Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau react to and review X-Men: Apocalypse (2016), directed by Bryan Singer (X2: X-Men United, Superman Returns). Set in the 1980s, the film introduces the ancient mutant Apocalypse, an all-powerful being who awakens to reshape the world alongside his Four Horsemen. James McAvoy (Split, Atonement) returns as Charles Xavier alongside Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds, Steve Jobs) as Magneto, whose emotional storyline remains one of the film’s strongest elements. Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games, Silver Linings Playbook) reprises Mystique, with Oscar Isaac (Dune, Ex Machina) as Apocalypse. The film also features Evan Peters (WandaVision, American Horror Story) as Quicksilver—whose iconic slow-motion mansion rescue stands out as one of the franchise’s most memorable sequences—along with Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones) as Jean Grey, Tye Sheridan (Ready Player One) as Cyclops, and Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Power of the Dog) as Nightcrawler. Revisiting it after years, moments like Quicksilver’s rescue, Magneto’s tragic turning point, and Jean Grey’s Phoenix emergence still shine — even as the film jumps between multiple storylines, shifting tones, and a villain whose presence doesn’t always land the way you’d expect. Blending large-scale spectacle with character arcs, X-Men: Apocalypse remains one of the most divisive entries in the franchise — with flashes of greatness mixed into a movie that feels all over the place on rewatch. #XMen #XMenApocalypse #MarvelMovies #MovieReaction #FilmReaction #MovieCommentary #SuperheroMovies #Magneto #Quicksilver #JeanGrey #FirstTimeWatching #Rewatch #React #ReactTo #Reaction #Commentary #RoadToAvengersDoomsday #RoadToDoomsday #AvengersDoomsday #MCU - X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE (2009) Reaction Commentary: https://youtu.be/Zfk2qa-a-vI - X-MEN: THE LAST STAND (2006) Reaction Commentary: https://youtu.be/3ZhImFDcVrs - X2: X-MEN UNITED (2003) Reaction Commentary: https://youtu.be/qXVcwzDpvWA - X-MEN (2000) Movie Reaction Commentary: https://youtu.be/NcGK6ZlPYRM Follow *Coy Jandreau* https://www.youtube.com/@CoyJandreau https://www.tiktok.com/@coyjandreau?lang=en https://www.instagram.com/coyjandreau/?hl=en https://twitter.com/CoyJandreau Follow Greg Alba: https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ https://twitter.com/thegregalba 0:00 Checking In!

This movie really solidified that Jennifer Lawrence was completely over this role.

The Magneto parts are always the best parts of these movies. A shame we didn't get a X-en Origins: Magneto movie...

@Lillian.Gao. 2026-04-05

lmao yeah Olivia Munn trained for months in swordfighting... for less than 1 minute of screentime using it. OOF That said, the Magneto storyline was sick! It's obvious Fassbender and McAvoy still care as much as they did during "First Class"... and I'll alway take an Evan Peters Quicksilver sequence
