"X-Men Apocalypse" Movie Review (Spoilers)

          "X-Men Apocalypse" is the latest installment in the X-Men Franchise and the third and final film in the Prequel Trilogy. It has faced a lot of hate and judgement but the fans of X-Men love it. I am going to be 100% honest, I loved this movie. I personally enjoyed it more than "Days of Future Past". Now, let's get into the story. The story starts out as a dying God named Apocalypse finds a new, younger body, and Apocalypse transfers his conscience to that younger body. As the transference is taking place, the pyramid collapses. 
          Many, many years later, Agent Moira MacTaggert is in Egypt, and she finds the collapsed Pyramid. She goes and finds people awakening Apocalypse. She goes back to the CIA, and tells Professor Xavier. After Apocalypse awakens, he goes and recruits four very powerful Mutants to aid him in his effort to destroy this world, and from the ashes, he and his Four Horsemen will build a better one. After most of that has happened, they have the huge epic showdown at the end which was my favorite part of the movie. Now, let's talk about the big Jean Grey reveal at the end. Phoenix! Magneto, (who turned on Apocalypse, and helped the X-Men) Cyclops, and Storm (who also turned on Apocalypse) were all focusing their fire on Apocalypse. Then, Jean Grey gets really fired up, literally! She hovers in the air, and lights on fire, revealing a Red-Orange Bird Shape made of fire behind her as she hovers. It was really cool! Overall, I went into "X-Men Apocalypse" with high expectations, and those expectations were fulfilled. I give "X-Men Apocalypse" a 9.5/10.
