I Didn't Think It Could Get Any Better!

Rating: 9/10 (27 May 2014)

With the days of political correctness upon us, it sometimes is difficult to wade through and find the real gems on the big screen. I feel like a big Toys"R"Us kid, but I unabashedly thoroughly enjoyed this movie with one of my Grand-sons. I didn't give the movie a full 10 stars, but at the same time I can't think of any part of the film that was flawed. It is entertainment, action, drama, sci-fi in one movie, with virtually every character playing a part made just for them. It did not rely on The Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) to carry the movie's plot, but instead was a carefully threaded story of who and what the X-Men are, thus the name "Days of Future Past. And more than anything else, the movie was not about political correctness, and even did a subtle push- back against the current politically correct crowd. I Didn't Think It Could Get Any Better! But I was certainly wrong. This movie is a winner, and its success even has Hugh Jackman reconsidering his retirement of the role he has become synonymous with, the role of The Wolverine. Suffice it say, I am truly anticipating the next X-Men sequel. How in the world could they top this one, remains to be seen.
