X-Men: Days of Future Past Review (2014)

straight from a movie xmen2

X-Men: Days of Future Past is stark brilliant!

Boo you ‪‎Ratner‬! We don’t want you messing with it again! So I knew the flick was going to make me jump on my seat since ‪Time Travel‬ was entailed and boy it did!

SPOILERS

To begin with we have the punishing and ravaging ‪Sentinels‬, there designs hi-tech and adaptive unlike the sloth ones from the animated series! And boy can they fight? We see ‪‎Blink‬ and her portals equally ravishing, those fight seqs are pretty dope! We don’t see much of ‪Warpath‬ yet he has been subtly put just like ‪Sunspot‬ and ‪Bishop‬. Was having a gala time spotting my favorite mutants like ‪Toad‬, ‪Havok‬ a.k.a ‪Alex‬ \m/ and watching the fastest Marvel character ‪and Magneto’s yet to be officially proclaimed son, Quick Silver‬ fool around in bullet time!

‪Stryker‬ resurrects himself with his dots to connect, whilst ‪Wolverine‬ is charming as ever! But who really picked it up? Well it’s Lawrence‬ and friend-cum-foe duo ‪Fassbender‬ and ‪McAvoy‬! Acting knows no bound when Fassbender’s around. He paints a movie with his style and sheer pizazz! ‪‎Dinklage‬ does justice to ‪Trask‬ and breathes the character alive with his conviction! One of the most beautiful parts of the movie when ‪‎Charles‬ talks to himself through time  and convinces himself of himself, the end and the eventuality, making him rebound with hope.

The contrasting glimpse of future and past was a delight to watch and ‪‎Singer‬ sings like a nightingale wrapping up an epic Marvel universe drama with action, brilliant story-line, portals, mutant-thirsty charismatic Sentinels, series of heart-wrecking deaths, flying Magneto, manipulative X, and of course time travel! Nothing gave me more pleasure than watching Scott‬ come breathing alive on the screen.

All those final moments my crossed fingers talked “Please Scott be alive…Please Scott be alive!” Now I can die in peace 🙂
