X-Men: Days of "Future Sh!!e"

Rating: 1/10 (21 June 2014)

If I could give this movie (notice I didn't say "X-Men movie") zero stars, I would. OK, so here we go...we're enjoying the little reminder of the first two movie intro's (this one's in a similar style. We've had a bit of dramatic action...
I don't think it's really a spoiler to now tell you that this is where some "time travel" is involved. Aaaand...that's where I shot the director, your honour. How did Singer go from a good film maker, a director of fair detail, to THIS... :o/
Specifically, and again, I don't think I'm "spoiling" anything here; we here young "Professor X" speak a bit. Waitaminute...let me back up a minute or two first, before I get to it...In the future time, where we see Professor X and Wolverine have a conversation about imminent time travel, Patrick Stewart tells Wolverine, "I was very different back then"...
...What he neglects to mention is that he has had some sort of lobotomy, or brain surgery...which has resulted in him speaking in a VERY near as damn it, full-on broad COCKNEY ACCENT when "he" was younger. When the hell was Xavier EVER been a cockney? As if this weren't enough of a travesty (incidently, I immediately had nightmarish Iron Man 3 flashbacks at this point lol), our younger "Xavier" uses the following phrases while talking to Wolverine:

"Bloody" (as in the swear word)...OK, I can let that slide...it'd be easier though, IF he didn't sound like he were talking about jellied eels... - "P!!! off." (again, sounding like he might, at any minute, ask you if he can have a CAP of tea). - "F!!! off!" (same deal with the accent). - "Future sh!te." Hence, my title to this review.

The last three phrases are just SO out of character for Charles Xavier it's unreal. Plus, he obviously shouldn't sound anything like a cockney. For the love of all that is holy GIVE THIS FRANCHISE TO A STUDIO WHO CARES ABOUT GETTING IT RIGHT. I'm totally sick of this now... ..Yeah, I know it's a slim chance anybody with the power to change things might see my review, but in case you wondered, *that's* why I put that in capitals.
I love the X-Men, but that's not what this is. You're being lied to. A lot was changed for X1 & X2, but I could deal. Every film since then though, has been a smack in the face to the viewing public. Credit to the person who cast Kelsey as beast in X3, though...perfect choice for how BEAST should speak. There are good actors out there, all we need are some decent writers, and directors who care about detail getting the directing gigs again. Patrick Stewart, is pretty much just dialing it in now, in his film performances. As he did in the abomination that was ST Nemesis.
...If you could buy a Malibu beach house off the back of a terrible movie script though, would you say no to the job? ;oD Not many would. Anyway, I waffle. But seriously ladies and gents. I advise against paying to see this "movie" if you care anything for film. Even "movies" shouldn't get character details THIS incorrect. And let's bare in mind, this is meant to be kiddie friendly, and the more you feed the wh*remongers a.k.a. the MPAA and the BBFC (who at this point BOTH need to be given their marching orders), the more they'll keep crossing the line, resulting in screwing up society further still. The power to improve the quality of viewing material (or listening material) is in your hands. Use it. And, my advice is see this movie, if you must....BUT...for the love of common sense DON'T PAY anything to see it. It's up to you though...
