X-Men Apocalypse is the kind of bad that makes you hate something you love. Terrible timing too, as my adoration for the franchise had just shot through the roof with Deadpool three months earlier. Bryan Singer, who made an immensely successful effort in re-building his franchise with Days of Future Past, has managed to capsize it all over again. To see actors with the talent of James Mcavoy, Michael Fassbender and Oscar Isaac get dragged into such a dull, cartoonish story wasn’t just embarrassing, it was sad. The only person who cared as little as the audience, Jennifer Lawrence. -Michael Fairbanks
