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.

Esta película tenía potencial, lastima que lo desperdiciaron, es bastante entretenida pero no está al nivel de las anteriores. Algo que me gusta y que a la vez me desagrada, fue el desarrollo que le dieron a Eric, solo lo querían otra vez como villano. Tiene buenos efectos especiales y los personajes siguen teniendo su carisma así que esta pasable.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Fun story that connects to First Class, like usual James McAvoy is amazing as Professor X but the villain is not good. I love Nightcrawler, he's the second best character in the movie. Ok movie, good continuation to First Class but not as good, also good setup for Jean Gray.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

ADjustinG2013

Struggles to balance the scale of the story and crams too much in just for an elongated cameo, still has terrific moments of fun and epicness. It's hard to surpass the previous film but can't match it either

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.

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

Rated: 3/5

Dwight Brown

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.

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?

Rated: 3/5

Deep Focus Review

If there's one characteristic that sets the X-Men franchise apart from the MCU, its how rarely the films remain true to the comics, both in their storylines and characters.
