This ties well with the other X-Men movies

Rating: 9/10 (27 May 2016)

This was a kick-ass edition to the X-Men series. The mutants in this were intense with their powers. Some more than what is seen in previous movies. The opening and end scenes were awesome. But everything in between was steady. There was not the usual climax in the middle of the movie that one would expect. It was enough to keep the build up for the end of the movie, and it gave it a stronger finish.
Wolverine had a small role, but he was more fierce and vicious with his appearance than ever before.
Apocalypse could have been a bit better though; he was not doing much when he was on screen. His powers were not exemplified to his full capabilities as he was in the cartoon series. Magneto was stronger than he ever was in his older age. Mystique and Beast were not anything special in this story. Cyclops is still a douche who needs to stop wining all the time. Storm... Why was she from Egypt? Quicksilver and Nightcrawler were hysterical! The world now knows how Professor X lost his hair, finally. Arcangel was better before he received his superior powers.
It was cool to see Jean Grey use her power as the Dark Phoenix. It tied well to the story that happened in the future in "X-Men: The Last Stand".
