MOVIE REVIEW: X-MEN APOCALYPSE

Rating: A MILLION STARS

Movie Description:
Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a God. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel's X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto, to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven with the help of Professor X must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

My Review:
Directed by Bryan Singer, the X-Men series is back with more action, more apocalyptic adventure and more 80s!

I honestly can’t put into words how much I absolutely loved this movie!

The cast – both old and new – brought the classic X-Men characters to life, I loved seeing younger versions of Scott Summers, Jean Grey, Peter Maximoff, Kurt Wagner and Hank McCoy.
It was wonderful to see the younger version of Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr return for this movie – portrayed admirably by James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender.
Although you could barely recognise him, Oscar Isaac delivered the role of Apocalypse remarkably! He brought the power and domination of Apocalypse to life as he recruited his four Horsemen, Storm, Magneto, Archangel and Psylocke.

The action within X-Men Apocalypse was astounding! From cage fights, old friends reuniting and heartbreaking losses to a battle like no other with an epic ending! This movie couldn’t possibly have more action if it tried; I personally loved every second of this movie and can’t make any complaints.
X-Men Apocalypse intended to produce an apocalyptic battle between the young X-Men and Apocalypse of which indeed was delivered to audiences.

It’s such a shame that this saga is coming to an end, I hope that we will see more of the younger X-Men in the future.
