Great Superhero Movie

Rating: 8/10 (26 June 2014)

The X-men films have been hit or miss but X-men Days of Future's Past hits it out of the park. Nearly everything works in this film from the superb direction to the complexity of the characters. One aspect that works in the films favor is that there are plenty of mutants and they are all utilized well. One in particular steals the show and one scene encapsulates this proclamation. The usual suspects return of course both young and old and that's what really works in this film. Now seeing them back to back the younger versions truly resemble the older counterparts in terms of personality. It was great to see James Mcavoy and Michael Fassbender reprise their roles as Magneto and Charles Xavier. Their rapport is truly astounding , I just wish there were more scenes with them. Too much attention was focused on Wolverine. Another issue with the film is the Trask character. He is just too dull to carry a movie. However the action is first rate and the film is a complete X-men movie. Overall this film is great, while being slightly below "First Class" it still belongs on the mantle along with the other superb Marvel Films.
