Chris Nashawaty at Entertainment Weekly branded Apocalypse “a third-tier X-Men movie’ while The Telegraph’s Tim Robey suggested it might be “the end of the line” for fans of the mutant franchise with the film “better than Batman v Superman, but not by an awful lot.”
X-Men Apocalypse is very rousing fare even if it does leave a mind-boggling number of loose ends and unanswered questions.
Apocalypse isn’t quite the end of the world for X-Men fans, but it might be the end of the line.
Despite a few positive reactions, the overwhelming sense is that X-Men: Apocalypse fails to live up to its praised predecessor Days of Future Past.
