X-Men: Apocalypse

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Overloaded action and a cliched villain take the focus away from otherwise strong performers and resonant themes, making X-Men: Apocalypse a middling chapter of the venerable superhero franchise.

Bitch Media

It wasn't terrible, and I don't think it entirely deserves its dismal 47 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But it should serve as a wake-up call regarding the franchise's future direction.

Financial Times

The set-up is sometimes quite intriguing. Especially when it features Michael Fassbender as Magneto (massively magnetic).

Rated: 3/5

National Newspaper Publishers Association

Compared to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (a convoluted snore) or Captain America: Civil War (bombastic and contrived) X-Men: Apocalypse is the one that's worth the price of admission.

You’ll have a fine time watching it, but you won’t remember much of it afterward.

Grant Watson

Fiction Machine

Much of the film is spent either reminding and recalling previous events in other films, or foreshadowing events that are due to happen in a future sequel. The sheer quantity of character threads fracture the film’s structure.

Rated: 6/10

Keith & the Movies

It’s hard to ignore how the film turns a blind eye to several glaring plot problems. I mean am I silly to think they might address the 10 million people killed when a city is leveled?

Pedro F MUIIIIITO bom, porém queria ver mais o Wolverine na forma de Arma-X, porém a cena do Mercúrio correndo é incrível!, e também acho que poderia ter mais lutas.8/10.87%🍅 Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Marcus K These a lot that made this fall short for me. The cast has changed so much over the years. Different actors / actresses have played the roles so different and the story as devolved from the once great story. I don’t think it stood a chance regardless of the actors / actresses and writers. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/24 Full Review Glenn B The story was ok. Being a huge fan of X-Factor comics growing up I had high hopes with Apocalypse being in here. I just have a hard time getting past the makeup on Apocalypse looking like a villain from the Power Rangers. So bad - like I can't believe anybody didn't quality control that. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/21/24 Full Review Audience Member I mean, it's alright, like Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/17/24 Full Review John T. H love seeing Hugh Jackman in the Weapon X outfit! oh yeah and the rest was ok... Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/12/24 Full Review Raymond S Painful to watch - worst film in the series.
