The X-Men film series was once my favourite superhero franchise, and while it still provides an entetaining couple of hours for film goers, the new crop of mutants is lacking any chemistry and just doesn't have the same spark of mutants past.

Of course Apocalypse has a plan, and that plan involves him joining together the strongest mutants he can find to become his four horsemen, including a younger Storm (Shipp), a slightly darker version of Angel (Hardy) and the kick ass Psylocke (Munn). As always, tempted by the bad side, due to a tragedy in his life, Magneto soon joins the horsemen; and the battle for good intensifies ready for the final climactic battle.

The only cast member that I can categorically say is an absolute stand out is Evan Peters as Quicksilver. He brings comedy, action and a superb performance. It all seems to come effortlessly too him, and each scene that he appears in is guarenteed to be an entertaining one.

My issue with this film is mainly a personal one, but the film itself is brilliant; it is engaging, adrenaline pumping, and eeverything an X-Men film should be; it just lacks the original casts sparkle. All in all, X-Men: Apocalypse is a must see.
