If you loved Jack the Giant Slayer, try X-Men: Apocalypse

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What X-Men: Apocalypse is

Ancient Egypt, dawn breaking, pyramids looming. A powerful mutant awakens, disillusioned with humanity, and recruits a team of disillusioned mutants. Bryan Singer revisits familiar comic book territory with predictable results.
