I must say I wasn't too sure about him either beforehand, but they pulled off the character well and give him one hugely memorable scene, even though his total screentime amounts to ten minutes tops. It is even implied that Magneto is actually his father.

I missed the preview screening I had, but the people went liked it a lot though are highly confused about the ending.

It as the same issues almost any film featuring time travel has - flaws in logic. Those stem from the very idea of time travel not making much sense to begin with.

Time travel has no flaws, sir!

But did the Juggernaut say his most famous line, bitch?

He already said it in the 3rd film.

Man people are really forgetting the third film and ragging on it, It also had sentinals in it (The first also mentions the Mutant Registration act, and other points, but they never were allowed to focus on those things in the beginning due to the studio). But It's still leagues above Spiderman 3, ASM2, and most 3quel superhero films. It may not have the substance of the of the first two films, but it's still one hell of an entertaining film. It was as much the writers fault and Ratner getting brought on relatively late in the stage of directing (Not defending him) that the film just rushes too much and (Marsden jumping ship with Singer too hurt the main plot as well)

I saw it last night, and I don't think it holds up well, especially after watching X2 the night before it. The movie has a lot of problems, and I think a lot of it is the rushed production.

I couldn't agree more, most of that in thanks to the main leads not being the problem at all, they all still got everything right. And the action and effects are top notch. Also I think it's the best musical score of the entire series. Story is what it is. The second you have to compare it to the first two is where it unfolds. I think that may have been the biggest problem with the original series. Unlike Batman, Superman, or even Spiderman each entry was kind of standalone. X-men kept building on it's themes and story and fell short when they couldn't deliver on the third film.

So you actually disagree...

Wow, three pages already and it hasn't even been released in America yet.

A+

**SPOILERS AHEAD

This was everything I wanted out of an X-Men film and more. The story worked almost perfectly for me, and is essentially everything I could want from a Days of Future Past adaptation. The only thing that didn't work, for me, was the role Kitty played in this. Sure, it was great to make her an essential part of the film since it was her character that got sent back in the comics, but her newfound ability just doesn't make sense at all in relation to her phasing power. I think Rogue would have worked better for it, since having her show a power that she's never shown in the original trilogy is easily worked around.

Beyond that, though, it was just all awesome, all the time. The special effects were stellar, showcasing the various mutant powers in ways that none of the previous films ever did, and gave the film a superhero feel that none other that came before even came close to. Beast looked a million times better than he did in either Last Stand or First Class, and everyone's powers in the future segments were amaaaazing. Storm's powers in particular looked awesome, with the moment she blows up the jet that Magneto launches at the Sentinels looking especially great.

I loved the brutality of the future scenes too, another great nod to the comic book version of the story where both Storm (impaled) and Wolverine (disintegrated) bite it in horrible ways. Iceman's death the first time around (decapitated, head crunched) and Colossus' second death (torn in half) were especially harsh.

Oh, and Quicksilver? So much hatred for the guy beforehand, but he stole every scene he was in, and was a source of constant laughs and amusement for the crowd at my theatre. Definitely a big favourite, and the ultimate proof that you should never judge a book by its cover.

I'm just... gblrghle. Loved it so much.

question for those who have seen it - is this a direct sequel to X-Men First Class or The Wolverine? (i didn't see The Wolverine...)

LOVED it. So awesome. Easily my favorite X-Men movie to date. Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Nicholas Hoult are all great and have the most screentime, and I loved the last half hour in particular. So exciting. The ending was perfect. Also, Evan Peters has a brief role but kind of steals the entire movie because his big scene is so awesome. The original cast isn't really given much to do but I appreciated their inclusion, even though most are extended cameos (Anna Paquin is literally in it for one second, I'm not even kidding, and Halle Berry has about five lines). Those who do get small arcs fare the best (Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Ellen Page). It's also incredibly well directed and blends the two timelines together seamlessly. Easily the best movie of the summer so far and it's going to be hard to beat as the most entertaining. A

The only scene that's even remotely relevant in The Wolverine is the end credits scene. It's much more of a sequel to First Class than any other film in this franchise.

Cool beans. Thanks.

