The Best X-Men Movie in the Series

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2014)

I saw "X-Men:Days of Future Past", starring Hugh Jackman-Real Steel, Swordfish; James McAvoy-Wanted, Band of Brothers_t.v., Michael Fassbender-The Counselor, Jonah Hex; Jennifer Lawrence-Katniss in the Hunger Games movies, Winter's Bone and Peter Dinklage-Game of Thrones_t.v., Death at a Funeral.
This is based on a comic book storyline from the X-Men comic books from somewhere around 1981. It's directed by Bryan Singer-he directed the first two X-Men movies-and I think this film is the best one in the series. It combines both the older and the newer characters by using time travel. The story starts off in the not too distant future, where Sentinels- mutant hunting robots-are eliminating any and all mutants wherever they can find them. The surviving X-Men come up with a plan to send Hugh-Wolverine-into the past, to prevent the building of the Sentinels. It seems that Hugh is the only X-Man that could survive the trip, what with his unique healing factor. Peter-Bolivar Trask-creates the mutant hunting robots in 1973 and Jennifer-Mystique- assassinates him, which causes the speedy production of the Sentinels. Hugh has to jump back in time, get the younger versions of James-Charles Xavier-and Michael-Magneto-to help him find Jennifer and then stop her, before the Sentinels kill the last mutants in the bleak future. There are several new mutants to keep an eye on; Warpath, Blink and Quicksilver are a few and Quicksilver is a real scene stealer. There is also a scene after the end credits which sets up the next X-Men movie; it shows a brief glimpse of the next villain and his name starts with an "A". It's rated "PG-13" for violence, language and sexual content-including nudity-and has a running time of 2 hours & 11 minutes. I really enjoyed this one and I would buy it on Blu-Ray.
