10 Moments From X-Men: Apocalypse That Are Actually Amazing

You can’t have failed to notice that reviews for the latest installment in the X-Men franchise, X-Men: Apocalypse, have been incredibly polarized.

Instead, it's coming under criticism for emphasizing a bigger scale at the expense of such trifling matters as characterization and plot development.

1) Something Sinister This Way Comes

As any self-respecting superhero movie fan knows, there’s always a scene after the credits and X-Men: Apocalypse is no exception. Much like Days of Future Past, this movie uses the slot to tease upcoming installments – getting us excited for what’s to come in the process.

In the scene (which you can see in the video above), an officious-looking fellow retrieves a vial of Wolverine’s blood from Alkali Lake and puts it in a briefcase with two other vials of glowing liquids. The briefcase is marked Essex Corp – a reference to the one and only Mr Sinister, perhaps the best X-Men villain not yet in the movies. A twisted geneticist, he’s obsessed with creating his own mutant clone army.

Word has it that the villain and his corporation will play a part in the upcoming Wolverine 3 and the Gambit solo movie. How he’ll factor in is currently unknown, but we’re thrilled to finally see him introduced into this universe.
