Days of future past vs what I expected it to be like.

Rating: 7/10 (28 August 2014)

I expected a lot after reading the reviews and watching the trailers and all but from the minute the movie started I knew that I had been tricked.
First of all the beginning of this movie wasn't as great as the beginning of first class. Due to this weak start my expectations for the rest of the movie lowered. A film like this needs a good beginning, which I thought the dark knight movies gave us. Days of future past gives us a very messy start and one might find it hard to concentrate or to watch the beginning because there was too much happening everywhere all together. There's something happening here then something else happens there and then we completely forget what just happened before that.
The acting was OK, but the directing was bad. Mostly because it's not possible to see most parts because it's really really dark. I do understand that they've done that on purpose as to show the darkness that there living in but seriously couldn't they make it just a little bit less darker. Also the slow motion, I loved the slow motion in the beginning half of the film. That part was breathtaking and it was one of my favorite parts of the entire movie ( of course I mean the pentagon part). But as you go more and more into the movie you can realize that almost half of the movie is in slow motion, some of it unnecessary.
The story was OK. It wasn't thought through well. Firstly it didn't make much sense. The story at the beginning half made it look like the story could have a really good prestige like, shocking ending but ended weirdly and not making sense at all. I have no idea how they are going to make a sequel for this with that ending. If they do make a sequel , I don't think it will have a lot to do with this. Also some parts of the movie were slow making it a bit boring.
I really preferred first class in all ways ( this didn't even have any humor at all.) anyways it was watchable but not what you might expect it to be.
