Oh what a sweet ride !!!

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2014)

Summer movies rarely get better than this just let me say that. The X- men series has been plagued by inconsistent changes from the comics that rarely even make it from film to film. Making any true continuity between each film very wishy washy at best. That being said I have enjoyed all of them despite sometimes taking liberties with the source material (X-Men The Last Stand). X-men The Last Stand by many hardcore comic followers is a big let down for the liberties it took and while I admit being disappointed with how they handled the Phoenix Saga I did find it overall very enjoyable. But I wont lie and say X-men Days Of Future Pasts had me very excited with its promise to go back and fix some of those liberties that were taken in The Last Stand. This is very much Xavier's story as it was in First Class, here we see a broken and unhappy Xavier who is dealing with the events of First Class. The dynamic between James McAvoy Aand Michael Fassbender is just awesome. Michael Fassbender brings so much intensity to his role as Magneto that he nearly steals every scene he's in. And of course we have probably Hugh Jackman's most human and caring portrayal of Wolverine ever seen on film. Jennifer Lawerence does a great job capturing the complexities of an angry and fed up Mystique who is very much essential to the story here. We get some amazing action scenes featuring the original cast in the future scenes and it all lends itself to the story very well. This is a dire situation that has come about and you certainly see quickly that something has to be done to fix it. Wolverine is an essential piece on the chess board in this film but it is truly Xavier who is the King. The movie fires right on every cylinder and delivers perhaps the best superhero movie since 2012's The Dark Knight Rises. We've had some great comic book movies since then but none of them were on this level. This isn't trying to be a comic book movie full of action its trying to be a story driven by comic book characters and the end result is one of the most satisfying chapters in the X-men Saga.. I can say when the movie ended the only emotion I felt was dread. Dread that I had to wait 2 more years to revisit this great characters.
