Oscar Isaac's portrayal of the legendary X-Men villain was doomed ever since those first "Ivan Ooze" pictures landed online.

Bryan Singer's approach to Apocalypse is a strange one all-around, both in terms of his surprisingly diminutive character design (presumably because making him a giant would be impractical and make the visual effects budget balloon out of control), and the fact that an actor of Isaac's caliber was hired to basically give an anonymous, shouty performance.

While his mental duel with Xavier at the end of the movie is pretty good, it's shocking how easily and definitively he was killed off considering all the hype. Disappointing, but at least we had a pretty good inkling about this ahead of time.
