Comment 15 people found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? YesNo Report abuseThe X-Men films have been going strong for 16 years now, and as evidenced by this year's smash Deadpool, the series shows no signs of slowing down. I am personally a huge fan of the X-Men, and for the most part, the movies have not disappointed. X-Men Apocalypse was almost immediately on my must watch list; and Oscar Isaac being cast as the titular villain only furthered my anticipation for this film. So the question is: Is X-Men Apocalypse a worthy film?
Well I will confess that there is a lot to like in X-Men Apocalypse. Once again, its the immensely talented Michael Fassbender delivering another energetic performance as Erik Lensherr(Magneto). He does a fantastic job here; there were several scenes where his acting was so powerful I was brought to tears. James McAvoy also doesn't disappoint as Professor Charles Xavier; in fact, the scenes he shares with Apocalypse are some of the best of the movie. Evan Peters not only has another scene stealing sequence, but I'm glad Bryan Singer decided to further utilize his character in X-Men Apocalypse; so that the audience gets to know more about him.
Talking about Apocalypse is one thing; talking about the actor who portrays him is another. Oscar Isaac does a nice job throughout the movie as En Sabah Nur; and I enjoyed how the duration of his voice shifted in certain scenes. His design isn't as close to the comics as I'd hoped, but that doesn't take away from Oscar's performance. Alexandra Shipp delivers a surprisingly nice turn as Storm, while Sophie Turner and Tye Sheridan also fit their respective roles of Jean Grey and Cyclops rather well.
The action scenes are sure to provide excitement in X-Men Apocalypse; and the final battle is pretty exciting.Read more �

I have to say, I tend to award films star ratings based on what they are, rather than on what they are not, or indeed lack. In this case, X-men Apocalypse delivers well enough wonder to warrant a five star rating.
I agree with other reviewers. How the critics got this one completely and abjectly WRONG. You absolutely must see this film if you are an x-men fan; it's astonishing.
The newcomers are wonderful. Sophie Turner makes an excellent Jean Grey (perfect in fact), and although I really didn't think anyone could replace Famke Janssen well in the role, it's happened quite automatically here.
Mystique's role is not overplayed, and the villainous aspect of her character that's more prevalent in the source material is no longer missed; in fact, I quite like this Mystique now. Also, make no mistake; her presence does not overshadow the other characters in any way, which is something I think a lot of people were worried about. On the contrary, every character shines quite brilliantly here.
Some of the more B characters don't get a huge amount of backstory, but that's to be expected in such a large universe of characters. This is especially true in a film with this monumental villain, a secondary arch villain, and seven or eight major X-men players, not to mention the core of Xavier, Storm, Jean, Cyclops, Magneto and in other places � Wolverine. So the critics are completely off base there again.
Oscar Isaac's performance is fantastic, and contrary to what critics have stated, his on screen presence is not diminished by the makeup and costume; it is merely enhanced. The sonic affects on his voice create a visceral experience, and elevate the character to really menacing proportions.Read more �

X-Men: Apocalypse is another chapter in a franchise that director Bryan Singer setup in 2000, and returned with the Days of Future Past in 2014. It's a heavy CGI action-adventure with bold, effortlessly mixed emotions, characterization, social commentary and mythology that most have come to expect.
With so much going on, it's incredible how the cast of young and old fit so well together. Several returning characters are given emotionally diverse scenes, while new mutants are allowed to breathe and grow as young, vulnerable, yet heroic students. The cast delivers performances ranging from good to great. Once again, Michael Fassbender portrays his intense inner struggle perfectly while Jennifer Lawrence looks and sounds like she would rather be elsewhere.
At a runtime of 2 hours 24 minutes, the pace certainly drags at times. It's to be expected since the X-Men movies are known to be more intellectual than others. Overall, the tone is dark, dealing with heavy themes of loss and inner conflict, yet there is comic relief for all to enjoy. At times the CGI felt overblown, but there is no denying the action scenes are stunning visual eye candy. No shaky-cam or over editing, just intelligent, well framed direction that's easy to follow without trying too hard.
X-Men: Apocalypse feels like an end and a beginning. It ties up what came before with what lies ahead. Bryan Singer and Matthew Vaughan continue to inject fresh ideas with familiar elements, building an unpredictable universe with deep stories, creative visuals and fantastical characters.
