8 Reasons Why X-Men: Apocalypse Is The Best Instalment In The Franchise To Date

The reviews for X-Men: Apocalypse have been pretty mixed, which comes as a genuine shock after the overwhelmingly positive response to X-Men: Days of Future Past two years ago.

3) It Finally Delivers A Satisfying Take On Wolverine’s Origin

Weapon X

X2 did a pretty good job of teasing Wolverine’s origin story, but X-Men Origins: Wolverine took that and just completely fucked it up in the biggest way possible. However, in the space of just a few minutes, X-Men: Apocalypse delivers a far more satisfying take than both of those in regards to how Logan gained an Adamantium skeleton and lost his memories.

In a gloriously bloody and violent sequence, we finally see Wolverine as Weapon X (helmet and all) as he slices his way through Stryker’s men in a bid to escape. This tells us all we need to know about what the hero has gone through and does so in a way which pays homage to the source material in a satisfying fashion.

Simple, to the point, and a lot of fun, this is how you handle a cameo.
