The mother of mutant resurrected to "clean" the earth by destroying the entire civilization. The X-men once again have to come together and fight the powerful Apocalypse.

Rating: 6/10 (23 May 2016)

How do you feel if you were an outcast? An outsider? Feeling unaccepted and being labeled as a freak. I believe only few people able to understand how does it feel to be a mutant, and yet, this is the most important element that gone missing in the last installment of X-Men movie "Apocalypse".
As the man who brought this issue when he set up X-Men installment back in 2000, Bryan Singer tended to put aside the major issue when the movie was firstly introduced, or maybe he felt that he had to move forward and assumed that mutants are more welcome in 2016. So, when Nightcrawler (blue mutant with tail and cool bang) were out with his new X-men friend, Scott and Jean, to watch The Return of the Jedi, there's no scene about other movie goers reaction to see mutant among them, considering the movie set in 1983 (check the year when Return of the Jedi being released). Please notice when the movie set in 2000 it opened with argumentation between Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr about mutant existence among "normal" people. It goes on until X-Men III : The Last Stand. Brett Ratner still continued to divide the mutants in two.
Apparently, when the main issue has been put aside, we only focus to the next best thing happen in this movie, the fight between good guy and the bad guy. I didn't recall anything new in that movie as I have seen all the tricks. Cerebro? Check! Metal control? Check! Shape Changing? Check! Laser beam? Check! Even the cool slow mo? Still cool but check! Wolverine cameo?Yes! Check and check and check! Cards were on the table and honestly I was bored that I barely hold my yawns.
So, what new? Nothing. None. It's actually exactly the same world extinction but retold in different perspective (enemy). If you want to compare, just watch X-Men III: The Last Stand which most of critics said that Brett Ratner was the destroyer of the franchise. I wonder what the critics would say now to Bryan Singer, the Apocalypse? Well it fits with title of the movie.
And it's funny thing to know Bryan Singer also hated the third installment of the previous X-Men series. Maybe it was because not him who sit on the director's chair, or maybe he just hated Brett Ratner? I don't know, but clearly Jean uttered it on the scene after she watched the third movie of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, she concluded her argument with Scott: "The third (movie) always stink!" Well, if Jean could read people mind, I believed she spoke on behalf of Singer's thought about X-Men III: The Last Stand, or if I may add, Jean also spoke on behalf of me, that this third movie of the new X-Men is stink (Considering X-Men: First Class is the first movie for the reboot of the franchise).