I think the best way to describe this is not only Thank you Mr. Singer, but at the same time also Fuck you Mr. Singer. Fuck you for leaving your franchise to lesser creative minds and studio control, but much like this film, thank you for coming back to restore the damage that came from you turning your back on the series almost a decade ago.

It's just a real treat to watch this film, and probably comes the closest to the 90s animated series by playing more to the hardcore fans, but manages to be so entertaining at the same tim. This is so much more than an action/ superhero film. In fact I'd say it's as much a character opera as anything else with probably the least amount of action since the original film. Which is surprisingly interesting because it's so much larger, grander, and epic, but the viewer isn't missing the action. Oh there are wonderful action moments sprinkled throughout, but unlike the previous films with well matched opponents facing off in epic fashion, it's the fight for your life tension that sells it even more. Much like the Potter films, it's great to see so many wonderful and celebrated actors perform against each other that have grown over the course of the series, and while some get the shaft here, it does work to the right degree that everyone (Even in the briefest parts) gets a moment to shine.

I think my biggest issue with the film is that I could have easily had another 30 minutes of them going on, and of course I'd say its 75/25 First Class vs. Old Class, but that's ok. I can't wait for the deleted scenes or an extended cut. It's that rare time at a theater that even when you know they ended this adventure, you say why can't you just keep going when you're on such a roll. And while I'm excited for the next First Class adventure Apocalypse, I say fuck it and give us a real X-Men 4, First Class, and Future Wolverine and X-Men films. With an ending like that (Even though you are as clueless as Wolverine, which is funny as it's one of the most smile inducing endings ever) The Marvel Universe may be huge and vast, but X-Men comes back in full force to reclaim the superhero thrown, and we can only hope it continues to expand. Something Sony and Spider-man just aren't getting.

A+ I'm not sure it's my favorite of the series, but it hits the heights and exceeds them in a lot.

PS to anyone still reading this. There was a trailer for Sex Tape before hand, and I've seen a lot of horror films, and a lot of horror trailers, but I've never seen more people jump in a theater than at the end of that trailer with a dog. Myself included. Holy Shit!

And While love that ending

It made me laugh, because...



Assuming people stuck around to the very, very end of the credits...

I was a little disappointed with it. Some of that probably comes from reading the script (Stewart and McKellen saying their [final] goodbyes intercut with McAvoy and Fassbender saying theirs was my favorite bit), some comes from being annoyed that the film has the same mild awkwardness as most of Singer's films (Erik's exit here -- huh? "Guess I'll just go now. Bye guys."), and most probably stems from unrealistic expectations.

I'm just bitching. I thought it was a solid B+ but I was hoping for an A.

Liked it. Do I think it's overwhelmingly the best X-Men movie like it seems everyone else does? Eh. I need to see it again. Plus I was exhausted so I kinda missed quite a few stuff in the last third.

XMEN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

This film was fantastic. It kept me glued throughout. The story was inventive, acting superb from just about all the players and visuals were great too. I thought this film easily tops every previous XMen film. From the opening fight sequence to Quicksilver's piece and Mystique's piece there was so much quality action in this film. I think this will be highly rewatchable for the general public. Perhaps my favorite characters in the film were Mystick or Quicksilver. I was just so surprised at how great Evan Peters was as Quicksilver. JLaw really elevates Mystique to a new level here completely making Romain's version a distant memory. Hopefully, JLaw continues to play this character at least a couple more times before she tires of it. As far as what didn't work I can only think of one thing and that is how everyone knows they will be successful just a couple minutes in if not before the film. There was no real drama in that instance. Also, a minor quibble the person playing Nixon could have been better though I did like the recording device in the desk. Also, JFK as a mutant was a nice token too. I can't wait to check the film out again.

Grade - A

I disagree, after so much on that one moment in time, I expected that to be the finale, not the middle. Also the discussion Hank has, and future Charles on the ripples meaning nothing. I don't think that they made everything better, may have just postponed something even worse.

If I had one minor complaint

A+

Best superheroes movies after the TDK trilogy

A+ I loved it and thought it lived up to my expectations. It is easier the best or second best X-Men films along X2. As for the end
