Many other characters were also left in the sidelines, even though they had more screen time than Jubilee. Sadly, apart from a few lines and scenes, we do not get to see Jubilation Lee jump into action with the other young mutants: Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Nightcrawler. The things that X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)did not get right include the obvious exclusion of Jubilee, who in early promos featured prominently and led fans to believe we would finally see our fireworks blasting mutant in action. Audiences laugh at his antics and quips, which balances out some of the movies misgivings. Quicksilver’s inclusion is really great comic relief for a somewhat darker storyline. The movie does inject some humour via a healthy dose of Peter Maximoff aka Quicksilver. These little snippets may link to upcoming FOX or Marvel movies, like Wolverine 3, and Gambit, and also introduce audiences to a new batch of mutants who will take centre stage in the next X-Men movie. Several revelations were made in X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) that are easily missed by the average moviegoer who isn’t familiar (or obsessed) with the X-Men franchise. Bryan Singer, has done a great job of injecting new life into the characters and has set the scene for upcoming X-Men movies. X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) almost feels like the pages of the comics have come to life, and fans finally get to see a battle on screen as depicted in the comics.Īnother thing that the movie gets right is filling in the gaps between X-Men: First Class (2011) and the original X-Men Movie (2000). The ensuing battle against Apocalypse is intense and fans are given a glimpse into the fighting prowess of our mutant heros. Mystique makes a return in this movie as a reluctant hero and idol for mutantkind. The inclusion of Magneto leads to Apocalypse clashing against the X-Men. In this instalment, the four horsemen are: Magneto, Storm, Psylocke, and Angel. To realise this vision, he brainwashes “recruits” four mutants to act as his Horsemen. He wants total dominance for himself and for mutant kind. En Sabah Nur (Apocalypse) is not happy with the current state of the world. ![]() Apocalypse has lain dormant for millennia and his reemergence in the 1980s is a rude awakening. ![]() The year is 1983, Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters is flourishing, mutants are still being persecuted, and an ancient evil has been reawakened. X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) is set a decade after the events from X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014). In saying that, I must admit that for many casual moviegoers with no real knowledge of the X-Men universe, there will be key moments lost in all of the action. X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)is the latest instalment in the freshly rebooted X-Men movie franchise and it is a welcome breath of fresh air for many fans of the X-Men comics. Non-comic book geeks might miss key points.
