Brian Singer...enough said

Rating: 4/10 (22 May 2014)

Brian Singer has done nothing but stomp on the source material he claims to love so much. I have no idea were fan-boys get to idolize him so much. I have tried to visualize this franchise as a parallel universe (there are so many of those in the comics) but still I can't stand how lame the characters come through. X-men: days of future past is no different.
Plot: Instead of ripping the entire film, I am going to present a simple thought on the premise of the movie that will give you an insight on how badly people want to love this movie despite it's blatantly glaring flaws. The premise of this plot states that Xavier can transport a consciousness back in time to the younger self of the individual. It also claims that the strongest telepath on Earth (Jean Grey is dead remember) is too weak to survive the journey. They come to the conclusion that Logan is the perfect candidate to travel due to his healing abilities. Wait...what? Why is a healing ability a factor to the equation when Xavier is transporting a consciousness? No physical body is traveling otherwise there would have been two Wolverines in the film (which would have made for a far more interesting film with funnier moments than the ones they deliver through Quicksilver). Kitty Pride plays a part in the time traveling scheme again establishing that a physical body is being transported yet is just a consciousness. This building block alone makes the entire structure fall flat on its face. That it is entertaining, sure why not, but to say it is the best X- men movie is taking it to far. We are yet to see a decent X-men movie to date. The closest Mr Singer has been to a source material and mythology was with Superman Returns and everyone cra*+^# on that one (to me that movie is the best Singer has offered). One more thing, the fact that Jennifer Lawrence takes up so much of the screen time (due to her fame with the much crappier Hunger Games) let's me know the audience the producers were meaning to capture with this one.
Verdict: You might enjoy the visuals and the action. Quicksilver will deliver the funniest moments in the film. Peter Dinklage was a waste of a great actor. Brian Singer continues to stomp on the rich and vast source material to create his own versions of characters he says to love as if all his intention is to take the glory that rightfully belongs to Stan Lee. I'd personally wait for it to show on your premium movie channels.
