May 27, 2016 · Perhaps, “X-Men: Apocalypse” also exhibits the worst traits of these sort of stories in the comics, which can be damningly inert, nihilistic, and overcrowded on their own, before even being adapted for the screen. Despite Apocalypse’s backstory and grandstanding, he spends more time imbuing his Four Horseman with power than wielding his own.

The year is 1983 and Charles Xavier, wearing a fetching mauve sweater and looking as if he’s been watching too much Miami Vice, is busy tutoring a new generation of gifted children. And that’s what X-Men: Apocalypse is really all about – building for the future, ensuring several more X-Men movies can be made. Approached squarely on those terms, it’s a lot of fun, and new cast are likeable and take well to their iconic roles. But if you’re expecting a more direct continuation of First Class and Days of Future Past, like I was, you might be a touch disappointed.
A decade has passed since we last saw Xavier, Magneto, and the rest. For some little has changed in that time. Xavier and Beast are taking in and teaching more gifted kids who can't find a place within society. Meanwhile, Magneto has begun a new life under an assumed identity. But this peace is shattered when an ancient force – Apocalypse, who many believe to be the world's first mutant – awakens and wishes to destroy the world. After the time-travelling convolutions of Days of Future Past, Apocalypse is refreshingly simple and straightforward. But this simplicity of plot also extends elsewhere, as the depth and complexity of DOFP and First Class is stripped away.
Both of those movies invested considerable time in establishing and elaborating a few key relationships. At the centre of it all, of course, was the problematic friendship of Professor X (James McAvoy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender), but the pair barely share a scene together here. That fascinating relationship, which so neatly condenses the wider mutant predicament, is put on hold, and as a result the movie inevitably loses some of its emotional weight and complexity.
As a conclusion to a trilogy, Apocalypse falls somewhat short. It marginalises key relationships in favour of establishing new ones, and lacks the depth and distinctive historical flavour of its immediate predecessors. But taken as the next chapter in the series, Apocalypse is an undeniably fun and entertaining adventure and does a pretty good job ...
