X-MEN: APOCALYPSE (2016) Movie Reaction! | First Time Watch! | James McAvoy | Michael Fassbender

If I had a nickel for every time Oscar Issach played a Marvel character tied to Egypt, I'd have 2 nickels.

Apocalypse getting rid of the world's nuclear missiles is one of the great comic-book movie moments. There's very few epic scenes like it.

43:39 The Essex Corporation is a reference to Mister Sinister whose real name is Nathaniel Essex.

It’s funny that the 5 minute scene of Wolverine in this movie does a more accurate job of showing his origin than his actual origin movie! Hell in this one we actually get to see him use his berserker rage, he’s even wearing a very similar harness and helmet to the one from the comics from his time as Weapon X.

Idk why Psylocke is so hot in everything. Live action, animation, comics you name it.

The school explosion scene is incredible. Wolverine in this movie is made to look like the classic “Weapon X” version of him from the comics with that headset and everything

In the comics, Storm was born with her white hair. She's descended from a long line of African priestesses/sorceresses, all of whom had blue eyes and white hair. So in addition to her powerful mutant abilities, she has an enormous potential to be a powerful sorceress if she were inclined to study magic.

God damn Michael Fassbender is an incredible actor

"I've never felt power like this before.." Yeah that was Apocalypse saying that through Charles while taking control of him and Cerebro..

Jean doesn't have multiple personalities. In this timeline, he hasn't put up those blocks because of the changes were made when Wolverine went back in time. Also, that isn't the Phoenix. That is just her power. It just happens to resemble a phoenix

Look how far we came. Bryan Singer directed the first two X-Men movies, left for 2 bad movies, came back after Matthew Vaughn saved the franchise, and tied it all together in Days of Future Past. And now in 2016 he gave us X-Men: Apocalypse, aaaand.. we’re back to being bad again.

Has anyone noticed that, at 28:19, despite she's being locked in a cell with a power inhibitor, Mystique has kept her human appearance when she should logically be blue? 🤔

Apocalypse's dinosaur tantrum scream will always get me.

This movie always make me understand Magneto so much.

In comics, Moira is a past love interest, and still friend of Charles...but...she's a genius scientist. That specialized in mutant genetics. Not just another secret agent. And EssexCorp is not "the little guy from the last film"( Bolivar Trask, deftly played by Peter Dinklage)..lol A villain who usually prefers to act through agents and manipulation, Mr. Sinister was born Nathaniel Essex in Victorian London. A human scientist, Essex is inspired by the work of his contemporary Charles Darwin, predicts the rise of mutants, and becomes obsessed with engineering humanity into a perfect race of superhumans. He also gave himself powers. Mister Sinister can manipulate his powerful psionic energy in various ways, including telepathy and telekinesis. However, one of the most devastating uses of this energy comes in the form of powerful concussive blasts that he generates from his hands.

Last movie Wolverine was tossed in the river, military caught him, gave him his claws, locked him up, In this movie Jean finds him, give back some of his memories and creates that weird connection between them we see in the first movies, it all connects....maybe they should watch movies everyday, they can upload whenever ofc, but they should just marathon these because they seem to forget everything, lol

Yeah, in the comics Magneto had three children Twins, Pietro(Quicksilver) and Wanda (scarlet Witch)with Serbian Romani(sometimes called Gypsies) mutant Natyala "Magda" Maximoff who Magento married in the comics. she like Magneto was a survivor of the Concentration camps as the Roma where also targeted by the Nazis for extermination. she had similar powers to her daughter Wanda. They where attacked while living in Eastern Europe,.Magda was killed and Eric believed his children had died as well only to be reunited later after the.twins had grown up. He also has another daughter Lorna Dane(aka Polaris) from a later affair with a woman named Suzzane.Dane when he was living in America. she does not know he is her father till she is a adult after she had already been a student of Professor Xavier. Lorna has similar powers to her father and Interestingly she has been in a on and off again relationship with Alex Summers in the comics since they where teenage members of the team X-Factor . The film's switched Scott(Cyclops) and Alex's birth order. In the comics Cyclops is the oldest of the three Summers brothers. they have a younger brother Gabriel aka Vulcan who was born in the Shiar empire after their Parents where abducted by aliens(yes the summer's family have one isn't he weirder backstroke in comics) . Their father Christopher Summers becomes a Space Pirate leading a crew called the Star Jammers

17:03, actually Storm's hair was always white. The X-Men movies have put all of the characters and timelines into one big blender and hit puree.

Comic fans can curse this film all they want, but its an entertaining flick on its own. It had a lot going for itself, The return of James and Micheal as Charles and Eric, return of Quicksilver and the OP-est of OP scenes which was the coolest, the story was rooted in family and mentorship which is literally what X-Men have always been about. The score was epic, and the story tied nicely at the end. Plus, the closing of this film is the most fitting finale that could have been and that is the hill I'd die on. Those beautiful suits, and the conversation between Charles and Eric with the call back to the seniors, and the last shot closing on the most accurate professor X look of all times! The problem is Infinity war was coming around at the same time and hence nothing seemed satisfactory after all, specially since the last film was DOFP. I'd come back to this film whenever I watch X Men in the future, and I am sure history will be kinder to it. Edited to say: Not every villain needs to be there for 5 movies, and not every story arc needs to be done in 10 movies.

The wolverine scene was actually necessary because it gives context and legitimacy to the new timeline. In days of future past the timeline was reset, in the ending stryker captured Logan to make the weapon x, in the past timeline Logan freed himself after the weapon x experiment succeeded, and that is the one that appeared in xmen origins. In this timeline it was the x men who freed Logan, and that is how this new timeline is legitimized.
