Not evolved

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

Directed by Bryan Singer this comic book sequel stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Oscar Isaac. Awakened after millennia of sleep the first mutant seeks to take control of the world from humans.

Taking one of the classic villains from the comic books this film never really gets to grips with it's antagonists repugnant views on evolution. While this is an enjoyable romp it does repeat a lot of the territory we have seen with these characters before, Magneto in particular. Largely the film is well made but does make a few unnecessary changes to characters from the comics, otherwise it is a fine watch.


3/5
