“X-Men Apocalypse is typical of what you would expect from a Marvel X-Men movie.”

“Though far from the worst X-Men film, Apocalypse was still a disappointment, because until this entry, every Bryan Singer X-Men film had been excellent.”

“Plenty of action with good acting, however, Apocalypse (the villain) lacks originality.”
