Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
This movie is VERY great. Well done, maybe one of the best Xmen movies. Very deep too. Wish Hollywood would do more like this movie.
Plenty of action to go with this non-stop story. Most of it is not predictable. Things seem to go from bad to worse for the future of mutants.We are tempted to focus on James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, not to mention Hugh Jackman, but despite being fourth in the credits the center of the story is Jennifer Lawrence. She plays the pivot pin of the entire situation. Raven is a product of her past and Lawrence does a great job of showing her struggle to overcome it. Why is Lawrence fourth in the credits? I recently saw Logan and can't help but make comparisons. Both have action and destruction right and left, but this movie manages to do it without the gore and mutilation. Logan has little substance in the plot, but this movie delivers an engaging plot. In this movie we have good acting from most if not all of the majors, while in Logan, all the performances were mailed in. The reason I compare the two is because Logan has a IMDb rating of 8.2 and this one, as I write, an 8.0. This movie is so much better, in all aspects.
Having Bryan Singer back in charge clearly makes all the difference in the world. This man was born to make X-Men films. The first two X-Men movies were excellent, also done by Bryan Singer. X-Men: the last stand was an OK movie with some very bad logic flaws but the two wolverine films prior this were terrible in my opinion. The first thing this movie does right is it appears to disregard these completely. Because of X- Men: the last stand, Bryan Singer had his work cut out for him to undo all the logic flaws and I must say I was a bit skeptical after the epic fail of superman returns, but you can clearly see that Singer has done his homework and created a magical film with a lot of heart in the story and characters. Without giving too much away, I will say that every scene is breathtaking. The story is a well-constructed piece of emotion and heart. What really makes this film work is the complexity of the characters, especially Charles Xavier (professor X, both older and younger), Raven, and Magneto. What all these characters have in common is they are all tortured souls. As for Logan, well, Hugh Jackman is always fantastic, but the real star of the show is McAvoy, Fassbender, Lawrence. All of their characters help you to feel something for them. This movie presents a time travel paradox, if you cannot look past that or are a viewer that prefers mainly non fiction, or cannot take sci fi leaps of faith, ignore this review. We'll both be better off.See this film. It is probably the best superhero movie of the last decade. The only ones that are of the same caliber of superhero movies are Christopher Nolan's Batman movies. In some ways this film is even better. Rating: 10
X-Men:Days of Future Past is one of my favorite movies of all time.I love how cast members from the prequels and original movies all appear in the same movie.Every actor and actress in the movie and their performances are really great.I love what Wolverine's reaction was like when he met the younger x-men in the past.And Evan Peters did such a terrific job as Quicksliver. I give the movie 10 out of 10.Ans Jennifer Lawrence did a great job playing as Mystique,one of the reasons why she is one of my favorite celebrities.
