Good movie, however ratings here are overrated

Rating: 6/10 (17 August 2014)

Okay, they've got a wonderful list of casts in there. Great acting, great special effects, great showcase of fictional characters, but... the only thing that's not so well done is the plot.
Time travel has always been a fascinating movie theme, one that's difficult to get right, because time traveling is a fantasy, it could NEVER be real, physics would not allow that. But, there are some fantastic time traveling movies -- Back to the Future (especially the first one) is a good example. X-Men: Days of Future Past, however is NOT. I'll just leave it at that.
If I were to compare this with the previous X-Men movies, this has got to be the least interesting one. This movie lacks focus. Okay, maybe Mystique was the focal point of the movie (character wise), but we didn't get to know her any better than we did going in, so that couldn't be it. The story was pretty generic, the only redeeming quality of this movie, that's new to its prequel, is the coming about of the sentinels.
To sum up, it's a good movie to be watching around with families, but if you step into the theater expecting a 8.5 or 9 movie, you'd be disappointed. Although you'll get to see all your favorite actors and characters, you'd leave feeling kinda of empty. Maybe a good meal would fix that up!
