Director : Bryan Singer
Running Time : 144 mins
An ancient mutant named En Sabah Nur (Isaac) awakens from an ancient slumber and recruits his four horsemen in an attempt to take over the planet by kidnapping Professor Charles Xavier (McAvoy) and taking over his body, thus giving him the psychic ability to control the world’s population.
This is a pretty decent comic book movie which mainly suffers from making the supporting villains so one-dimensional. When you have complex villains like Magneto, it really shows when the rest of the villains (at times including Apocalypse) are so lacking in personality. I don’t know if they were meant to come across as mindless drones, but they certainly did for the most part. The best moment in the entire movie revolves around Evan Peters as Quicksilver rescuing the entire school from an explosion, which is very cleverly thought through, and there are even some comedy digs at the movie itself as some of the Xavier students go to see Return Of The Jedi and discuss it on their way home, plus you get to see Nightcrawler dress like Michael Jackson. X-Men fans will enjoy this, though the Wolverine moments felt forced.
