Review of X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) by Tim L — 12 Nov 2016

History's first mutant with the ability to take on the powers of others is resurrected with unlimited power and more than a little bit of a God complex. Professor X and his gang of young heroes have to stop him before he fulfils his plan to take over the world.

As a lifelong fan, any X-Men film is always going to be pretty good in my book. That said, I probably found this chapter the most hit and miss of the series and a bit of a let down after the brilliant Days of Future Past.

Whilst there were some great moments and it looked great, Apocalypse seemed like a 'pick n mix' of ideas and elements thrown together, rather than a consistently engaging whole.

Worth a watch for any fans of the franchise, but don't expect it to blow you away in the same way as some of the other X-Men films.
