Unfortunately, Isaac’s Apocalypse is similar to Tom Hardy’s Bane (rather than Heath Ledger’s Joker), as he’s just brawn, brute, monosyllabic and rather dull. His augmentation is sabotaged, though, which results in him being trapped for centuries.īut after its opening act, Apocalypse never pushes on or becomes more potent, with the sight of Oscar Issac’s Apocalypse traveling to pick up Olivia Munn’s Psylocke, Alexandra Shipp’s Storm, Ben Hardy’s Angel, and Michael Fassbender’s Magneto being more plodding rather than enthralling.
X-Men: Apocalypse primarily takes place in 1983, but it begins in ancient Egypt where Oscar Isaac’s En Sabah Nur/Apocalypse, the world’s first mutant, looks to merge with Celestial technology to become even more powerful. Plus, some of its apocalyptic action even brought on a touch of the dreaded superhero fatigue. It tries to juggle too many plots and subplots, including introducing us to younger versions of characters we’d previously met and adored over a decade ago. But it ultimately lacks the cohesion and energy of Days Of Future Past. Apocalypse is also still resoundingly entertaining.

So when I say that X-Men: Apocalypse is Singer's worst effort in the series to date (but still obviously better than Last Stand, and even First Class or any of the Wolverine films), that’s only because of how scintillating his previous efforts were.
2000’s X-Men and 2003’s X2 helped to both legitimize and kick-start the comic-book boom, while 2014’s X-Men: Days Of Future Past eclipsed both of them and is right up there as one of the finest ever entries to the genre.
