outstanding

Rating: 9/10 (13 August 2014)

This was an outstanding entry in the X-Men/Marvel Comics series of movies. The only disappointment:no cameo by Stan Lee! The movie centers around an assassination on a scientist 50 years earlier by Mystique/Raven, which will lead to an attack and subsequent war with android-like characters called the Sentinels. The war is very devastating. The solution-send one of them back in time to prevent the assassination, and that someone turns out to be Wolverine. (Doesn't this remind you a bit of the Terminator?) He tracks down the younger versions of the Mutants and makes an attempt to thwart the assassination.
This movie features superb action, characters, special effects, and surprises. Everything about it was first-rate, and I guarantee that you will love it.
*** out of ****
