X-Men Apocalypse: 11 Best Moments

11. Magneto, The Cop Killer

Though Magneto having a wife and child in Poland may be fairly generic, it does result in one of the franchise's most memorably savage death scenes.

After a Polish police officer accidentally fires an arrow at Magneto's wife and daughter, Magneto's rage gets the better of him, and he fires a metal locket (containing pictures of his parents) at the half-dozen cops, slicing all their throats, causing them to drop to the ground in grimly poetic fashion.

It's pretty gnarly stuff for a PG-13 movie, and emphasises the anger and anguish Magneto is feeling, ultimately causing him to fall in with Apocalypse. Fassbender totally kills the scene, and visually it looks great too.
