![]() At the very end of ‘ Days of Future Past‘, we were teased with the coming of ‘Apocalypse‘ and THE apocalypse, and that’s where this film starts out, way back in 3600 BCE to a time that resembles something from dunes of ‘Stargate‘ where a mutant named Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac) is gaining super powers to destroy the world and then rule it. I probably would almost have preferred that, but still, ‘Apocalypse‘ is an excellent film and is my favorite ‘X-Men’ movie to date, running alongside ‘ X2‘. I can’t imagine if this film came out in 2000 instead of the ‘X-Men‘ we saw back then. It’s quite mind boggling, and this new film ‘X-Men: Apocalypse‘ seems to take everything we’ve seen since Matthew Vaughn’s ‘ First Class’ and sculpt it into this one film. From there, we have seen the Marvel and DC Universes take off into a multi-billion dollar industry. If you’re just counting purely ‘X-MEN‘ films, than this is number six with it being number 4 from director Bryan Singer, who started this whole comic book movie craze sixteen years ago with the first ‘X-Men‘ film. ![]() And we are back with yet another ‘ X-MEN‘ movie, making this the 9th film in the franchise, that is if you count the ‘Wolverine’ movies and what not.
