    Сast and Crew

    X-Men: Apocalypse Comic Book

    Overview

    The film "X-Men: Apocalypse" is inspired by the comic book series from Marvel Comics, primarily focusing on the character Apocalypse, one of the X-Men's most formidable foes. The character of Apocalypse first appeared in the X-Factor series in the mid-1980s.

    Creators

      • Apocalypse was created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, two of the most influential figures in the comic book industry.

    Comic Book Storyline

    The storyline involving Apocalypse often revolves around themes of survival of the fittest, with Apocalypse believing in the evolution of mutants as the next step for humanity. He is known for his immense power and his philosophy that only the strongest should survive.

    Key Elements

      • Apocalypse's Origin: The character is one of the first mutants, born in ancient Egypt, and has lived for thousands of years.

      • Four Horsemen: Apocalypse often recruits mutants to serve as his Four Horsemen, enhancing their powers to serve his cause.

      • Conflict with X-Men: The X-Men frequently battle Apocalypse to prevent his plans for world domination and the destruction of weaker beings.

    Film Adaptation

    The film adaptation, directed by Bryan Singer, takes inspiration from these comic book elements but adapts them to fit the cinematic universe established in previous X-Men films. While the core themes and characters are retained, certain plot points and character dynamics are altered for the film's narrative.

    Production

    The film was announced by Bryan Singer in December 2013 via Twitter, before Days of Future Past was released to theaters. In the same month, Simon Kinberg, Dan Harris, and Michael Dougherty were revealed by Singer to be attached to work on the film's story. According to Singer, the film would focus on the origin of the mutants, and features the younger versions of Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm. Singer also said that he was considering Gambit and a younger version of Nightcrawler to appear. According to Kinberg, it would take place in 1983, and completes a trilogy that began with 2011's X-Men: First Class. In September 2014, 20th Century Fox officially announced that Singer would direct the film. Singer has called the film "kind of a conclusion of six X-Men films, yet a potential rebirth of younger, newer characters" and the "true birth of the X-Men".

    The latest in the X-Men movie franchise is just X-meh.

    Unlike some of the cheesier remnants of the '80s, we’ll probably want to see more of these new X-Men.

    Despite the undeniable presence of a huge amount of action, X-Men: Apocalypse is decidedly a case of more is less.

    This film could have completed the prequel trilogy in an epic way and, in fact, that’s exactly what it does. Apocalypse had a claim to a more serious embodiment as a villain and could compete with Thanos, but not fate. Visually beautiful, Mercury’s run – Actor on the level. I recommend getting acquainted.

    Well, none at all! Everything is somehow chaotic and crumpled, all events happen too quickly, not a single character is revealed or developed. In fact, all the preparations and conversations of the characters are just transitions between not the best action scenes.

    Amazing thing. The same director, the same actors, the same budget and… complete trash :(Compared to "Days of Future Past" this is complete crap. Bad illogical plot, idiotic characters, absolutely unnecessary pathos. Everything is bad
