X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

The timeline issues really start to come through in this movie. The Wolverine scene, while cool, doesn’t make sense for the continuity of Origins and the first X-men movie. Also being a prequel, we knew the outcome so having a doomsday doesn't make sense. This movie looks cool and has cool moments but the timeline is off and the story feels underwhelming. First Class was small enough scale to make you worry and Future’s Past had the future as a stake with the happy ending. This movie doesn’t make sense where it is but like I said, it has cool moments and scenes.
