Is X-Men: Apocalypse a confusing movie?

Dragonfly82·3/12/2017 in General

Is X-Men: Apocalypse a confusing movie? I understand Last Stand and Days of Future Past. Thought, X-Men: Apocalypse is only confusing. Eric has killed millions of people and destroyed whole cities and Charles has hope for Eric? Raven did turn a new leaf.

Why did Apocalypse need four horse men which is misleading there were two women when he was able to force Charles to destroy the nukes through Cerebro? Why not attack the world like Skynet in Terminator franchise or like in X2: X-Men United and you are done.

That still doesn't make sense. What he did in the *Past* section of Days of Future Past was a separate timeline...

I never understood that part.

*Apocalypse: You betray me.

*Magneto: No, I betrayed them.

Apocalypse thought Magneto had turned on him.

In truth, Magneto had turned on his friends and family.

Though did he in reality betray both?

Aggression25·10/31/2017

Yes, he did, by joining Apocalypse.

Dragonfly82·10/31/2017

Maybe he feared Charles will get killed.

He was referring to First Class and DOFP.

Meaning?

I have always been confused does this look like a middle finger gesture in this scene. I am maybe overthinking it. Go to 2:01 and look behind Cyclops after he comes out of the wall.
