Days of Future Boring.

Rating: 5/10 (25 May 2014)

I actually just made an account to review this movie because I was so utterly disappointed. I went in with such high hopes, and after watching about half the movie I realized it was a flop. With the addition of Bishop and the other new mutants I thought this movie was going to be epic for the X-series. However, it turned out to be just a bunch of cameo appearances that added to the story without explanation.
If you have ever watched the 'Days of Future Past' episode from the X-Men cartoon series you will even be more disappointed with this movie. Not sure what the deal is with Bolivar Trask being a little person, but I really didn't like that addition since I am a die-hard X-Men fan. The movie had quite a bit of action but the plot was bland and boring, not to mention the fact that Storm, Colossus, Iceman, etc had little to do with the actual movie.
I was also not impressed with the make-up and design of the sentinels, but that it not as big a deal as some of the plot problems with the movie. I felt like it was more of a movie about Mystique than anything. With her defying the laws of physics with every kick and punch, I get tired of seeing her character portrayed as a massively tough mutant. All in all it was a decent movie, but with all the hype and trailers that I watched I expected much, much more from this film. If you go in and have a lot of knowledge about X-Men, you probably will be disappointed. If you just watch the X-Men Series movies you will probably love it.
