X-Men: Apocalypse - 8/10
Seriously this movie is much better than the reviews are saying. Yeah, sure, the world in comparison to the major characters of the film does seem a little small and takes a back seat, but the movie is pretty damn good. There is a *major* swipe taken at X-Men: The Last Stand during the movie, pretty much everyone in the audience got the reference and laughed. It's kind of weird that this is somewhat an origin story for characters that we already know in the X-Men universe, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Angel and Archangel, but they do just enough character building for them to not distract from the rest of the movie, or take anything away from any of the other ones. And holy ****, about 2/3 into the movie, full-on Weapon-X Wolverine is unleashed and kills the **** out of everyone in his path. Sure, it's pretty predictable, but what super-hero movie isn't? I would ranks this in the top 3 X-Men films. Yes, there is a post-credits scene - which you can't be certain is building up to the next X-Men movie, or the next Wolverine movie, but it definitely reveals that the next villain, for whichever movie they make, will be Mr. Sinister.
