      There is a scene that can be found about half way through the 2:24 minutes that is X-Men:Apocalypse, where some of Charles Xavier's students go to see RETURN OF THE JEDI and debate on what was the best of the trilogy. One of the students says "The third movie always sucks". That will probably be said for this third entry in the current X-Men trilogy.      I'll cut to the chase and tell you that my biggest problem with APOCALYPSE is the villain, Apocalypse.

It became a big distraction for me.  I can't shake the fact that the story for why The Avengers are fighting each other is about as flimsy as as a stryofoam plate.
