X-Men: Apocalypse

Set in the 1980s, X-Men: Apocalypse is the latest in 20th Century Fox's X-Men movie franchise first started in 2000. Bryan Singer once again returns to direct for the fourth time after the first two films and the previous film, Days of Future Past. The film sees Xavier's team fight off the powerful and ancient mutant villain, Apocalypse, who has recruited his own group that includes Magneto and Storm and hopes to rule the world and subjugate anyone who opposes him. Apocalypse introduces new mutants never seen before, like Psylocke and Jubilee, while reintroducing older mutants in the new timeline created by Days of Future Past, like Cyclops and Jean Grey. The superhero movie has many amazing moments but sadly has a lot more problems throughout the whole thing. One of the best scenes ever committed to film was Quicksilver's super speed mansion save that was definitely better than the one in Days, with Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) as a great song throughout it. Once again James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender deliver amazing and believable performances as Professor X and Magneto, respectively. Fassbender especially really shows how far Magneto can go when everything he has is taken away and loses all hope. Oscar Isaac plays the title character and though he does a masterful performance the fact is he felt way too powerful and had a lot of random powers, along with never explaining how he knows or has certain things especially someone from Ancient Egypt. What I feel is an example of the studio trying to hard to push an actress due to her success as well as wanting to show her true face without makeup too much, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique is forced into too many moments and not shown in her blue form too much, while Lawrence at times feeling annoyed at certain points. One huge highlight is the one scene that Hugh Jackman is in as Wolverine where he goes on a rampage against his captives in what I feel is the most ferocious he's ever been. One problem I find that leads to another is the repetition of mutant rights, Xavier making a speech about how the world changes and mutants are a part of that, and Magneto being convinced not to do what he does and then parting ways with Professor X instead of staying. This leads to the problem of the X-Men being owned by Fox rather than Marvel, since they're only made so they keep the rights and through that only have a limited time to make the film and thus don't have enough time to check over the script.
