X-Men: Days of Future Past

X-Men Days of Future PastThe Gist: The X-Men send Wolverine back in time to prevent an event that dooms them in the future and therefore change history.

Although I never read the comic book, I’m a huge X-Men fan.  I’ve watched all the movies (or I’m planning to anyway) and love them all, even the weaker ones.  And of course I love the whole concept of being cool precisely because one is different.

In X-Men: Days of Future Past the story starts out in the future, with the original batch of actors, and then swings back in time to their younger versions.

The back and forth is handled like clockwork, the script is captivating, the score perfect, the new characters are great, the visual effects stunning, and the costumes exquisite.

The Bottom Line: I really don’t have anything but praise for this new chapter in the X-Men canon, and can only hope that more of this caliber will follow it.

Grade: 8
