Sunny, With a Chance of Sta...(you'll know it when you see it)

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2014)

In X-Men: Days of Future Past, Director Bryan Singer presents to the cinematic world not just another superhero movie, but a tour de force of a movie going experience. He achieves this by integrating exceptional storytelling and in-depth character development with the perfect balance of faithfulness to both the franchise and comic book. It is realized through world class support from the entire cast and crew. Notable performances are given by Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence. As a newcomer to the franchise, Peter Dinklage as Dr. Boliver Trask does a great job giving fans a villain they will have no choice but to love hating. Special mention goes out to Hugh Jackman. In Days of Future Past he truly delivers the essence of Wolverine, portraying with equal aplomb his every flaw and strength.
If you are unfamiliar with the franchise, an afternoon spent viewing X-Men (2000), X2 (2003) and X-Men: First Class (2011) just prior to attending a show should serve to enhance your enjoyment of the movie; hands down the best of them all. If you are even a casual fan you will not be disappointed. I will leave it to the die-hards and the curmudgeons to quibble over flaws; yes, of course there are some (though not many, to be sure). Days of Future Past is a must see. It will remain a timeless classic not only in the genre of superhero movies, but of film as a whole.
