X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Overloaded action and a cliched villain take the focus away from otherwise strong performers and resonant themes, making X-Men: Apocalypse a middling chapter of the venerable superhero franchise.

Critic Reviews for X-Men: Apocalypse
All Critics (288) | Top Critics (45) | Fresh (138) | Rotten (150) | DVD (1)
It's basically a closing chapter to a feeble trilogy that started out pretty well and then ran out of gas, and now must serve as a prequel to shadowy X-related endeavors yet to come.
Some of the franchise stalwarts, such as Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique, are given too little to do. Most are given too much.
Without a compelling villain, it's hard to resist feeling like it's just more of the (mutated) same.
Comic fans will be mystified. Movie fans will be confused. Everyone will leave disappointed.
There's no spark, and everyone lumbers through the motions. The apocalypse, it turns out, is deadly dull.
Enough already. Singer throws so much mutant at us that nothing sticks. I was almost rooting for Trump to impose a quota.
Audience Reviews for X-Men: Apocalypse
It is hard to shake the feeling that, however satisfying this chapter is, it is in fact unnecessary and not very well-inspired, as it suffers from clumsy dialogue, flat characters defined only by their powers, an uninteresting villain and many gaps in the internal logic of the series.

"X-Men: Apocalypse" is the strangest installment of the franchise yet. It's confusing and muddled. I just wish one of the X-Men had a superpower that could have explained what the heck was going on and why. This film really isn't worth the ticket price unless all you care about is seeing an overabundance of special effects.
Super Reviewer
X-Men Apocalypse is several steps backwards for the mutant franchise. Everything that made the reboot interesting is thrown out the window as Singer takes us back to 2005-esque character portrayals and storytelling with a plethora of completely unnecessary fanservice that could only be appreciated by comic book loyalists. I don't even know where to start with this one to be honest, the tacky villain? The massive cast of opaque characters? Eric's little vacation in fake drama? The hilariously cheesy melodramatic climax? The weak offbeat humour? It's just everything we hated from the first X-Men trilogy brought back to life. Makes me wish for another reboot in the hands of Marvel.
