X-Men: Apocalypse (out May 19) isn't particularly original but it's still a well-assembled action flick. He’s a stereotypical villain but Oscar Isaac does a great job fleshing out his character’s motivations. The more interesting characters are those that straddle the line between good and bad. However, it's clear the focus is more on action pieces as opposed to internal conflict. Grade: B.
