Marvel-ous

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2014)

I just saw the movie earlier today and I was impressed. I'm a big X-Men fan and I've seen the X-Men franchise just get better with age. This movie was very intense and it started off right. Much like X-Men 2 started with a serious battle and nice display of mutant abilities, Days of Future Past does the same. Of course the CGI is incredible, but the movie was more than that. They brought a lot of intensity much like they did in The Last Stand. Naturally, we were treated to some new mutants such as Bishop and Quicksilver.
The movie was done well. There were several layers to the story, but it was done in a way that it wasn't over baked nor were there many plot holes. The way the story was done it left itself open to be picked apart with inconsistencies, but they seamlessly tied all of the X-Men movies together into this one.
This was very edgy, serious, and at times comedic. This was a solid follow up to the last X-Men.
