Cool, but Makes No Sense

Rating: 3/10 (10 December 2014)

I don't know if it's just me, or X-Men franchises has been overplayed since First Class, or maybe even prior to that. All I know is that Wolverine's badassness has been quite overplayed to the point that it became boring to see Hugh Jackman with that wolfy sideburns and fork hands.
I actually wanted to elaborate it with a long narrative text, but it might become as boring as Wolverine. So, I'll make it simple.
*SPOILER ALERT*
First thing that annoyed me most is that too many anomalies for a franchise that's supposed to stand in-between First Class and its predecessors. It's as if all those stories were all afterthought just for the sake of prolonging the franchises. Here's my list of those anomalies that I found rather annoying and raised too many question marks for my likings:
One, Xavier's supposed to be limp, but the producer knew that people wouldn't want to see the oh-so-good-looking James McAvoy sitting around on a wheelchair throughout the movie. Badass protagonist should stand side-by-side with his equally badass partner, or face- to-face with his equally badass enemy. So, here comes the so-called medication for his spine.
Two, Xavier's way too invincible. Well, who wouldn't if you have telepathy and super-telekinetic power to even control the time? The producer surely realized it and toned down his character heavily. So, here comes the so-called side-effect.
Three, Mystique's the rogue, strong-willed, one-man-army femme fatale... where the hell did that come from? Wasn't Mystique supposed to be loyal to Magneto in the prequels? People changes, sure, but I think the producers were more considering about Lawrence's popularities in her role as Katniss and kinda overplayed this. So, here comes the rogue, strong-willed, one-man-army femme fatale.
Four, the producer thought that too many unimportant and less-badass characters like the poor Azazel or Banshee (which, unfortunately, weren't as good-looking as Summers and McCoy) , and they got rid of them... just like what? Like photos in a specimen report? I liked Azazel, though. And whatever the deal with the girl with power just like Banshee?
Five, Magneto was imprisoned in a bunker prison with advanced security and plastic bullets. Whatever happened to the less-advanced prison where the older-Magneto was held captive in X2?
Six, is it just me, or the technologies in X-Men franchise are becoming more and more advanced every time newer franchise's out. Like technologies in X2 were more advanced than that in X-Men, and The Last Stand was more advanced than its prequels. And First Class was even more advanced, which was supposed to set prior to the other three. And then they have these plastic transformers in Days of Future Past? What the heck...?
Seven, Sentinel is T-1000 as in The Terminator. No further comments needed.
Eight, what was Kitty's power again? I thought playing with time was Xavier's forte? Can anyone please explain?
Nine, All those machine guns and no dead bodies? Please, is this Disney?
Ten, (for me) "changing the past" is the worst solution a writer could ever think of. S/he might be wanting to prolong his/her story, or already running out of idea for solution. "Going into the future" sounds less-confusing than "changing the past", seriously. Whenever I watch movies that revolves around "changing the past" theme, I'd always think of what becomes the today's world once the history has changed? Perished like dust, then replaced with the already-changed- history version of today's world?
Okay, this could go on forever if I continue on with this. All those point I wrote were mostly taken from the first half of the movie. I could write a book if I list every anomalies in the entire movie. You should watch it yourself and see my points, or so I hope.
Overally, I enjoyed X-Men; Days of Future Past as some mindless-but- cool action movie, nothing much. If you don't wonder much about various unnecessary details, and if you haven't watched the prequels, you might find yourself happy that you've watched it. But if you do wonder about various unnecessary details, and at some point have watched the prequels, you might find yourself confused throughout the movie.
