X-Men: Days of Future Past is perfection of the comic book genre; a must see film.

Rating: 8/10 (27 May 2014)

For a movie that has it all (time travel, superheroes, action, all-star cast), Bryan Singer pulls off an impressive woven story that combines the old and younger X-Men together. I'm usually not a fan of Singer, but I walked away thoroughly impressed what he pulled off in this film.
Using the trick from the time travel play book of Star Trek, Singer has set up the franchise in a way to bring back all the characters killed off from X-Men: The Last Stand. Yet, this time travel device was unique from anything I've ever seen on film because instead of physically sending someone back in time, their conscious was transported back which restricted who could travel back in time and how long ago they could go.
A much younger Whiplash was also a nice dose of action and humor to the film with a action sequence that is up there with the Matrix. With one of the biggest all-star casts ever assembled next to the Avengers, Michael Fassbender shines as Magento once again with true performance that gives life to an otherwise far-fetched plot. James McAvoy returns as the younger Charles Xavier giving an excellent performance as well.
However, the reason I gave this movie an 8/10 is because I wasn't wholly satisfied after the credits rolled. The film didn't utilize the powerhouse duo of Patrick Stewart or Ian McKellen. It also didn't establish the present dystopia world in order to rush to the time travel part. The CGI was very mediocre for the Sentinels in the present time and I didn't buy the action. I wish they had attempted more real-life sequences and spent more time setting up the film and giving more thought to the CGI effects.
Overall, Bryan Singer hits a home run with this film by giving audiences exactly what they want: a comic book movie that plays like a comic book with stellar performances by Fassbender and McAvoy. A must see film for any comic book fans.
