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. Unlike the previous three entries in the series (including Deadpool), this film is not receiving universal praise. Instead, it's coming under criticism for emphasizing a bigger scale at the expense of such trifling matters as characterization and plot development.

Our first glimpse of Mystique in the film sees her visiting a mutant cage fight in Germany where Angel makes quick work of the Blob. Next, Nightcrawler is sent in to face him – and comes out victorious, accidentally shredding Angel’s wings on the electrocuted cage.

The scene is an entertaining one as it introduces us to several of the film’s main players in a way that will make X-fans happy. It also shows off Angel’s wings and Nightcrawler’s bamfing abilities to great effect and gives us our first look at these new takes on the characters.

Ben Hardy’s Warren Worthington might be hugely short-changed later on, but here he shows a lot of promise. Nightcrawler, meanwhile, really steals the scene, with Kodi Smit-McPhee more than living up to Alan Cumming’s previous fan-favourite version of the character with aplomb.
