  X-Men: Apocalypse 2016

  ★★★★ Added by Giorgio Vega

  This is a much underrated entry into the X-Men movie canon. It sits between the older Wolverine-centric Bryan Singer X-Men movies and the efforts to reboot that universe centred around a young Xavier, Magneto and Mystique.

I found myself viscerally interacting; whether it was to narrative injustice, anger at bullies, or the hypnotic nature of the onscreen horror.

  Anya Taylor Joy and Thomasin McKenzie put in powerful performances, as the camera hypnotically whirls and moves through intricate and superbly clever direction. But…
