The reviews for X-Men: Apocalypse have been pretty mixed, which comes as a genuine shock after the overwhelmingly positive response to X-Men: Days of Future Past two years ago.

It’s a shame that Fox decided to reveal this moment in the trailers for X-Men: Apocalypse, as it would have made for a great surprise.
