Underdog movie of the summer!

Rating: 9/10 (6 June 2014)

Wow! What can I really say without spoiling anything for those who have yet to see this movie or deciding to see this movie?!
With recent release of X-Men Days of Future Past and the upcoming release of Transformers Age of Extinction, Edge of Tomorrow is slapped right in the middle of big name releases.
The pace of the movie was good, I thought it would be slow and dragged out considering that the movie is based upon the fact that Cage(Tom Cruise) relives the day over and over again every time he dies, the director makes sure that it isn't dragged out and I actually enjoyed it.
Tom Cruise character was played really well, he actually showed off his acting skills in this movie, I thought I was going to be watching Oblivion or one of his flops of recent years again, but he surprised me. His character fits the role and he really sold me on Cage.
Emily Blunt also warmed up, she played her part really well, living to the name of "full metal b!tch" but then we get a development on the reason why she was how she was.
The movie is based on the Japanese novel "All you need is kill" and it was well done. The ending leaves open to a sequel perhaps? The author, Hiroshi Sakurazaka did announce that he was penning a sequel to his novel "All you need is kill". Perhaps this will take time after Cage has learned to control the Mimics time power?
This is actually a movie I wouldn't mind watching a second time maybe in 3D. It may not have the "wow" factor of beloved comic book heroes of X-men, or the toy and Saturday cartoon nostalgia of Transformers, but I can honestly say that I would rate Edge of Tomorrow above X-Men Days of Future Past.
