He also finds a young woman named Psylocke, Angel and Magneto and he begins his plans to destroy the world and create it anew! Only the new students at Xavier's school for the gifted stand in his way of world domination! Things begin to be set in motion however, and soon Apocalypse has awakened and he immediately takes a young girl who controls the weather under his wing and gives her incredible powers. Flash years later and we witness a young Scott Summers learning his amazing ability, Mystique still trying to rescue her fellow mutants and Magneto trying to live life as an ordinary man. Unfortunately, the false god is not killed, but only locked away in a sleep. This process is interrupted by people who tire of this being, claiming he is a false god and they collapse the pyramid. The story brings us back to Egypt where a strange being with great powers is about to transfer his consciousness over to a person who has great healing ability. It did do some things I was not fond of, but for the most part this one delivered for me. A lot of people have been panning this one too, but as I said, I enjoyed it as I was expecting to dislike it quite a bit more than I did. I thought that was uncalled for, I do not understand why everyone dislikes that one so much as that one still has some of the better action sequences and fight sequences of any of the X-men films. I was disappointed by the fact that Angel was a bit more underutilized again, not sure why they find it so difficult to do him, but he does have more of a part here than in the his other film, X-men: The Last Stand which this film takes a jab at. Sure, I was not happy when I initially saw that Storm, Magneto and Psylocke were three of Apocalypse's horsemen in the film when none of them were in the comics however, the story of why those three joined worked enough that I am not quite as baffled as I first was. It was not perfect, a Bryan Singer X-men film is never going to be perfect at this point, but it did contain a lot of cool action and quite a few mutants. My expectations were low coming into this one so I am happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised by this film.
Reviewed by Aaron1375 8 / 10 The X-men just band together to avoid the Apocalypse! Will the X-Men live to fight another day? Now, with so much at stake, the shape-shifting Mystique and Professor Charles Xavier's loyal team of defenders are mankind's last hope. Disenchanted with the modern early-1980s world, Apocalypse enlists the help of the mighty mutants-Angel, Ororo Munroe, Psylocke, and a pained Magneto-to destroy our corrupt Earth, and from the ashes, witness the rise of a new world order.
