X-Men: Days of Future
Past (2014)
Directed by Bryan
Singer this film stars Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Michael
Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart. In
the future Mutants are kept in camps and hunted by killer robots, the
only option left is to send someone back in time to prevent the
future ever happening.
Having to put the
X-Men franchise back together after the disaster of X-Men: The Last
Stand (2006) was a major effort but this film provides an elegant
reboot using one of the iconic story lines from the comics.
Unfortunately the plot of the film focuses too much on the 1973
portion of the story which lacks the huge scale and darkness of the
future portions which I would love to have seen more of as in the
comics. The plot does a decent job on a character level, expanding
the characters from the First Class (2011) but is not as good as some
of the other films in the franchise. There is plenty of enjoy and the
action sequences are decent but I am not sure this is the best
version of Days of Future Past we could have had.
4/5
