately what saves them slightly, especially in instances like this, where the action is so generic and the plot points so convenient that they simply underwhelm and fail to stand out from literally every exhaustive CGI-drenched superhero film released in the last decade. And sadly, it seems we are nowhere near close to the end of such franchises.
Luckily, as I say, the characters are very likeable. I also believe that Fassbender and McAvoy are one of the greatest on-screen pairings in all of cinema.

Mmm, Michael Fassbender...

Not the worst super hero ever made, and certainly not the worst X-Men movie. However it isn't a good movie. 

It brings in characters that talk about how great they are. Both great at being bad, or great at being good. But neither are interesting, entertaining or relatable. It's all judt a sterile high budget team super hero movie that spends a lot of time talking about stuff I really could careless about. 

It's actually really boring. Like, really boring. The most intrsting part of the movie is when Magneto is in Germany hanging out, trying to hide himself from the world. If that part of the movie was the entire thing, I would have god damn loved this lump of shit!

But instead we got a CGI turd. I would recommend it, but it's not the worst turd I've had to watch bake in the sun.

here's the thing i loooove xmen. ive read some comics, ive seen the movies and i dont know why it took me so long to finally watch it. now i know why because this movie is a mess. 30 minutes in and i was already bored, cgi was pretty bad, jubilee barely got screentime and mystique (or should i say whytestique? where did that "mutant and proud" stuff go, raven?) was leading xmen??? i dont wanna sound too harsh but xmen sweeties im so sorry this movie happened to you.

Despite some fun moments and strong performances from Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy. The film is a decent though very flawed film of the X-Men series as it features a bloated climax and a very lame antagonist that doesn't give Oscar Isaac much to work with.
