It's All Out War in the Final X-Men: Apocalypse Trailer

Today brings about the final theatrical trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse, showing off tons of action, cool Easter eggs, parental acknowledgements, and general awesomeness. Come inside to feast your eyes!
The first two trailers for X-Men: Apocalypse set the tone, introduced us to the new villain and how dangerous he really is, while showing off some pretty cool action shots. Today's final trailer, cranks all of that up to 11 in the best ways possible.
Long time X-Men fans should have plenty to be happy about in this trailer. Not only do we get to see Quicksilver acknowledge his parentage (something they skirted around in the previous film), but there's a tiny hint about Nightcrawler knowing about Mystique as well (she's supposed to be his mother). Granted, I still think the ages look off and they're all a little to close to being peers rather than parents to the "younger" generation, it's still pretty neat. »

The titular creature was originally supposed to be called The Molten Meteor Monster, which then was changed to The Mass, which turned into The Glob, and Finally The Blob. The film's tongue-in-cheek title song was written by Burt Bacharach and Mack David, which became a hit. The movie was directed by Irvin Yeaworth who specialized in directing motivational educational and religious films, so this was a departure for him. The film was a moderate success, grossing over $4 million, although the critics weren’t overly kind. It has a 67% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite its cheesiness, its reputation has grown over »
