Days of Future Past was a doozy. Apocalypse... not so much.

Some of the franchise stalwarts, such as Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique, are given too little to do. Most are given too much.

Enough already. Singer throws so much mutant at us that nothing sticks. I was almost rooting for Trump to impose a quota.

The set-up is sometimes quite intriguing. Especially when it features Michael Fassbender as Magneto (massively magnetic).

If this sixth instalment is not the apocalypse to the X-Men universe, then maybe it should be.

It's basically a closing chapter to a feeble trilogy that started out pretty well and then ran out of gas, and now must serve as a prequel to shadowy X-related endeavors yet to come.

There's no spark, and everyone lumbers through the motions. The apocalypse, it turns out, is deadly dull.

Bryan Singer has managed to pump out what is probably the best X-Men film after First Class. He really does demonstrate what a difference a director can make to a mega-film such as this.

Comic fans will be mystified. Movie fans will be confused. Everyone will leave disappointed.
