Best X-Men Movie (in my opinion)

Rating: 9/10 (27 June 2020)

I would say this is the best X-Men movie, coming in just ahead of First Class.
'X-Men: Apocalypse' is the finale of the Beginnings Trilogy, and combines the best elements of both movies that came before (these being Moira MacTaggert, Major/Colonel Stryker and Quicksilver). It adds new, likeable characters who you grow to love in the original X-Men Trilogy (Scott, Jean, Storm) and closes the arcs of the centre characters from 'First Class' and 'Days of Future Past' (Charles, Mystique, Erik) in imaginative and interesting ways - the main one of these being the fact that Erik now has a family.
The one negative thing about this movie is its villain, and the character that the movie is named after - Apocalypse. Although 'Avengers: Infinity War' came out 2 years after this film, they both feature very similar antagonists. However, Thanos has an understandable motivation for the things he does. Apocalypse, sadly, does not. He just wants to destroy the 1983 world because he's not the most powerful one in it.
Overall this is a great movie and a great end to the trilogy.
