REEL DEAL: X-Men Apocalypse REVIEW

After the time-intervention of Days of Future Past, the X-Men faces a new foe with the latest installment to the franchise, X-Men Apocalypse. And the class gets larger with more mutants and now more exposed to the world with the events of the previous movie.

Now comes the most powerful and first mutant in the world En Sabah Nur which is known as Apocalypse. Like the biblical story, there is also the inclusion of the Four Horsemen, Magneto, Psylocke, Angel, and Storm. 

Key characters like Professor X, Beast and Mystique leads the ensemble which will also welcome the future leaders of the Xavier school like Cyclops and Jean Grey who are fresh from their teens.

Though it would be a relaitively peaceful time unlike the peak of the cold war and the assault on the capital, the unbalanced treatment of mutants all over the world poses a treat to the security of the world. Now Apocalypse comes in to do a worldwide cleansing with the help of his horsemen.

Expect a lot of 80s feel for the movie, though there might me slight inconsistencies that should have been polished, it was able to deliver an action packed superhero movie as it is expected to be.
