Singer doesn't seem to have been as engaged with the script and dialogue as usual, perhaps he really was preoccupied with those allegations.
Thats just a really bad excuse to think better of Singer.
in the long run singer isn't invincible to making just ok movies, Superman returns gets a mixed reception for the most part as some think its boring and while it seems he thought at the time it was a good idea to make it a sequel to Superman 1 and 2 he had later looked back and said really he probably should just have rebooted.
jack the giant slayer is another movie that didn't go down as a classic, infact its a pretty forgettable movie that people try and make excuses for by saying his heart wasn't in it which again is stupid, like his heart is only for X-Men.
In the long run apocalypse was pretty much more singers baby then Kinbergs, perhaps it was an over-ambitious baby for singer but its obvious he was happy with the script, they had enough time to write before they even started casting the young cast, infact it seems like there were several drafts with one having trask in it which was changed.
And we can blame kinberg all we want but he did write DOFP even if it was with help, perhaps the only real difference is DOFP had a more compact story compared to apocalypse with the majority of DOFP being about 3 or 4 characters and Charles being the emotional core of it all.
While apocalypse was trying to be a balancing act for everyone.
